About Mel
I am American, living in India most of the year. Phone number is Indian +91 (concealed information) Video calls preferred.
I am a Neuroscientist turned holistic instructor, focusing on the link between learning and cognition and physical activity. I have taught youth and college students for eight years, everything from neuroscience to yoga. Most comfortable tutoring anything to do with Biology/Psychology, Math (algebra, trig, calc), or Physics.
BA Boston University - Marine Biology & Psychology - 2002
PhD Boston University - Neuroscience - 2010 Five years teaching experience during PhD
Erasmus Medical Centre (2010-2015) - postdoc and med school instructor on visual neuroscience (in English and in Dutch)
Tapasya yoga - 200 hour Yoga TTC - 2018
Movement Ashram - Founder, 2018
Many workshops and courses (linking cognition and learning to movement) - Instagram @movement_ashram @drmelbatson
(concealed information)
I use a relative and holistic approach to teaching. I try to make the subject matter more applicable to your life and your interests to make learning easier and more enjoyable for you. I will figure out the best way for YOU to learn what you need to learn; it will be fun and you will do great! And when you do great, it makes me happy :)
I think I've always been a teacher at heart. I used to take the neighborhood kids on "nature walks" through the small bit of forest behind my house, I have been teaching sports since I was a teenager - tennis, swimming - , and I am sure I helped some friends study in high schoool and college. I never actually taught 'book-smarts' until Graduate school. And after my first TA position I asked for feedback from my students; many of whom told me they could never understand the professor and would have failed the course if not for me - aaaaand I was hooked!
I have a BA in (Marine) Biology & Psychology and a PhD in Neuroscience. I was a teaching assistant (neuroscience/neuropsychology) for five years during graduate school and taught med school students (Erasmus) for three years during my post-doctoral work.
I am constantly explaining the scientific basis of energy, healing, and yoga to non-scientists; and then also relating this back to neuroscience.
I have created an online course (Movement and Cognition) for the same.

Find a match. If you are not understanding the tutor/teacher and the teacher is simply repeating themselves in the same exact way with the same exact words, they are not trying to reach YOU. Find someone who understands how to teach YOU. That is the point of a personal tutor.
Energy balance workshop at Jataka flow festival because it was right before covid and now meeting students two years later they are still remembering almost everything I taught them! In only one session!
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Why am I having trouble understanding this?
What is my motivation to learn this?
How can I apply this knowledge to my own life/what more can I do once I learn this?
