創造性和創新思維的要素

Hello dear students and parents, thank you for visiting my profile. I am a coach, an educator, and a biomedical science researcher. I enjoy teaching different areas of the scientific field, in particular biology, chemistry, physics, and how science connects the world around us in so many ways that are sometimes unimaginable. I always encourage learners to get excited about learning new concepts and to apply them in different settings. I have taught classes on entrepreneurship, biology, chemistry, physics, healthcare-related courses, biomedical sciences, anatomy & physiology (A&P), diseases, AP, SAT, MCAT, and psychology. I also enjoy hosting classes that my students request. 

The world is vast, and I believe the young generation should be allowed to experience different aspects of this amazing world. Triggering interest, expanding their knowledge, and supporting & inspiring the learners are my main goals. 

I have an extensive academic background, with MS. And Ph.D. degrees in biological sciences from Canada and PDF training in the USA in molecular and cancer biology. I have had bioinformatics and biomedical training, and postdoctoral and work experience at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center (CHMC), LSU Health Science Center (LSUHSC), and Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center. I have experience as a coach, tutor, and academic faculty and besides, previously worked in industrial and medical settings. 

As part of my teaching philosophy, I have tried to encourage learners to be independent thinkers and to find connections in life and ideas. This will help them stay excited about learning and be a lifelong learner. Let me take your loved ones on this educational journey. My courses are designed to be relevant, highly informative, and aimed to inspire and gain the interests of the age groups they are made for. I am extremely excited to have this opportunity to teach your youngsters on this platform, which can unite people from all over the globe, with the same interests. I usually begin class by asking what they know about that particular topic, what they would like to know, and finally, what they have learned that they did not know before that class.

I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. My passions are reading, research, activism, and education. My hobbies include painting, skiing, road biking, fishing, and traveling to exciting destinations.

CLASS SIZE

I wish my classes to have a maximum of 7 learners (minimum of 2). From my experience, these are good combinations to ensure the best learning experience for your learner. Nevertheless, I never cancel any class with just one learner or selected at a specific time (e.g. Europe, South Asia,...etc) based on a learner's availability. 

CLASS RULES

. Be on time for your classes as classes are relatively short (50-60 min) and specifically there’s a lot of material to be covered for AP classes. Starting on time not only shows respect for your teacher and classmates but also allows more time to ask questions on more complicated subjects. Based on Outschool policy educator may leave after ten minutes if no learner shows up for the class. There would be no makeup class for missed sessions.

. Create a quiet and comfortable study space during your classes. Find a location that is free from any distractions, pets, background noises, or cell phones.

. Be prepared for your classes. You should come to class with the syllabi and writing material you’ll need to fully participate in the lesson. Assignments that were scheduled for each lesson should be completed and submitted before the next class.

. You should not eat during your classes. Occasional drinking is no problem. You shouldn’t engage in activities that don’t contribute to the lesson including eating. 

. Be respectful toward your teacher and your classmates.  Refrain from using virtual wallpaper or background that is not appropriate. Class environments consist of people from all walks of life. Learn from listening to your educator and others and try to understand them.

. Grades and certificates (need to be approved by Outschool) will be available based on your request. Be advised that a complete full name and address can not be put on the certificate based on the platform policy.

I look forward to meeting you in my class!
Best wishes,
A.Mallakin
