About Me

Hi there!

I'm Poppy, I am currently studying a degree in Biology at the University of York and am about to enter my 3rd year.
Biology is a subject I absolutely love and would be so happy to share this with you. Whether you are a keen biologist looking to learn something completely new or perhaps feel like you need to brush up on a few topics for an exam, I am here to help.

I am personally very interested in zoology and neuroscience with a biopsychology crossover, however I can help further understanding in many other areas of the field including ecology, molecular biology and anatomy. I hold classes for key stage 3 to degree level on topic including straight biology (up to degree level), psychology and chemistry (up to A level or equivalent), maths (up to As level or equivalent) and others.

Having an understanding that different people learn in different ways is important and so I will start by discussing the ways you learn best. From quizzes to discussion, reading to workshopping, we can find what suits you. So, please message me if you are interested and we can discuss this before hand to make sure you would be happy with the format of my classes.

I look forward to hearing from you :)

Stress is, in biology, the set of reactions of an organism subjected to pressures or constraints of the environment. Anxiety is a mental and physical malaise, born from the feeling of the imminence of a danger, characterized by a diffuse fear which can go as far as panic. While anxiety is a one-time emotion & often occurs as a fit, whereas anxiety can be more chronic in nature.

All three are not necessarily signs of weakness and without being a choice, they affect many people to varying intensities. Not ignoring your pain and being accompanied to find coping strategies is vital.

These workshops offer you to learn to listen, tame, manage and control your emotions, stress, anxiety and anxiety.

The objectives are clear, with always practical applications:
- Discover your own emotional process to understand the role and impact of emotions
- Analyze its operations and implement (concrete) strategies & clear techniques to channel them
- Develop your emotional awareness to strengthen your balance / harmony / self-confidence as well as the best discovery & control of your own resources / skills / potential as well as new tools
- Overcome your fears and blockages to be able to move forward and calmly
- Reduce the psychological / psycho-somatic manifestations of his emotions
- Optimize the emotional process thanks to the concept of emotional intelligence
- Make your sensitivity & possible hypersensitivity a strength

Indeed, the sensitive & hypersensitive represent a small part of the population and are able to perceive what others do not feel, which is hidden but try to conform to what is expected of them and of them. '' be able to live in community. After appropriate support, a hypersensitive can learn to tame their innate abilities

What happens during a session ?

After having defined together one or more global objectives based on your initial problem, each session takes place in two stages.

1) Browse, analyze & dissect together the reflections, thoughts and notes taken during the week and related to your emotions: actions taken based on the suggestions of the previous week; thoughts; feelings: what worked or not / corresponded or not to your expectations. It is also an opportunity to get to know you better in order to better define / define / identify and then solve together the challenges / emotional blockages of the moment.

2) Based on the conclusions of the first part, a proposal of two to three sub-issues of the day to be dealt with during the session (sub-issues built from your initial issue): to answer them, for each of them 'between them, a series of ten to fifteen pragmatic reflections / actions will be proposed to you. Three possible answers:
- "I have already tried this solution but it does not suit me" or "I do not really believe it": we go to the next suggestion
- “Never tried” or “why not”, “I'll think about it”: we set ourselves the goal of trying as soon as the opportunity arises, by the next session

Concretely, a session = a reflection but above all A SESSION = SOLUTIONS / proposals / concrete suggestions to put into practice for the following session in order to overcome its blockages.

According to the defined objective, it is a question of identifying & resolving the impact of emotions and their bad channeling not only on his communication but especially on his daily life.

► Learn to know your intimate and sexual desires, deepen them, assume them and perceive their meaning, while being aware of your own limits and those of your partner, understand your blockages in order to overcome them, take advantage of the approach socio-cognitive of sexual desire, better integrate the functioning of one's partner, integrate tools / techniques / methods / know-how / key phrases to take pleasure while leaving it to spontaneity & naturalness, improve the link between affectivity and sexual intimacy but also communication with your partner, play (...): these are examples of the objectives of these personalized sessions, in order to ultimately improve your intimate and sexual satisfaction, accompanied by a mediator specialized.

➤ Together, step by step, it's about getting to know each other better (through your past experience, what you like or appreciate the least about yourself / about the other), by analyzing situations in a thorough and pragmatic way. Indeed, this step is essential in order not to orient towards / "tackle" a pre-established model, but to adapt to each situation.

➤ In parallel, from the first session, once the key points are better understood / assimilated, and the objectives gradually defined, tackle, based on your daily life / your experience, the art of sexuality and its subtleties, while valuing the complexity of sexuality and not its complications.

► My mission: to help you understand, analyze, discover and discover yourself to better enjoy yourself, while gaining self-confidence & acting in order to no longer be limited by your beliefs.

➤ If the discretion and confidentiality of the coach are essential, it is therefore a question of offering a tailor-made program / training, following an initial 'diagnosis'.

► These sessions can, for example, deal with how to regain confidence and make you reconnect with a complex but not complicated, subtle but not tangled sexuality, in short fulfilled while understanding the key elements of your own psychology and that of your partner (... ). But also how to strengthen your sexual charisma to unlock your potential and take pleasure.

➤ Objective here again: to introduce concrete techniques / methods which make it possible to communicate easily, in a fluid, efficient and always natural way, while mastering situations.

➤ Non-verbal language, sexualization and avoidance of the friend zone (...): the objective being to demystify these themes in theory and in practice.

