Tutoring Experience

Over the last 6 years, I've cultivated a rich teaching tapestry: - 4 years as an IB Biology tutor at Top Scholar Academy in Seoul, guiding over 80 students to reach their potential and exceed expectations. - Collaborated for 1 year with an IB school in Tokyo, teaching students and training other biology tutors. - Served as a mentor for 6 months at a nationwide Biology Olympiad, nurturing future biologists. - Spent 8 months as a research guide for high school students at Seoul's Biotech Hub, allowing them to experience real-world lab settings and igniting their passion for biology.

Tutoring Approach

For me, teaching Biology is about stirring curiosity. I blend rigorous exam preparation with the fascinating stories of biological discovery to make each class memorable. I prioritize hands-on experience, often incorporating experiments and practical demonstrations. By connecting theoretical concepts with their real-world applications, I ensure that students not only excel in exams but also understand the vast impact biology has on our daily lives. My lessons are punctuated with discussions, encouraging students to voice their thoughts, ask questions, and actively participate.
