I'm Diego and I'm a passionate science educator. I love teaching Biology to my students and to turn the difficult information into a genuine knowledge.
I've been teaching Biology since 2008. I tutor students and prepare for different Biology exams: (I)GCSE, A-levels, International Baccalaureate (IB), AP Biology, SAT, ACT, ATAR and others.
I am also a science tutor at school where I assist students with their scientific research (research question, experimental design, statistics and data analysis).
I have an important experience in the field of education and science communication. My academic training has allowed me to develop my communication, teaching and teamwork skills.
