I am Alex, and I am currently a biochemistry doctoral (PhD) student at the University of Oxford. I have more than 10 years of experience in private and small group teaching in Chemistry, Biology, and Mathematics. Currently at Oxford, I am teaching Biochemistry to undergraduate students in Mathematics & Statistics.

- MSc degree from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH Zürich)
- DPhil (PhD) degree from the University of Oxford [in progress]
- PhD degree from The Scripps Research Institute [in progress]

I employ an exam-focused approach that emphasizes the key learning points of the syllabus, but I try to avoid excessive memorization if possible. Additionally, I tend to provide extra knowledge to help particularly motivated students enhance their understanding. As homework, I assign ample exercises in the style of exam questions. Primarily, I teach online due to my schedule and geographical mobility. As of April 2020, I am currently located in Hong Kong and available to tutor students either at their homes or other agreed-upon locations. Read less
