I’ve taught IGCSE Biology for ten years, including several years in secondary classrooms. Genetics is the topic I most enjoy because it brings together diagrams, probability and biological reasoning. I ask plenty of questions during lessons rather than waiting until the end to check understanding. When exams are approaching, we work through unfamiliar data and past-paper questions, paying close attention to command words and scientific terminology.

Hi! I’m a Biology tutor with five years of experience working one-to-one with IGCSE students. My biomedical background means I’m particularly fond of human physiology, especially circulation and immunity. I draw a lot during lessons and encourage students to add labels or finish diagrams themselves. Once a process makes sense, we put the notes aside and try explaining it from memory before moving onto an exam question.

My route into tutoring came through biochemistry and laboratory research. I’ve now spent seven years teaching IGCSE Biology privately, with a particular interest in cells, enzymes and molecular biology. Practical questions feature regularly in my sessions because they test more than simple recall. We look at variables, results tables and experimental limitations carefully, then practise writing concise answers that use the terminology examiners expect.

Before teaching full time, I studied environmental science and worked on conservation projects. That background still comes out when I teach IGCSE ecology, which is easily my favourite part of the course. I’ve tutored for six years and like using real examples when discussing food webs, populations and human impacts. Lessons aren’t just discussion though; students regularly interpret graphs and unfamiliar data because those questions need practice.

I’m a qualified science teacher with more than ten years of experience and have worked extensively with IGCSE Biology students. A large part of my tuition focuses on applying knowledge when the question looks unfamiliar. I use short diagnostic tasks to identify gaps, then revisit them through diagrams, explanations and exam questions. Plant biology is a particular interest of mine, especially transport, photosynthesis and experimental work.

Medicine was what first drew me towards Biology, and I started tutoring while completing my studies. Eight years later, I still particularly enjoy teaching the human side of IGCSE Biology: respiration, homeostasis and the nervous system. My sessions are fairly conversational, but students do plenty of the explaining. If an answer is vague, I’ll usually ask another question rather than supply the missing word. That makes it much easier to see what has actually been understood.
