Hi, I’m Riyami. With a B.Sc. Honors in Biomedical Science from the University of Wolverhampton, UK, and currently pursuing a Master's in Biology at City College of New York, I bring five years of dedicated experience in teaching biology. I have tutored O-level and AS/A-level students for four years and taught college-level Biology 101 as a Teaching Assistant for two years.

I specialize in supporting students across diverse biology curricula—IGCSE, GCSE, GCE, IB, AP Biology, and more advanced subjects like Cell Biology, Immunology, and Molecular Biology. My teaching philosophy centers on building a strong conceptual foundation while encouraging critical thinking, and I’m passionate about breaking down complex ideas into manageable insights. I believe in adapting to each student’s learning pace and can develop a tailored study plan to meet your unique needs. Let's make biology both understandable and enjoyable!
