My Passion & How I Inspire

The most important thing is to know and understand the student in front of you and find the right approach to express their potential.

There is no goal that can’t be reached once you found the right way of teaching. I’m very enthusiastic and I always try to transfer my passion to my students.

Very often people fail in a subject just because they don’t like it or because they think it’s too hard and turn themselves down and that’s what I want to help them with. I try to make every subject interesting and rise my student self-esteem.

My Experience

Lectured bachelor students on human anatomy and been their tutor for the exam preparation – 2 year experience.

As part of my job I follow students in the lab and helped them writing their dissertation – 6 year experience.
