I will provide lessons tailored to individual needs.

Advert description
Build on students’ prior knowledge & curiosity I begin lessons by finding out what students already know, what misconceptions they might have, and what questions they have. This helps me connect new content to their experience and spark their interest. Inquiry-based and hands-on learning I design experiments, investigations, or projects where students ask their own questions, test hypotheses, gather data, and draw conclusions. Doing science rather than just hearing about it helps deepen understanding. Use demonstrations, models & visual aids Where possible, I demonstrate processes in class (for example chemical reactions, physical phenomena) and use models to illustrate key ideas. Visual representation and simulations help make abstract ideas more concrete. Relate science to real-world contexts I try to show how science is relevant to everyday life—environmental issues, health, technology, etc. This relevance motivates students and helps them see the purpose behind what they’re learning.
Raja in a nutshell
I’ve had experience teaching biology in both laboratory and classroom settings, with students at different levels (e.g., secondary, GCSE / A-level equivalents). I’ve seen that using the 5E model (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate) helps structure lessons so that learning builds logically and students stay involved. I also use flipped/blended learning where appropriate: giving preparat...
I’ve had experience teaching biology in both laboratory and classroom settings, with students at different levels (e.g., secondary, GCSE / A-level equivalents). I’ve seen that using the 5E model (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate) helps structure lessons so that learning builds logically and students stay involved. I also use flipped/blended learning where appropriate: giving preparatory materials (videos, reading, worksheets) so class time can focus on application, investigation, and deeper understanding. There is good evidence that this improves learning outcomes. My Biology Lessons Are Like

Structured & Clear Learning Objectives
Every class begins with a clear goal: what we’ll learn that day, what skills you’ll develop, and how the topic connects to what you already know. This helps you follow along with the purpose.

Engaging Starter Hook
I like to open lessons with something that draws you in — a question, a short video, a real-world scenario, or a problem to solve. For example, if we’re going into ecosystems, maybe we’ll start by looking at how local pollution has affected a river. This activates your curiosity and prior knowledge.

Hands-On / Inquiry Activities
Instead of just lecturing, much of the lesson involves you doing things: experiments, observations under microscopes, simulations, and group activities. We explore ideas and do small investigations. This helps you understand deeply, not just memorize.
Use of Multimedia & Visuals
I use diagrams, animations, digital simulations, and virtual labs to show processes that are hard to observe directly (like cellular processes, molecular biology). These make abstract ideas more tangible.
Collaborative Learning
Many tasks are done in pairs or groups: discussion, sharing findings, peer teaching, and working through questions together. You learn both content and communication/scientific reasoning skills.
Scaffolded Explanations & Clarifications
After exploratory work, I explain formal concepts and terminology, making sure we connect back to what you experienced in the hands-on portion. I also check for misunderstandings as we go.
