Donglin

I am a dedicated and experienced biology tutor with over 15 years of professional experience in the biopharmaceutical industry and a strong academic background, including a Ph.D. in Biology. Throughout my career, I have applied biological principles in real-world research and development settings, giving me a deep understanding of both theoretical and practical aspects of the life sciences.

In addition to my industry work, I have several years of experience teaching and mentoring students at the high school and college levels. I specialize in making complex biological concepts clear, relevant, and engaging. Whether students are preparing for exams, navigating challenging coursework, or seeking enrichment beyond the classroom, I tailor my approach to fit individual learning styles. My goal is to foster curiosity, build confidence, and inspire lasting academic success through supportive and results-oriented tutoring.
