Vetted Tutor

Personally Interviewed

Our tutors go through a rigorous selection process, having been interviewed to assess their teaching skills and subject knowledge. They have extensive tutoring experience with a track record of success, helping students achieve their academic goals.

Tutoring Experience

Over the last six years, I have tutored students in IB and IGCSE Biology in over 200 hours of classes. My students have consistently improved their grades, appreciating my innovative teaching methods. I have a knack for establishing a rapport with students and parents, making their feedback invaluable for improving my teaching style. I've also tutored undergraduate biology students, and have taught scientific methodologies to high school students through a summer enrichment program in Hong Kong.

Tutoring Approach

My tutoring approach hinges on kindling curiosity and fostering a deeper understanding of biological concepts. For exam-focused tuition, I guide students through past paper questions, ensuring they understand the underlying biological principles. I encourage them to formulate answers in their own words, reinforcing understanding over memorization. I give comprehensive feedback on their independent work, focusing on areas for improvement.

For IB Biology IAs, I offer guidance on structuring their work, providing detailed feedback and assistance with crafting scientifically sound arguments. My aim is to demystify the subject, rendering even complex biological mechanisms approachable and interesting.
