★ Highly qualified native English tutor specializing in foundational secondary sciences: IGCSE, GCSE, O-Level, and Lower IB (MYP) Biology and Chemistry ★
Personalised science tutoring for secondary students, building strong foundations in International Baccalaureate (IB) program, UK GCSE, International GCSE (IGCSE) O-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.

Student in bioengineering, graduated in mathematical sciences. I also have a good base in languages, I can teach in Dutch as well as in French. I help the students to pass their tests and exams and I motivate them morally. I already have a lot of experience in tutoring. I had different students, of all ages. Therefore I can easily adapt my way of teaching so that the student understands the course well.
My students are comfortable with me and they clearly have better grades thanks to my help.

I’m Masters of Pharmacy in Pharmaceutics, having 4 years of teaching experience as an Assistant Professor in Bachelor of Pharmacy, in India. My mode of teaching will be in English. My teaching methodologies ensures that the fundamentals are well understood by students, which help them to comfortably evolve during their entire course.

Are you passionate about secondary science subjects (biology, chemistry) or do you dream of becoming a pharmacist and finally being able to deliver medications to your patients in the near future? I can also help you with your revisions during the blockade in different courses (general chemistry, plant and animal biology, pharmacology).
I can also support you in applying a good working and organizational method for your revision.

As a Franco-Belgian teacher, I offer private lessons in physics, chemistry and biology for secondary and higher levels. I specialize in secondary level up to 5th year Belgian.

I travel, if necessary, to your home in the Brussels region as well as in Walloon and Flemish Brabant, with a minimum course duration of 2 hours. With extensive experience, I offer numerous exercises to consolidate knowledge. Distance learning is also possible via platforms such as Skype, Facebook, etc. For students in France, lessons are done exclusively remotely.

Do not hesitate to contact me to organize your lessons according to your needs and availability. I am here to help you strengthen your skills in these subjects in an effective and personalized way. Courses tailored to your needs will allow you to progress quickly.

Do you have a second session, do you want to advance or deepen your knowledge? I teach mainly during the summer holidays. My classes are aimed at students in primary school, humanities, or bachelor's degrees at university/college. I have been giving private lessons for several years and have been a university tutor. The class begins by setting the student's expectations: do they want help solving exercises, is there a problem understanding? I favor examples during my explanations to provide more concrete information. I can also prepare additional exercises when I see it is necessary or when the student requests it.

I give lessons in various subjects at the lower and upper secondary level such as mathematics, French, English, science, economics, sociology, law, etc.
I have degrees in law and business management. I have been a tutor for about fifteen years.
I often assist students in obtaining their CEBs or in various secondary school subjects. I also assist law students.

In addition to my work with older students and exam candidates, I love teaching young learners at the primary school level. I focus on building strong foundations in subjects like Math, Science, and French, using a warm and structured approach that helps boost their confidence and curiosity.

Need help with maths or biology?
As a biomedical scientist with a PhD in Medicine and Health Sciences, I enjoy helping students of all ages to better understand the material and learn with greater confidence. We work at your own pace and in a way that suits your learning style.

How does a lesson work?
In the first session, we identify the main difficulties together. From there, we build up step by step. I encourage questions and provide practical tips and strategies to make studying more effective.

We work through exercises together, discuss examples, and then move on to more challenging problems to deepen understanding. This approach ensures you’re well prepared for your tests and exams.

A positive learning experience
Learning should be enjoyable. With a patient, motivating and clear approach, I create a relaxed environment where it’s okay to make mistakes, and no question is too much to ask — because that’s how real learning happens.

Interested?
Feel free to get in touch for more information or to arrange your first lesson. I’ll be happy to help you move forward!

As a Biomedical Sciences student and trilingual speaker accustomed to the rigorous standards of medical studies, I offer personalised tutoring designed to help you or your child progress with confidence and clarity.

Biology (Secondary School Level):
Biology is fascinating once you unlock its logic! I help students prepare for exams or strengthen their foundations in topics like genetics, anatomy, and cell biology. My goal is to transform complex concepts into simple, intuitive ideas while sharing effective study techniques.

I adapt to the unique pace of every student. I am patient, organised, and I love using concrete examples to bring lessons to life. Whether you need a one-time boost before a test or long-term support, I am dedicated to helping you reach your goals!

I hold a Doctorate in Pharmacy and 2 Masters degrees from the University of Paris V René-Descartes.
Since the beginning of my higher education, and since I established myself as a freelancer after 10 years of managerial career in the pharmaceutical industry, I have been used to regularly giving private lessons to pupils and students of all levels, Primary, Secondary and Higher, supporting them until they pass their exams.
The main disciplines in which I support students are essentially scientific.
The perspectives provided are transdisciplinary.

Hello! My name is Tibo and I tutor chemistry, biology, and molecular biology to secondary school students and those starting higher education.

I graduated as a laboratory technician and have gained experience in microbiological and molecular laboratory environments. As a result, I can not only explain scientific subject matter theoretically but also apply it practically.

During the tutoring sessions, I help students with subjects such as chemical reactions, basic biology, cell biology, molecular biology, DNA and PCR techniques, genetics, cell cultures, and sterile working. Lab-related skills such as pipetting, making dilutions, concentration calculations, lab exercises, and understanding or writing reports can also be covered extensively.

My focus is primarily on truly understanding the subject matter, so that students do not merely memorize procedures but also gain insight into why things happen and how processes are interconnected.

Are you having difficulties in biology or science, or do you simply want to better understand the subject matter and improve your results?

I offer private lessons tailored to primary and secondary school students, with a simple, progressive and personalized approach.

The goal is not just to learn the material by heart, but above all to understand it so that it can be easily reused during exercises, tests and exams.

Depending on the student's needs, we can work on:

- understanding of the concepts seen in class;
- exercises and homework;
- preparing for tests and exams;
- the refresher course;
- the working method and memorization;
- the specific difficulties encountered by the student.

Each lesson is tailored to the student's level and pace. I take the time to identify any difficulties in order to create a truly personalized learning experience.

Whether it's to catch up, prepare for an exam or simply gain self-confidence, the goal is to enable the student to make lasting progress.

Trained as a doctor and currently a Master's student in Public Health at the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB), I offer private lessons tailored to the level, objectives and difficulties of each student.

My goal is to make scientific subjects simpler, more structured and understandable, while developing a good method of working and reasoning.

I can, in particular, support pupils and students in:

• Biology and Natural Sciences
• Anatomy and physiology
• Health-related sciences
• Preparation for tests and exams
• Methodology and organization of revisions
• Introduction to research and scientific reasoning for students

Each session begins by identifying the learner's difficulties, then we gradually work on the concepts to be mastered using simple explanations, examples, exercises and questions adapted to their level.

I favour an interactive approach: the goal is not just to memorize, but to understand, reason and gradually become autonomous.

The courses can be adapted to both secondary school students and higher education students in fields related to science and health.

Do you want to better understand biology, improve your results or prepare for your exams? I'm here to help you!
