About:

I am a certified and experienced teacher of Biology since 2014 with a particular focus on IB and A Level Biology, both of which I currently teach. As an IB examiner and IA moderator for Biology since 2016, and EE Coordinator in my school, I am particularly well-equipped to guide IB students to increased success in their Internal Assessments, Extended Essays and exam preparation. My passion lies in fostering inquiry-driven learning, guiding students through independent research, and supporting them to achieve their highest academic potential. I ensure my students remain engaged, motivated, and consistently supported throughout their learning experience.

Teaching experience and approach:

I hold a Bachelor and Master of Science and began my career in Biology as a research scholar before beginning teaching in 2014. I now have a Master of Education and over a decade of teaching experience in international schools in India and Canada, where I also taught to the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), and the British Columbia (BC) Curriculum. I have held various leadership roles including Head of Department, EE Coordinator and Coordinator of the Model United Nations.

I am known for my strong subject knowledge, creativity and the strong relationships I create with my students. I draw on my IA moderator and EE Coordinator experience to ensure my students achieve the highest levels of academic rigor, ethical conduct and timely completion of their independent work. My teaching philosophy blends both student- and teacher-centered approaches, ensuring that learners have the freedom to choose their learning pathways while being guided by clear, structured instructions tailored to help them achieve their goals.

I found the staff to be considerate and responsive to our needs. We needed a specific kind of teacher and they sent us one that was better than we could have hoped for. I'm grateful and relieved!

My husband and I had the pleasure of speaking with Alex at TutorsPlus for an Educational Advisory/School Choice session. It was an invaluable conversation, that gave us great insights and perspective to inform our school choice. We have lived in Geneva for many years, but despite having a lot of input from friends & word of mouth, we found the school decisions to be challenging to navigate. This session and the perspective & insights Alex offered were absolutely invaluable. We are now confident in our school decision for our children. I would highly recommend this service to anyone! If you are musing over school options for your children - absolutely speak with TutorsPlus. Thank you Alex & the TutorsPlus team!

What can I say about TutorsPlus and the invaluable advice we received from Alex and her team. They provided honest, real and experienced advice that helped us make important educational decisions for both our girls at a critical time for our family. I can honestly say our move to Switzerland was made so much easier based on the service we received from TutorsPlus. Thank you TutorsPlus I cannot recommend you guys enough.

I used Tutors plus for my daughter who has dyslexia. I particularly like that they listened to my needs and paired her with Alan who had experience of using innovative and alternative styles of tutoring to reach her learning style. It was a personal service rather than a blanket service. I was contacted intermittently to confirm all was on track. My daughter ended up telling me that if she had had Alan as a tutor from primary she might actually be quite good at Maths! Just proves the tutor is so important.

Hello, I wanted to let you know that my son's IB results came back today and he did very well in maths. Andrea has been his tutor for the last two years, and helped bring him from an "I hate maths" perspective to one where he has been happy to engage again in a subject he used to love.

They have both been a lifesaver, boosting Eddy’s grades by a couple of IB points, which is no small feat. Both tutors are very knowledgeable and work extremely well with students. They always made an effort to be available even on very short notice. Eddy and I give them both top marks.

Great French support in the run up to my DELF exams. I'd highly recommend them for this type of work if you have exams coming up.

I noticed such an improvement in my comprehension, my approach to unfamiliar concepts and my confidence and comfort with the SL math content after only a few lessons that I really wanted to continue.
