About Catherine

With over 15 years of experience tutoring students from high school through university, I have developed strong expertise in conveying complex concepts and effective learning strategies. I spent five years as a Teaching Associate at the University of Toronto, followed by two years as a guest lecturer. I hold a BSc in Biochemistry and Neuroscience and a PhD in Cell and Systems Biology—both from the University of Toronto—and completed postdoctoral research in the Department of Genetics and Genome Biology at SickKids Hospital. Additionally, I have five years of industry experience managing operations in an analytical chemistry laboratory.

About the lesson

As a tutor, I take a student-centered, results-driven approach tailored to individual learning styles and academic goals. My methodology combines structured lesson planning with adaptive teaching techniques to build both subject mastery and long-term learning confidence. I focus on conceptual clarity, step-by-step problem-solving, and applied understanding. I use visual aids, real-world analogies, and practice-based reinforcement to deepen retention. Typical Lesson Plan: A brief review of previous content or homework Introduction of new concepts with guided instruction Interactive problem-solving or application-based exercises Immediate feedback and discussion to address gaps or misconceptions A brief recap and assignment of targeted practice tasks Lessons are customized based on the student's curriculum, exam schedule, and performance metrics. What Sets Me Apart: My strength lies in my ability to demystify complex concepts and adjust delivery to match the learner’s pace and background. With a strong academic foundation in the sciences and experience mentoring diverse learners, I bring both technical expertise and empathetic communication. I also coach students on study strategies, test-taking techniques, and scientific writing when relevant.
