Born in Central Asia, Bobojon moved to the UK at the age of 13. From a young age his father, a physicist, nurtured within Bobojon a love for the sciences. On arriving in the UK, despite speaking almost no English, Bobojon sat school entrance exams and scored 98% on his physics paper. It was Chemistry, however, that captured his imagination and ultimately led him to read a PhD in Chemical Biology at the University of Oxford.
As a firm believer in systems approaches, Bobojon encourages all his students to explore a broad range of subjects in order to identify their true passion. Thus, in his role as an educator, he believes in nurturing a students' budding interest to facilitate their growth.

Is your child feeling lost and unmotivated, and you are having difficulty helping them regain their passion for education or reach specific goals? If so, I can assist you in this matter because I focus on empowering students by restoring their self-confidence, uncovering their talents, and helping them take control of their path to success.
My love for the sciences was unlocked at a young age, which equipped me with various toolkits to tackle challenges beyond exams and education. I sharpened my teaching skills during my postgraduate studies at the University of Oxford; I taught subjects ranging from Economics to Natural Sciences, from prep school to postgraduate levels. This was when I began noticing how critical it was for students to have a sense of direction.
I am also the founder of a biotech company, Latus Therapeutics, which focuses on oncology and autoimmune diseases but is currently concentrating on completing the Phase 2 trials for therapeutic agents in COVID-19.
If you're interested in collaborating, please get in touch with me using the email address above. Kindly understand that I can only train a limited number of students at a time because of my work commitments and focus on achieving results. Therefore, please don't take it personally if I cannot assist you on this occasion.
