Biology Tutor (qualified to PhD level) who can tutor at all levels (GCSE, Undergrad, Postgrad)

Advert description

Hello! I'm Lucas (he/him) and I'm a Postdoctoral Researcher and Scientist previously employed at the University of Melbourne, Australia, but have now relocated to the UK. I have a research specialism in Genetics, Microbiology, Cell Biology, Omics Technologies, Evolution, Ecology and Zoology, in conjunction with a passion for teaching and communicating key aspects of biological science to diverse audiences. I have over four years of experience teaching and tutoring students at all levels, and I continue to co-supervise two MSc and two PhD students through their studies on varied topics in Biology. I would be happy to help students at any level, however I have a particularly deep understanding of the university/higher-academic environment and can help prospective students with their personal statements, and interviews for course entry. I have also published over 24 academic papers in high-impact journals (e.g. The Lancet Microbe) and can therefore assist students in drafting, writing and editing scientific manuscripts. I engage with students' unique learning styles to find out how best they like to learn and progress, i.e. whether they are a visual, kinetic, aural, reading/writing learner or a combination of many. After assessing learning style, I tailor my lessons for each student individually, working through the subject content they want to cover with case studies, practice questions and contemporary examples of the topic, e.g. via news articles or media. My lessons are typically 1 hour in length but can be longer if required. I am qualified to a doctorate level in Biology and have also completed a masters and undergraduate course (with honours). I can adapt my lessons for all ages and levels, including preparation for GCSE-level qualifications, undergraduate studies as well as higher-level MSc and PhD courses.

Lucas is one of my PhD supervisors at the University of Melbourne. He was the first person to train me in molecular diagnostics and bioinformatics when I started my PhD with almost no experience in these fields. He patiently guided me from fundamental concepts to advanced techniques, covering both theory and hands-on laboratory work. His teaching is gentle, exceptionally clear, and always well paced, making complex topics easy to understand. As an international student, I particularly appreciate his patience and ability to explain things clearly. Lucas also provides excellent feedback on my scientific writing, improving not only grammar and flow but also scientific content, clarity, and concision. He is supportive, responsible, approachable, and always willing to help. I strongly recommend Lucas for biology, bioinformatics, molecular diagnostics, and scientific writing at any levels. He will go above and beyond to help you learn and improve! ^^

I highly recommend Lucas as a Biology tutor. I have had the opportunity to learn from Lucas firsthand in a research laboratory, and I have also worked with him troubleshooting and on scientific manuscripts, so I can confidently say that he is an excellent teacher, communicator, scientist, and all round individual! Lucas has a wonderful ability to explain complex concepts clearly and logically, while adapting his explanations to the level and needs of the person he is teaching. He is patient, approachable and genuinely interested in helping others understand the material, rather than simply providing them with an answer. His broad expertise across various biological and molecular domains as well as modern omics technologies means that he brings a very strong depth of knowledge to his teaching. If you are looking for a tutor who combines extensive research experience with a genuine passion for teaching, Lucas is an excellent choice for students at any level.
