IB Biology Tutor (HL/SL) | Exam Prep and IA Support

From 35 £ /h

I'm a current LSE undergraduate studying Psychological and Behavioural Science, and I scored a 7 in HL Biology in my IB exams (42/45 overall). I tutor both HL and SL, focusing on understanding the material rather than memorising it for the exam—though we'll do plenty of exam-focused work too.

Sessions can cover content review for specific topics you're stuck on, past paper practice with proper mark-scheme technique, or support in structuring a top-tier Internal Assessment (IA).

Happy to do one-off sessions for a particular topic, or ongoing weekly sessions if you're working toward exams over a longer stretch.

About Me

Hi! I’m Anisha, originally from Singapore and currently based in London, where I study Psychological and Behavioural Science at LSE. I achieved 42/45 in the IB, including 7s in HL Biology and HL Psychology.

Academically, I’ve always leaned towards understanding the “why” behind things rather than just memorising the answer — probably why PBS ended up being the right degree for me. I bring the same approach to tutoring: I enjoy finding ways to make difficult concepts genuinely click, rather than simply teaching students what to memorise for an exam.

I have around nine months of tutoring experience through UPchieve, where I worked with students to break down difficult concepts and develop clearer approaches to questions. There’s something especially satisfying about watching a concept go from confusing to obvious for someone else, particularly when you remember exactly what that confusion felt like yourself.

Outside of academics, I do gymnastics and contemporary dance, and I have a long-running interest in fashion and investigative journalism. So if a session ever needs a slightly unconventional example to make a concept stick, I’ll probably find one!

IB Psychology Tutor (HL/SL) | Exam Prep and IA Support

35 £ /h

I'm a current LSE undergraduate studying Psychological and Behavioural Science, and I scored a 7 in HL Psychology in my IB exams (42/45 overall). Excelling in IB Psychology requires more than simply memorising studies; it’s more about knowing how to structure high-scoring SAQs and ERQs under intense time pressure.

I help HL and SL students master Paper 1, 2, and 3 criteria, construct flawless critical evaluation (AMRC/TEACUP) arguments, and ace the IA.

Happy to do one-off sessions for a particular topic, or ongoing weekly sessions if you're working toward exams over a longer stretch.

IB Extended Essay (EE) Mentor | Research and Draft Review

35 £ /h

I completed my own IB Extended Essay (Psychology) with an A grade, so I know the process from the inside — from picking a research question that's actually answerable in 4,000 words, to structuring an argument examiners can follow, to avoiding the common pitfalls that quietly cost marks (weak analysis, description instead of evaluation, a research question that's too broad or too narrow).

I can help at any stage: choosing or refining a research question, planning your structure and methodology, reviewing drafts for argument and analysis, or general feedback on writing clarity and academic tone. I'm especially well-placed to help with essays in Psychology or other Social Sciences/Sciences subjects, given my own background, but I'm happy to support the process more generally regardless of subject.

Sessions work best as ongoing support across a few weeks or months rather than a one-off, since the EE is a long process — but I'm also happy to do a single session if you just need a second pair of eyes on a specific draft or section.

If you're looking for an organised and professional teacher to help you achieve your academic goals, look no further! The IB science subjects can be extremely difficult to go through on your own, and I'll be glad to use my experience to help you out.

A couple of things I like to do:

- Initial test or interview to assess your level.
- Use Notion as a platform to share all my resources.
- Use mock papers that lay out the exercises JUST like in the real exams, so you will feel really prepared.
- I give homework when appropriate.
- I provide any kind of mentoring and college counseling. People who study Biology and Chemistry usually want to pursue a clinical career-- and that is a complex process!

I'd like to start by greeting everyone who is reading this and then briefly discuss the teachings I'm providing. Going to medical school is a major step, and while becoming a doctor may have been a big dream of yours, things unfortunately didn't turn out the way you had hoped. You didn't receive what you eagerly want following your bac. I'm here to tell you that earning your bac is just the first step on a longer journey. You have another opportunity to fulfill your lifelong ambitions. What role do I play in this? as someone who has been in your position and ultimately obtained what I want. We will have a customized plan that fulfills your needs, we will correct any unsuccessful methods and build new ones, and I will lead you through the program at every stage.

Anatomy is the subject where you can study for hours and still go blank on exam day. The problem usually isn't effort. It's that the material was never made to stick.

I'm Hina, a final-year Doctor of Physiotherapy (DPT) candidate, and I tutor anatomy, physiology, neuroanatomy, neurophysiology and biology one-to-one. You send me your syllabus, lecture slides or notes before we meet, and I build each lesson from your own course material, so we cover exactly what your exam covers and nothing twice.

Every topic gets a memory hook: a short mnemonic or diagram you can still recall under pressure. I draw live during the lesson and test you out loud, so we find the gaps in the session, not in the exam hall.

One of my students, a medical student at the University of Milan, had failed six subjects, including anatomy, neuroanatomy and physiology. After two months of lessons, she passed all six.

I teach students from school level (O Level, A Level, FSc, MDCAT) through MBBS and university health-science courses, in English or Urdu, whichever makes it click.

Start with a free 30-minute trial. Tell me what's going wrong and you'll leave with a study plan either way.

Ich studiere Computer Engineering an der RWTH Aachen und biete individuelle Nachhilfe in Mathematik, Physik und naturwissenschaftlichen Grundlagen an – von den ersten Grundlagen bis zur Oberstufe und zum Abitur.
Besonders wichtig ist mir, dass Schülerinnen und Schüler den Stoff wirklich verstehen, anstatt Formeln und Lösungswege nur auswendig zu lernen. Ich erkläre Zusammenhänge Schritt für Schritt, passe Tempo und Schwierigkeitsgrad individuell an und arbeite gezielt an den Stellen, an denen noch Unsicherheiten bestehen.
Wir können gemeinsam:
- aktuelle Themen aus dem Unterricht aufarbeiten,
- Hausaufgaben und Übungsaufgaben besprechen,
- Wissenslücken systematisch schließen,
- uns auf Klassenarbeiten, Klausuren oder das Abitur vorbereiten,
- und schwierige Themen mit zusätzlichen Aufgaben festigen.
In Mathematik kann ich unter anderem bei Algebra, Gleichungen, Funktionen, Geometrie, Trigonometrie, Analysis, Vektorrechnung und Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung helfen.
In Physik unterstütze ich unter anderem bei Mechanik, Elektrizitätslehre, Energie, Schwingungen/Wellen und weiteren schulischen Themen.
Durch mein Ingenieurstudium beschäftige ich mich selbst intensiv mit höherer Mathematik, Physik und technischen Anwendungen. Daher kann ich bei Bedarf auch fortgeschrittenere Schülerinnen und Schüler sowie Studienanfänger in mathematischen Grundlagen unterstützen.
Der Unterricht kann auf Deutsch oder Englisch stattfinden und wird individuell an das Niveau und die Ziele des Schülers bzw. der Schülerin angepasst.
Mein Ziel ist, dass Mathematik und Physik nicht mehr wie eine Sammlung zufälliger Formeln wirken, sondern Schritt für Schritt logisch und nachvollziehbar werden.
