About
I hold a PhD in biomedical science and currently work as a research scientist in a laboratory setting. My academic background is strongly focused on biology, and I use my real-world research experience to help students understand how scientific theory is applied in practice.
I have several years of experience teaching and mentoring university students and enjoy working one-on-one to help learners break down complex biological concepts into clear, manageable ideas. I focus on building strong foundational understanding, improving exam technique, and developing confidence in problem-solving rather than rote memorisation.
My teaching style is structured, supportive, and tailored to each student’s needs. I adapt explanations to suit different learning styles and place strong emphasis on understanding key concepts, answering exam-style questions, and developing effective study strategies.
I am particularly well suited to students studying senior high school biology who want clear explanations, real-life scientific context, and guidance from someone actively working in the field.

Education
I hold a PhD in biomedical science and have many years of experience teaching and mentoring students at university level. I specialise in biology and work actively in a research laboratory, which allows me to connect theory to real-world scientific applications. I enjoy helping students understand complex concepts, improve their grades, and build confidence, with a focus on clear explanations, exam strategies, and strong foundational knowledge.
Reviews
I have recently had tutoring sessions with Dr Dee, and they have been very helpful and informative. As she has personal experience with the content I am learning, she knows what she is talking about and ensures sure you understand the content properly before moving on to other topics. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for thorough and high quality Biology tutoring, especially for VCE.

We are so grateful to have found Donia to support our daughter in Year 12 Biology. Since working with her, Isabel’s confidence has grown significantly, and her grades have improved as a result.
Donia has a calm, supportive, and well-structured approach to teaching. She makes each topic engaging and relatable, often connecting the material to real-world applications and her own exciting work in medical research. This has not only deepened Isabel’s understanding but also inspired her.
We highly recommend Donia to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, encouraging, and truly inspiring tutor.
