About Me

Hi there,

I’m Lizzie, a biology graduate and qualified teacher with over a decade’s experience of working in education.

I believe in the importance of dialogue in teaching and learning. When taking classes with me, you can expect to be challenged with questions adapted to your level, and I hope we can engage in discussions over the topics you find most interesting or need more support with.

Having taught in one of Beijing’s top international schools for five years, I have learned to adapt my teaching style to a range of different learning needs. Whether you are looking for additional practice with foundational concepts for science study, or you hope to extend your learning with projects developed to support future school applications, I would be thrilled to help you achieve your goals.

Although I prefer classes to take place in English, I also speak basic Mandarin.

I look forward to helping you reach your educational goals.

By PROFESSOR & PROFESSIONAL COACH

Hello,

First and foremost, I would like to wish you a warm welcome back to school and a peaceful year ahead as you work towards your goals. I am aware that the economic situation can sometimes be challenging, which is why I offer my services to accompany your child throughout their academic journey with ease and serenity.

Throughout my career as a Graduate Teacher and Graduate Professional Coach, I have worked in various contexts. Until last year, I taught in front of whole classes as well as in private lessons. Since this year, I have been providing face-to-face private lessons at home and also via video conferencing, a mode of teaching that I have practiced with university students for the past ten years.

My teaching environment has undergone significant changes, especially with the emergence of the Covid pandemic. This shift has led our secondary school students to adapt to the new mode of learning and communication, namely video conferencing. Despite the success of this transition, it is important to acknowledge that our younger students still require attention and a psycho-emotional connection in order to develop their autonomy peacefully.

Over the past two decades, I have implemented proven methodological approaches, some of which are borrowed from theater techniques, such as the Davis method (mind mappings/colors), and my specialty, professional coaching, which aims to enhance your child's motivation. My main goal is to foster agility in your child across all subjects, not only for the present but also for their future when I will no longer be by their side.

Ultimately, my objective goes beyond simply focusing on gaining points in a subject. I firmly believe in this approach due to my experience as a Mental Coach working with young athletes between Nice and Cannes, as well as throughout Europe via video conferencing, as part of their preparation for the French Tennis Championships. It has reinforced my conviction that working on a subject should be a nurtured objective that encompasses personal growth and development.

As a Professor in General Education, specializing mainly in scientific subjects, I suggest supporting your child in gaining agility in constructing their academic path during this unique period that is filled with both opportunities and challenges.

Looking forward to meeting you soon,
Corinne.

I graduated with a perfect 45/45 in the IB Diploma and achieved 7/7 in both Biology HL and Chemistry HL. I also have over 3 years of teaching experience.
In this class, I’ll share the strategies, techniques, and exam approaches that helped me achieve those results.
This class is focused on more than simply reviewing the syllabus. We will focus on how to approach IB science questions, apply your knowledge effectively, maximize marks, and consistently perform at a 6–7 level.

What we will focus on:
- How to approach difficult IB-style questions
- Strategies for moving from a 5 to a 6 or from a 6 to a 7
- How to understand command terms and what questions are really asking
- How to structure answers to maximize marks
- Data analysis, graphs, calculations, and experimental questions
- Common mistakes that cost students marks
- Time management and exam strategy
- Challenging 6–7 level Biology HL and Chemistry HL questions

We will work through challenging IB-style Biology and Chemistry questions step by step, focusing not only on what the correct answer is, but why the markscheme awards marks for it and how to recognize similar questions in an exam.
Whether you are currently working toward a 6, trying to push from a 6 to a 7, or simply want to become significantly stronger in IB Biology HL or Chemistry HL, this class will give you a clear and practical strategy for maximizing your exam performance.

★ PREMIUM NATIVE ENGLISH SCIENCE TUTOR ★ Personalised science tutoring for secondary students, building strong foundations in International Baccalaureate (IB) program, UK GCSE, International GCSE (IGCSE) A-Level with targeted preparation for AQA (OxfordAQA), Cambridge (CAIE), and Edexcel exam boards.

As a registered Pharmacist and certified Public Health professional specialising in Environmental Health, I bring an established international career in health and research directly to our lessons. Alongside my professional work, I have been tutoring science since 2013 and consistently support regular international school students throughout the academic year.

I have unique first-hand experience with the IB and Cambridge international systems both as a student and as an international teacher: I completed my secondary education within the Cambridge curriculum and later taught classroom sciences at the British School in Thailand.

My teaching style is patient, highly structured, and encouraging. Because every student learns differently, I adapt each lesson to the student's age, curriculum, and individual goals. I target gaps in understanding and break difficult concepts down into logical, manageable steps rather than relying on rote memorisation.

For secondary examination-level students, I provide comprehensive, high-tier support in:
• Biology (SL/HL)
• Chemistry (SL/HL)
• Environmental Systems & Societies (ESS)
• General Science

My professional background allows me to bring practical, real-world clinical and scientific examples into lessons, making complex biochemistry and human biology highly memorable. We focus intensely on school assessments, past-paper practice, structured scientific writing, and precise exam board marking techniques.

📅 Academic term slots are limited.
