I have extensive experience teaching and tutoring Biology across various international curricula, including IB, IGCSE, A Level, and AP. In addition to my teaching roles, I am an Examiner for the IB. I examine both Paper 2 and Internal Assessments for the Environmental Systems and Societies course. This experience has given me a unique insight into what examiners are looking for. Most importantly I incorporate this knowledge into my tutoring sessions to help students increase their scores. My teaching philosophy has always centred on making Biology and Science not only accessible but also enjoyable. Therefore fostering curiosity and encouraging students to develop a deep appreciation for the subject.

I hold a master's in Biology Education and over 15 years' experience teaching. My journey has taken me to schools in the United States and Turkey, where I have taught in both classroom settings and as a private tutor. As a Biology teacher and Head of the Science Department, I developed a deep understanding of how to tailor my teaching approach to meet the diverse needs of students, ensuring they grasp complex concepts through engaging methods like hands-on experiments and real-world applications. My tutoring approach is highly personalized, utilizing innovative teaching techniques, interactive tools, and consistent progress tracking to ensure that each student can achieve their academic goals. Whether in a classroom setting or one-on-one, my focus remains on building students’ confidence, deepening their understanding, and making biology a subject they truly enjoy.
