About Praveena
I hold a Master's degree in Biology with over 9 years of combined experience in research, biopharma industry, and teaching. My journey has taken me from laboratory R&D to mentoring students at different academic levels, which has given me a unique perspective on how biology connects theory to real-world applications. As a tutor, I focus on creating a supportive, structured, and engaging learning environment. I understand that every student learns differently, so I adapt my teaching style - whether that means simplifying complex topics for younger learners, strengthening exam preparation for high school students, or offering advanced insights and career guidance to university graduates. My goal is not only to help students master biology concepts but also to inspire curiosity, critical thinking, and confidence. I take pride in being approachable, patient, and professional, ensuring that students feel comfortable asking questions and motivated to achieve their best. With a strong foundation in science and practical industry experience, I bring both academic credibility and real-world knowledge into every lesson. Students can feel assured that they are learning from someone who has lived and worked in the field, and who is committed to their success.

I believe biology is best understood when it’s connected to real-life examples. My approach combines concept simplification, visual aids (diagrams, flowcharts, case studies), and interactive discussions. I encourage active learning by asking guiding questions instead of rote memorization, ensuring students truly grasp the “why” behind the concepts.
My Typical Lesson Plan:
1) Warm-up & recap – a quick review of previous concepts to build continuity.
2) Core concept breakdown – explaining new topics with real-world applications from research and industry.
3) Interactive practice – problem-solving, quizzes, or diagram-based exercises.
4) Summary & Q&A – reinforcing key points and addressing doubts before moving forward.
5) Take-home tasks – practice questions or simple research prompts to encourage independent thinking.
Who My Lessons Are For:
1) Primary school students- making biology fun, visual, and curiosity-driven through stories and activities.
2) High school students (Grades 9–12) who want clarity in core biology concepts and exam preparation.
3) Undergraduate students in life sciences looking for deeper understanding and study support.
4) Post-college learners & graduates – offering career counselling, mentorship, and guidance on pathways in biotech, pharma, and research industries.
