Zhanara K.

Private tutor in Hamilton, Canada

Education

I earned a 3.49 GPA while majoring in biological sciences and minoring in communication at Nazarbayev University School of Science and Technology, graduating in June 2015. During my time there, I made the dean's list in the fall of 2012, spring and fall 2013, and spring of 2014. I earned a University Preparatory certificate in biology and chemistry in 2011 from the University College London, where I completed a research project titled "Do the benefits of using stem cells in curing diseases outweigh the risks?"

Experience

My internships and work experience include a research project, "Delivery of Factory VIII gene using chitosan as a protective tool via the oral route," at Nazarbayev University, Astana, Kazakhstan. I also had summer internships at the Republican Children's Rehabilitation Center in Astana, Kazakhstan, the National research for Maternal and Child Health in Astana, Kazakhstan, the National Center for Biotechnology in Astana Kazakhstan, and the Republican Diagnostic Center in Astana, Kazakhstan. I worked as a Russian-English translator at the Korea International Medical & Hospital Equipment Show in Seoul, South Korea. I also translated scientific reports about stem cell technologies from Russian to English at the National Scientific Medical Center in Astana. I volunteered in the Emergency Medicine Department at the Republican Scientific Center for Emergency Care in Kazakhstan. I have three years of biology tutoring experience and three years of tutoring in basic Korean language concepts.

Hobbies

Do you know what it is like to see the world through the prism of biology? Every molecular mechanism has its analogy in our daily life. Have you ever imagined that doors are similar to ion-gated channels in the cell? Or that corridors look like blood vessels with people acting as cholesterol molecules? From the previous statement it can be seen, that my interest lies in biology. My father is also involved with science, and our dinner table discussions are usually about cutting-edge research. I became interested in biology in high school, and participated in local Olympiads. After public high school, I entered the Medical University in Astana, where I planned to become a doctor, as it was in my blood - my parents and grandparents are doctors. However, 22 days later I received an invitation letter to Nazarbayev University, which is the first English speaking university with international faculty in Kazakhstan. Here my scientific journey began!
