Middle School / High School / AP, SAT, GCSE, A-Level / Undergraduate Level Biology

Biology is fascinating - we're all composed of complex molecular interactions! Why not learn more about it?

My experience in academia has shown me that we all learn differently. I prefer tailoring my teaching methods upon learning more about what works for the student.

I'm a Bachelor's degree in Neuroscience from the University of Edinburgh. I work in a research laboratory part-time and have prior experience with teaching science to children.

About Me

I teach Biology and Turkish!

I'm originally from Turkey. I have just graduated from the University of Edinburgh, to which I originally got accepted by teaching myself A-Level & AP Biology.

We all learn through different methods and at different paces. I'm very happy to take my time & make sure the student feels as comfortable as possible to ask questions.

Education

Primary to High School Education - in Turkey
FMV Erenkoy Private Science High School Graduate (Second in Class, 96%)

Undergraduate Degree - in Scotland, UK
BSc (Hons) Neuroscience Degree from The University of Edinburgh (69.4%)

Experience / Qualifications

I have prior experience with GCSE, A-Level, SAT and AP Biology curriculums. I have been involved in scientific experiment demonstrations for young pupils, so I feel comfortable teaching any age group!
I'm a Turkish bookworm that has been subjected to the in-depth curriculum of the Turkish education system for 12 years. I've been brought up by my author & Turkish literature graduate grandparents, who were ruthless when it came to Turkish grammar/spelling rules. My experience in academia has shown me that we all learn differently. I prefer tailoring my teaching methods upon learning more about what works for the student. I'm a Bachelor's degree in Neuroscience from the University of Edinburgh. I work in a research laboratory part-time and have prior experience in teaching conversational Turkish.

IB Biology SL tutoring for those in need of extra support with anything biology-related, whether it's to do with anatomy or plants!
I completed Biology HL in IB with a 6 overall. I am now studying it at the university level and am ready to help students struggling with IB Biology SL. I am familiar with the syllabus and can help students break down complex topics into simpler concepts that are easy to digest. We will begin with a lesson in order to get to know each other and see whether our goals align. We will discuss what exactly you need help with and make a weekly tutoring schedule. At the end of every class I expect students to let me know what they need help with next time or tell me 3 days before the next lesson at the latest. This ensures each class makes the most of our time together. At the beginning of the next lesson we will do a few practice questions to revise out previous class and continue with the next desired topic. I am looking for students who are open to receiving constructive criticism. I promise I will approach all of our lessons with patience, kindness, motivation and support!

Latin, Ancient Greek, and Biology tutoring classes
I have several years of experience tutoring students of different age groups in Latin and Ancient Greek. I am deeply passionate about these languages and I enjoy helping students improving at them. I believe that understanding the structure of a sentence is fundamental when approaching these languages, therefore this is an important focus for me. During the class I always dedicate some time to reasoning and translating sentences together with the student. I have a BS in pharmaceutical biotechnology and I am currently a master student in Medicine. I find biology very fascinating and I have been tutoring it for years now. Depending on the topic and the student's needs, I structure the lessons differently. I usually explain the topic and use tools such as spaced repetition, notes, conceptual maps to make sure that the student has understood.
