Professor of Biochemistry

Medical • Tiempo completo

Mar 2024 - Present • 2 yrs 2 mos

I am involved in teaching biochemistry to medical, dental , allied health and biology students. I deliver lectures and run interactive sessions for both undergraduates and postgraduates. I also prepare lesson plans, handouts, and visual aids for every topic that I cover. I adjust my teaching style depending on how each student can learn best. Moreover, I hold small group sessions and tutorials including one‑on‑one mentoring sessions. I also create worksheets, quizzes, assignments, and different assesments , and I grade them too. I give students honest feedback so they know how and what to improve. In addition to this, I design different curricula and mentor students working on the research projects. I also serve as an external examiner for medical board exams, which means I set papers and assess answers too

Dec 2020 - Present • 5 yrs 5 mos

I've been actively working on Upwork for the previous 5 years. During this tenure, I've guided and mentored medical students, pre‑meds, biology learners and enthusiasts understand biology and biochemistry, helped them prepare for medical school assesments and exams, and work through challenging topics like metabolism, enzyme kinetics, as well as clinical case studies. I have also guided students regarding their thesis and dissertation writing. I've also created many custom worksheets, recorded audio and video explanations and animations, designed visual study guides for clients who needed extra support.

Associate professor

Medical • Tiempo completo

Jun 2019 - Mar 2024 • 4 yrs 9 mos

I worked as an associate professor of biochemistry from 2019 to 2024. I taught medical and biology students through lectures, lab sessions, and small group discussions. I also held extra one‑on‑one sessions for students who needed more help. I wrote exam questions, graded papers, and gave students clear feedback so they knew what to improve. During this time, I also completed my PhD in clinical biochemistry. My research focused on breast cancer and oxidative stress pathways. Balancing teaching and my own studies was tough, but it made me a better teacher. I mentored students working on their research projects and helped them write up their findings. I also worked with other faculty members to improve our course content and teaching methods.
