About Valentina
I am a laboratory researcher with a Ph.D. in molecular and cellular biology. I have been working and teaching students in academia for 12 years in the UK. I can help you to unravel the mystic world of science, helping you with biology, biotechnology, genetic engineering, biochemistry, genetics, cell biology, human physiology, microbiology class, and also with laboratory dissertations and laboratory techniques, PowerPoint presentations, and more.
I know how hard college (university) can be, sometimes can be overwhelming with lots of pressure and an extra help will, definitely, make the difference. I am here to help you, to explain the topics that you find more challenging and to give you the confidence that will allow you to give your best on the exam.

I like to personalize my class every time for specific needs, so I will ask you what your goals are, and what you find difficult. I will help you develop a perfect plan that will allow you to learn effectively and quickly in accordance with your level and pace.
I noticed that my students particularly appreciate the way I always find practical, real-life examples to explain the reasons why some theories, phenomena, and techniques in laboratory work because as we know, it is always easier to memorize something when put into a real case scenario.
I usually prepare PowerPoint slides for the lesson which I give to each student in pdf at the end of the class and I provide tests, quiz material for practising a “mock Exam” and many videos about different topics.
I want to pass to you my enthusiasm, my excitement, and energy about science, my aim is to encourage and motivate students and to make a positive impact on students’ lives.

Valentina has been tutoring me in biology and chemistry for almost two years now and we meet regularly once or twice a week. She's very knowledgeable and thorough in her explanations, she also checks in with me throughout the lesson to make sure I understand. Outside of lesson time she also sends me homework assignments to complete so that I can solidify my learning. I would recommend working with Valentina to any student who is committed to their learning!
Valentina is very passionate about her subjects and her enthusiasm is of extreme help when learning complex topics. She is very professional, kind and a very good tutor!
I worked with Valentina when I was working on my PhD. She is very experienced in molecular biology and taught me a lot. Besides being a great teacher she is super fun, friendly and I could approach her with any questions big or small about science!
I'm director of the Biological Sciences programme of the University of Surrey (UK) and Valentina has worked with me for several years, teaching students in many fields of biology. She is extremely competent and able to explain concepts very clearly, she cares about her students and she has a very engaging way of teaching.
Valentina Iadevaia has worked as a research fellow at University of Surrey in my team from 2018 to 2021. During this time and in addition to her research duties Valentina has been involved in many teaching activities around biology and molecular biology. Valentina has taught practical aspects of molecular biology to several undergraduate (B.Sc) and postgraduate (M.Sc) sharing her knowledge and mentoring these students during their internship within our team. In addition, Valentina has been involved in running large classes in synergy with academics at the University of Surrey covering theoretical and practical aspects of biology and molecular biology. Students thoroughly enjoyed Valentina's enthusiasm and approach to teaching based on constructive comments and positive reinforcement of the intended learning outcomes. All classes were very well received.
