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!

Beatrice
Biology Classes for IB, IGCSE, MYP and university students
I have worked for 5 years now with kids from international schools helping them in subjects such as maths and biology. We always find the best suiting way to approach the subject together; I have indeed a few teaching methods that can be adapted to a kids' needs, I believe every kid needs a different method to fully understand the subject. I provide 2 types of lessons that represent 2 phases: 1. THEORY - Understanding the theory repeating together each unit. 2. PAST PAPERS - Going through past papers to "simulate" a potential exam. Dividing the process in 2 phases has proven really effective in succeeding not only during the year but also at the final exams.
