About Martyna
As an experienced Biology Olympiad tutor, I understand that excelling in competitive exams requires not only a solid grasp of biological concepts but also the ability to think critically under pressure. My teaching approach is tailored to help students develop a deep understanding of the subject, master exam strategies, and build the confidence necessary to succeed. With several years of experience tutoring students from diverse backgrounds, I’ve helped many achieve their goals, including advancing to the semifinals and beyond in the Biology Olympiad. My lessons are engaging, interactive, and personalised to each student’s unique learning style. I specialise in simplifying complex topics like genetics, biochemistry, and physiology, making them easy to understand and apply. I pride myself on my professionalism and commitment to student success. My lessons are structured, clear, and designed to track progress effectively, ensuring that students stay on top of their preparation. Whether you’re a beginner looking to build a strong foundation or an advanced student aiming to tackle high-level problems, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

My approach to tutoring is student-centred, focusing on understanding individual learning styles and tailoring the lessons accordingly. I emphasise building a strong foundation in biology concepts, with a particular focus on problem-solving, critical thinking, and exam strategies. Key aspects of my methodology include:
- Interactive Lessons: I use visuals, diagrams, and animations to explain complex concepts like genetics, biochemistry, and physiology.
- Practice-Based Learning: I provide a variety of practice questions, past Biology Olympiad paper question examples, and case studies to reinforce theoretical understanding.
- Active Recall & Repetition: In the class, you will be talking 90% of the time and answering my questions. I will help you learn to USE your material rather than just memorise it.
- Progress Tracking: I use tools like spreadsheets to track student progress, assignments, and areas needing improvement. 2. Typical Length of a Lesson A typical lesson lasts 1 to 1.5 hours. This duration ensures there is enough time for:
- Reviewing previously covered material. - Explaining new concepts. - Practising questions and discussing answers. - Answering student queries and clarifying doubts. For intensive preparation closer to competitions, I may offer extended sessions of up to 2 hours with breaks.
My lessons are tailored for high school students preparing for regional, national, and international Biology Olympiads. Typically, students are aged 14–18 years, though I welcome younger students with a strong interest in biology. My lessons cater to both beginners looking to build their foundational knowledge and advanced students aiming to master complex topics for competitive exams.
I hold a strong academic foundation in biology and related disciplines, having studied advanced-level biology topics extensively.

My daughter has been working on USABO for a few years and was qualified as semifinalist last year. We looked around for prep courses and took a few. I really feel, Biolympiads has the most comprehensive content, and Martyna, the owner is a very knowledgeable person, and she teaches well.
Martyna is also very diligent and responsible. My daughter did a set of previous exam, and had many questions in that set just a day before the open exam. We contacted Martyna. Even with the time zone difference, she was able to help us with such a quick turnaround.
She is absolutely impressive.
I really recommend this Martyna if you child is serious about the USABO.My daughter and I found Martyna in the fall in her 9th grade. Since it was very late, we asked for Martyna’s private class from the beginning and later she participated in some camps. Martyna’s immense passion in Biology and incredibly abundant knowledge really inspired my daughter and got her motivated. Martyna made a tailored schedule and provided various materials as needed. My daughter had worked so hard and Martyna was always flexible for her asking. As a result she easily passed the Open Exam and at the Semi Finals her score was extremely close to National Finalist cutoff the first year. We know without her it could not be happened and we sincerely appreciate all her dedication.
Ms. Martyna is a phenomenal tutor; she is able to help students understand the concepts very well and also has numerous mnemonics and other tricks. She is also patient and willing to answer students' questions extremely thoroughly - and she always frames her answers in a way that students can easily understand. Thank you!
