My Lessons & Teaching Style

My lessons are interactive, personalised, and focused on building both understanding and exam confidence. I adapt my teaching style to each student, starting with identifying strengths and areas to improve. Lessons typically combine clear explanations of concepts, active problem-solving, and exam-style practice to ensure knowledge is applied effectively.

I break down complex Biology topics into simple, memorable steps, and use diagrams, real-world examples, and past paper questions to make learning engaging and effective. Regular feedback and mini-assessments help track progress and boost confidence.

With my experience mentoring IB students, strong academic background (IB 7 in Biology, IGCSE double A* in Science, now studying at UCL), and passion for teaching, I aim to create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and motivated to achieve their best.