➤ Coaching is based on precise questioning techniques, helping the person being supported to find a solution to a problem. At the end of each session, the coachee will master new ways of thinking, actions to accomplish and will have better motivation. Depending on the clients' expectations, the coach can suggest other approaches.

➤ So what do the first individual coaching sessions look like? First, a first exploratory contact during which your expectations are examined, the nature of the request and the context are evaluated, a 'diagnosis' is discussed, taking into account your difficulties, your needs, your objective.
Then, it is a question of developing a precise procedure and proposing lines of work. A relationship of trust is gradually established through a benevolent alchemy, where listening, empathy and the absence of judgment are central.

➤ Thus, after having carried out together an initial assessment of the situation, a kind of inventory, it is a question of determining the objectives to be reached, the feelings and the questions related to the situation as well as proposing actions to achieve your goal, resolve constraining situations that stand in your way, using tools that will be offered to you according to your situation to get out of your comfort zone and change your perspective.

➤ The guide then asks questions aimed at exploring solutions aimed at achieving the objective, through experiments and exercises. Through various tools (drawing, role playing, metaphor, visualization, etc.), this questioning helps to change perspective, get out of an impasse in order to explore various options that you might not have thought of. this way, based on tools and experience. For example, it could be a new way of thinking about difficulties or another approach to identifying and considering resolving conflicts or a progression in terms of personal development or in terms of a career focusing always on the development of personal resources and self-knowledge.
At the start of the next meeting, the coachee begins with a summary of the activations and the evolution of the state from the last meeting. This step makes it possible to have an evaluation of the positive points and those which are less so in order to readjust the set strategy.

➤ Concretely, ONE SESSION = SOLUTIONS / proposals / concrete suggestions to put into practice for the next session in order to overcome blockages or improve self-knowledge.

Note that during the videoconference session, all the notes are transcribed in the chat so that you can access them at any time when you wish.

Do you sometimes feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain, even though everything seems to be “fine” on the surface? Would you like to improve your relationship with yourself or others, find more inner calm, or navigate personal challenges with greater confidence and awareness?

In my coaching sessions, I support people who want to grow personally and emotionally—whether the focus is on self-acceptance, emotional intelligence, resilience, work-life balance, finding purpose, relationships, or achieving meaningful life goals. Together, we explore your concerns, strengthen your existing resources, and develop practical solutions tailored to your unique situation.

I work from the understanding that you already possess many of the resources needed for growth and change. As the expert on your own life, you bring the knowledge of your experiences, values, and aspirations. I support you to define your goals more clearly, identify your strengths and inner resources, and discover meaningful ways to turn your intentions into action. Our focus is not on fixing what is “wrong,” but on understanding what matters most to you and how you can shape a more conscious, authentic, and fulfilling life.

Through targeted questioning techniques and solution-focused approaches, we explore new perspectives and possibilities for action. Many difficulties arise from unhelpful thought patterns or habitual ways of responding. Together, we can identify these patterns and develop more supportive and empowering alternatives. Rather than applying standard solutions, I work with your individuality, strengths, and personal resources.

My approach integrates methods from psychological counseling, mindfulness coaching, and solution-focused communication. I also draw on concepts from systemic and hypnosystemic counseling, as well as organizational and communication psychology. A particular focus of my work is the combination of mindfulness, resource orientation, humor, lightness, and depth. I believe that personal growth becomes more sustainable when self-awareness, compassion, and a sense of ease are part of the process.

My qualifications include certifications in Psychological Counseling and Mindfulness Coaching (ILS), a Bachelor's degree in Social Work from the NHL Stenden University, as well as international specializations in Inspirational Coach and Leader at the Universitas Triatma Mulya and Mindful Leadership at Stenden Thailand.

I offer a supportive space for reflection, personal growth, and meaningful change—helping you move toward greater clarity, resilience, and well-being in both your personal and professional life.

Biology is a fascinating area of study but can be difficult to understand. As a tutor, my job is help you build your confidence and build your understanding. My lessons involve using the students own text book to identify keys concepts based on the students own curriculum alongside other reading sources (for AP Biology, GCSE, International Baccalaureate, and first + second year University students).

I use materials such as whiteboard drawings to provide visual explanations and reinforce concepts. I also create practice questions to make students feel more confident in test preparation. I’m excited to get to know you and help build you confidence in biology! Together We will tackle biological concepts step by step and I hope to make you as excited to learn biology as I am

This class is designed for IB students who would like support with English, biology, or psychology at both SL and HL level. Lessons are personalised based on each student’s subjects, level, goals, strengths, and the areas they would like to improve or better understand.

I can help with revision, exam preparation, essay writing, analysis, understanding difficult concepts, structuring responses, developing effective study methods, and improving confidence with IB style questions and markscheme expectations. Lessons can focus on content understanding, analytical thinking, academic writing, revision techniques, or preparing for internal assessment depending on the student’s needs.

Having recently completed the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) in an international school fully taught in English, including biology HL, psychology HL, and English A language and literature, I understand both the academic demands of the IB and the challenges students often face when balancing content heavy subjects, analysis, and time management.

Lessons are supportive, engaging, and adapted individually to each student. Depending on the subject and student’s goals, classes can focus more on revision, exam technique, essay structure, textual analysis, active recall methods, concept explanation, or improving overall confidence and academic performance within the IB programme.
