Tutoring Experience

I have taught AP Biology extensively at the secondary and postsecondary levels, alongside other biology-related courses, including IB Biology SL/HL, Environmental Science, and A-Level Biology. My expertise lies in preparing students for AP Biology exams, with a focus on mastering laboratory work, data analysis, and understanding core concepts.

In addition to teaching, I have written study guides for biology curricula, including AP and IB programs, and developed content for online international schools. These resources have supported students globally in their academic success.

For the IB program, I have guided students through Biology IA and EE processes, ensuring their work meets assessment criteria. Many of my students have achieved their target scores and advanced to top universities worldwide.

Before transitioning to teaching, I gained six years of experience in clinical settings, which enhances my ability to connect biological concepts to real-world applications.

Tutoring Approach

My approach to AP Biology focuses on developing a deep understanding of biological systems through tailored lesson plans, practical problem sets, and structured study strategies. I assess each student’s strengths and challenges to build confidence and foster independent learning.

With my classroom experience, I provide insights into the AP Biology exam structure and grading rubrics, ensuring students are well-prepared. I also integrate real-life examples from my clinical background to enrich their learning. Above all, I strive to create a positive, motivating environment where students can thrive and excel in their academic journey.
