Tutoring Experience

I have over 15 years of experience teaching IB Biology SL/HL and guiding students through the IA and EE processes, from topic selection to final submission. My expertise includes teaching secondary and postsecondary Biology at international schools across Europe and South America. I’ve also written A-Level and IB Biology course content, study guides, and assessments for online international schools and tutoring companies.

Many of my students have achieved outstanding results in IB Biology and secured admissions to their target universities in Europe and the US. Additionally, my professional background in clinical healthcare provides real-world applications to Biology concepts, enhancing students' understanding of the subject.

Tutoring Approach

I employ tailored strategies to build confidence and independent learning skills in IB Biology students. My lessons focus on mastering syllabus content, interpreting assessment criteria, and creating effective study plans. I guide students in developing research skills for their IA and EE, while also fostering exam readiness through targeted practice.

By blending positivity, humour, and structured learning, I aim to make Biology engaging and achievable. My students consistently improve academically and gain a deeper understanding of themselves as learners, enabling them to excel in both coursework and exams.
