Evgenia Propistsova

Hello! My name is Evgenia, and I am a biologist, researcher and teacher. I have been passionate about Biology since I was 14, and for me science is much more than a school subject: it is a way of thinking, asking questions and understanding how the world works.

I enjoy teaching because I like seeing students move from “I have to memorise this” to “I understand how this works”. My approach is based on understanding biological principles rather than memorising isolated facts. I try to explain complex concepts clearly and step by step, while keeping the scientific depth of the subject.

I am a patient and attentive teacher, and I believe that a good relationship with a student is an important part of successful learning. I start by finding out what the student already knows, what they find difficult and, importantly, what they are interested in. I then adapt the lessons to their level, goals and interests.

I enjoy working with curious students who want to understand not only what happens in Biology, but also why and how it happens. I work with school and university students, including students preparing for exams and Biology Olympiads.

I teach Biology in both English and Russian.
