About:
I am an experienced Science, Biology and TOK teacher with two decades of classroom experience over IB, IGCSE, and A Level curricula. I am an experienced IB examiner, specialised in Paper 2 HL and Internal Assessments, and draw on this insight to support IB students with the practical components of the Biology course, Extended Essays, Internal Assessments as well as TOK. I blend a supportive approach with structured, clear and adapted lessons that have the needs of my students at the centre. My class’s exams results are always at the top of the school in my subject.
Teaching experience and approach:
I am a PhD graduate in Palaeobiology and also hold a MSc in Biological Sciences and a PGCE in Science. I achieved Qualified Teacher’s Status in 2007 and have been in full time employment as a classroom teacher since then. My experience ranges from GCSE and iGCSE Science and Biology to IB Higher and Standard Level and A Level Biology. I have been an IB Biology teacher for 19 years, IB Coordinator for four years. I also have a decade’s experience as a TOK and CAS Coordinator. I have a very practical approach, and always accompany my explanations with practice questions. I know what is required to obtain a high grade and I apply that knowledge in my teaching.
Qualifications:
- PhD Palaeobiology
- MSc Biological Sciences
