Personally Interviewed

Our tutors go through a rigorous selection process, having been interviewed to assess their teaching skills and subject knowledge. They have extensive tutoring experience with a track record of success, helping students achieve their academic goals.

Tutoring Experience

Over the past 9 years, I've tutored students for both the IB and A-level Biology exams. My background in molecular research has allowed me to provide students with a unique perspective on the subject. I have assisted students in enhancing their lab skills, report writing, and ensuring they stay ahead of their curriculum. My students have consistently achieved top grades, and many have gone on to pursue biology in higher education, attributing their success to the rich learning experience I offer.

Tutoring Approach

I always start with understanding the student's needs and existing knowledge. I integrate real-life research examples into lessons to illustrate concepts, making them more tangible. Through open discussions, we explore various biological phenomena, fostering an environment of curiosity. I firmly believe in an interactive teaching methodology; therefore, I use multimedia resources, diagrams, and hands-on activities. Outside our sessions, I provide additional resources and expect students to engage in self-study, ensuring we can address any challenges in our next lesson.
