College Application Mentor & Science Educator

I help high school students turn their passion for science into compelling college applications — and into genuine scientific experience.

With over ten years of experience teaching A-Level Chemistry and Biology, I understand exactly what it takes to build a strong academic foundation in the sciences. But getting into a top programme requires more than good grades. It requires a story — and I help students tell theirs.

I specialise in guiding students who are drawn to fields like Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biomedical Science, and Medicinal Chemistry. For these students, I offer:

  • Application Strategy — Crafting a focused, authentic narrative that aligns your academic interests, extracurriculars, and goals into a cohesive application that stands out to admissions committees.

  • Research Project Design & Mentorship — I design hands-on science projects tailored to each student’s area of interest, then guide them through the process of completing real investigative work. These projects give students genuine first-hand experience in their intended field — the kind of depth that transforms a personal statement from generic to unforgettable.

Whether you are aiming for a competitive university programme in the sciences or simply trying to figure out where your interests can take you, I am here to help you build the foundation — academically, strategically, and practically.

Feel free to reach out at chensimichelle@gmail.com — I look forward to working with you.
