About Me
I am a multifaceted and friendly educator currently studying for a BSc Biosciences. In addition to this I am studying for a Level 5 Diploma in Education & Training. I have three years of tutoring experience. I have received excellent feedback within my work in tutoring and have always delivered teaching that is friendly, individualised and personalised to the specific needs of each student that I teach.My programme of study enables me to teach a broad subject base within human biology whilst the Diploma in Education and Training has developed skills within assessing and preparing materials to support students with credence given to the theories and practices within Further and Higher Education.
I am currently finishing the second year of my BSc (Hons) Biosciences course which suits me to teach GCSE, iGCSE and A Level Biology and Chemistry. The focus in my role as an educator is to provide students the opportunity to excel within their programme of study and enable them to develop their knowledge base to increase educational attainment.
This course curriculum focuses on the development of English communication and comprehension who don't natively speak English. There is an emphasis placed within spelling, reading, writing, and vocabulary.
Your course covers the foundations of the subject and you will have the opportunity to assess your learning and development and will receive full support whenever necessary. Worksheets and tests are used within this course to help your language development.

Tutoring in maths, biology and chemistry - Middle school/ High schoolI have a Master's degree in Life Sciences Engineering from EPFL, after obtaining my Bachelor's degree in Life Sciences Engineering from EPFL with an overall average of plus 5/6. I offer one-to-one tuition or tutoring in maths, biology and chemistry from secondary school level to high school (maturité). I can also help with the preparation of marked assignments/tests.
These are subjects that I work on a daily basis, in which I have always had excellent results, and in which I am used to helping students in difficulty.
I base my teaching mainly on solving exercises progressively, to understand where the difficulties come from and to be able to work on them. This also helps to establish an excellent understanding of the theory as well as a very good repertoire of ‘typical’ exercises, which are often required for graded homework.
I'm a good listener and I adapt to the student in order to understand their perspective. This allows me to approach problems from an angle that suits the student better. A more intuitive understanding of the theory, combined with a gradual and regular approach to exercises, gives students self-confidence and enables them to really improve in the long term!
I'm very comfortable using webcam so I offer this support online! I use Zoom and a tablet which allows me to write and present the lessons directly on the student's screen.

IB Biology SL tutoring for those in need of extra support with anything biology-related, whether it's to do with anatomy or plants!I completed Biology HL in IB with a 6 overall. I am now studying it at the university level and am ready to help students struggling with IB Biology SL. I am familiar with the syllabus and can help students break down complex topics into simpler concepts that are easy to digest.
We will begin with a lesson in order to get to know each other and see whether our goals align. We will discuss what exactly you need help with and make a weekly tutoring schedule. At the end of every class I expect students to let me know what they need help with next time or tell me 3 days before the next lesson at the latest. This ensures each class makes the most of our time together. At the beginning of the next lesson we will do a few practice questions to revise out previous class and continue with the next desired topic.
I am looking for students who are open to receiving constructive criticism. I promise I will approach all of our lessons with patience, kindness, motivation and support!
