Hello, would you like to improve your math, biology, psychology or statistics scores? Or rather, are you an undergraduate student who would like to step into the world of research but does not know where to begin?

My name is Yuan, and I would like to help. I am a graduate neuroscience student at the University of Western Ontario. I earned my Bachelor of Science at King's College London, United Kingdom, with a First-Class Honour.

I am very good at helping you to make study plans & meaningful but achievable goals so that you can actually improve without procrastination. I am also good at editing academic essays, scientific blogs and other research-oriented papers.

I have extensive experience in academic research; if that's what interests you, please feel free to get in touch. I offer tailored support for you to feel confident about reaching out to potential supervisors, conducting a literature search and writing your research proposal.

Feel free to reach out, and I will respond as quickly as possible.

Best of luck with your study!
