I am a warranted Biology educator with over 19 years of experience teaching and tutoring Biology at secondary, intermediate, and advanced levels. I began offering private tuition in 2007—what is now known as BiologyMalta—and formally entered the education profession in 2012 at the Archbishop’s Seminary.

My academic background combines classroom teaching with scientific research. I completed my Advanced Matriculation in Biology and Chemistry, with Physics at Intermediate Level, before graduating with First Class Honours in a Bachelor of Education (Biological Sciences) in 2012. Throughout the years, I acquired working experience in advanced level practical report moderation, ESD, vocation educational and syllabus authoring. Between 2022 and 2024, I completed a Master of Science in Bioinformatics, awarded with Distinction.

Between April and September 2025, I was employed as a Research Support Officer II within the Department of Applied Biomedical Sciences at the University of Malta, where I worked on bioinformatics research related to RNA editing in immune cells. In September 2025, I was appointed Biology Lecturer at Junior College, a role I currently hold.

Over the years, I have supported a wide range of students, from school candidates to mature private candidates in preparation for exams and university entry assessments. Many of my students have progressed to medical school, nursing, biomedical sciences, pharmacology, veterinary medicine and psychology. My teaching approach emphasises conceptual understanding, clarity, and exam readiness, while fostering confidence and independent learning.

My research experience continues to inform my teaching practice. My undergraduate dissertation explored language use and code-switching in science classrooms, leading to my first peer-reviewed publication in 2017. My Master’s research focused on RNA editing in immune cells during pneumonia, contributing to our understanding of immune regulation during infection. In September 2025, I presented this work at the European Shock Society’s 21st Congress in Dubrovnik, Croatia, where I was nominated for the European New Investigator Award Competition and received a Travel Award for Junior Investigators.

From the early days of sharing my services through a Facebook page—originally Jordan Mifsud Biology and Chemistry—to the growth of BiologyMalta today, my goal has remained the same: to provide high-quality, tailored Biology education that helps every student reach their full potential.
