I am an extroverted, warm and encouraging proactive Biotechnology student who wants to help young learners excel in Biology!

Advert description
When teaching students, I aim to adopt a structured, supportive and practical approach that reflects how I learn most effectively. I believe that students understand concepts best when theory is clearly linked to real-world application, particularly in scientific contexts. Therefore, I would prioritise explaining key concepts clearly and then reinforcing them through hands-on activities, demonstrations such as sketches/ diagrams or data-based problem-solving questions (examples from the IB or A level curriculum). I would also adapt my teaching style to different learning needs, drawing on my experience as a Kindergarten Assistant where I adjusted communication and explanations to suit different levels of understanding. This includes breaking down complex ideas into manageable steps and checking understanding regularly. As a student, I know what it feels like to work under pressure and struggle with certain tasks when they feel like a mountain of work, especially in such a memory- demanding course like Biology. This is why I have a unique approach to studying biology, consisting in breaking down each subject into multiple parts rather than approaching it as a whole concept - then tying the ideas together as you understand each part. In a laboratory or academic setting, I would emphasise active participation, encouraging students to ask questions, engage with experiments, and reflect on their results. I would also promote a supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes and learning from them. Finally, I would provide constructive feedback to help students improve, while also encouraging independence and critical thinking, which are essential skills in scientific research.
