IB Biology and Chemistry SL/HL Tutoring for IB Students

From 25 £ /h

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!

Extra information

I will provide the necessary materials but you should bring a notepad for note taking and solving exercises in class.

About Me

Biochemistry, maths, robotics, English, and Spanish teacher who proudly graduated with a 42 in IB :D

My classes are dynamic although if you need something more lecture-y I can do that too. I love allegories and real-life examples, mnemonics, and pretty diagrams. They kept me going throughout high school and continue to do so in college.

I provide study plans tailored to each student, too.

What I love most about teaching is when my students let me share their pride when they get the grades they wanted, and when they also call me to help with something more extracurricular (which calculators to buy, book recommendations...), it really shows trust and on top of everything else, motivation to learn, which is my main goal.

Education

Current Medicine student at University of Valencia, Spain.
A previous year of research at UMH's Institute of Neuroscience.
I have the CPE (C2) English diploma and the IB diploma with a 42/45, 4 HL subjects and the bilingual distinction.

Experience / Qualifications

I have been a teacher for four years now, I'm used to adults and teens and children of many ages. What this experience has taught me is that people sometimes just need someone that caters to them academically and just molds to the way their brain works. More often than not, the youngest children just needed someone to help them simplify and focus, and the teens actually needed more help with study techniques and learning to learn than understanding the actual knowledge. But there is diversity in that too!

What I mean is that whatever your needs are, from a 30 minute doubt to a months long plan to get an A in your final maths test, don't be afraid to contact me. Every moment counts towards your future!

Struggling with math, physics, or chemistry? You're not alone — these subjects are hard, and classroom explanations are rarely enough.
I offer personalized tutoring for middle school, high school, and early university students following the French Mission curriculum, the Moroccan national curriculum, or the international baccalaureate.
Topics covered:

Mathematics: algebra, geometry, calculus, trigonometry, probability
Physics: mechanics, electricity, optics, thermodynamics
Chemistry: organic, inorganic, stoichiometry, reactions

My approach:
I don't re-explain the textbook — I identify exactly where your understanding breaks down and fix it from there. Each session is built around your specific difficulties, not a preset program.
I completed CPGE (Classes Préparatoires aux Grandes Écoles) in Mathematics and Physics before graduating as a State Engineer — I know these subjects at an advanced level and I know where students typically get lost.
Individual and small group sessions available. Online (worldwide) in French, Arabic, or English.

Swiss-Focused Mathematics, Physics & Chemistry Tutoring – Passerelle, BMS, Berufsmaturität, Matura, Fachmaturität, QV & Adult Education

This class is designed for students and adult learners in Switzerland who want serious, structured and exam-focused support in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. The main focus is preparation for Passerelle, BMS, Berufsmaturität, Matura, Fachmaturität and QV/final apprenticeship exams, as well as support for learners in adult education who are returning to study, changing career direction or preparing for a new academic path.

What makes my tutoring different is the strong connection to the Swiss education system. I completed my master’s degree at a University of Applied Sciences in Switzerland and have many years of experience teaching students in Switzerland. This means my lessons are not generic international tutoring. They are built around Swiss school expectations, Swiss exam styles, Swiss curricula and the specific challenges faced by learners in Switzerland.

➜ Special focus on Passerelle preparation
The Passerelle is one of the most demanding Swiss pathways because it requires strong discipline, independent thinking and solid exam technique. I help students prepare systematically in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry by working through the required theory, typical task types, old exams and exam-style practice.

➜ BMS and Berufsmaturität support
For BMS and Berufsmaturität students, I provide structured help in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, depending on the programme and exam requirements. We focus on building strong foundations, closing gaps and applying methods correctly in exam situations.

➜ Matura and Fachmaturität preparation
I support students preparing for Matura and Fachmaturität exams with clear explanations, relevant exercises and a structured learning plan. The lessons help students understand difficult topics, organize their knowledge and gain confidence before important assessments.

➜ QV / final apprenticeship exam preparation
Many vocational students need Mathematics, Physics or Chemistry for their QV/final apprenticeship exams, especially in technical, scientific, laboratory, healthcare or engineering-related fields. I help students connect theory with practical calculations and exam-style tasks.

➜ Adult education and returning learners
I also work with adult learners who are returning to education after a break, preparing for Passerelle, Berufsmaturität, Fachmaturität, QV or further studies. Adult learners often need a clear, respectful and efficient teaching style. I explain from the foundation upward, without judgment, and help rebuild confidence step by step.

➜ Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry taught with equal seriousness
The focus is not only Mathematics. Physics and Chemistry are also important, especially for Passerelle, Matura, Fachmaturität, technical BMS directions, QV exams and later studies. I explain formulas, concepts and calculations clearly so students understand the logic behind the subject.

➜ Old exams and Swiss-style practice
Where suitable, I use old exams, typical Swiss exam questions and realistic practice material. Students learn how questions are asked, how to recognize the correct method, how to structure their solutions and how to avoid common mistakes.

➜ Clear step-by-step method
Every task is approached with a simple structure: What is given? What is required? Which formula, law or method is suitable? Why does it apply? Then we solve the task step by step with all formulas, calculations and explanations.

➜ Why choose a Swiss-focused tutor?
Many tutors may know Mathematics, Physics or Chemistry, but Swiss exams often have their own wording, structure and expectations. Because I studied in Switzerland and have taught Swiss students for years, I can prepare learners in a much more targeted and relevant way.

➜ For serious students who want real progress
This class is ideal for students and adult learners who want to pass an important exam, improve their grades, close knowledge gaps, prepare for further studies or gain more confidence in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry.

➜ Success-oriented preparation
My goal is to help students build real understanding, not just short-term memorization. With clear explanations, structured practice, old exam material and consistent preparation, students can develop the confidence and exam technique needed to perform at their best.

I graduated with a perfect 45/45 in the IB Diploma and achieved 7/7 in both Biology HL and Chemistry HL. I also have over 3 years of teaching experience.
In this class, I’ll share the strategies, techniques, and exam approaches that helped me achieve those results.
This class is focused on more than simply reviewing the syllabus. We will focus on how to approach IB science questions, apply your knowledge effectively, maximize marks, and consistently perform at a 6–7 level.

What we will focus on:
- How to approach difficult IB-style questions
- Strategies for moving from a 5 to a 6 or from a 6 to a 7
- How to understand command terms and what questions are really asking
- How to structure answers to maximize marks
- Data analysis, graphs, calculations, and experimental questions
- Common mistakes that cost students marks
- Time management and exam strategy
- Challenging 6–7 level Biology HL and Chemistry HL questions

We will work through challenging IB-style Biology and Chemistry questions step by step, focusing not only on what the correct answer is, but why the markscheme awards marks for it and how to recognize similar questions in an exam.
Whether you are currently working toward a 6, trying to push from a 6 to a 7, or simply want to become significantly stronger in IB Biology HL or Chemistry HL, this class will give you a clear and practical strategy for maximizing your exam performance.

I offer personalized academic support in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology for secondary and high-school students. Whether the goal is to strengthen fundamental concepts, overcome specific difficulties, improve problem-solving skills, prepare for tests and exams, or simply gain confidence in a subject, each lesson is adapted to the student’s curriculum, level, objectives, and learning pace.

Learning science is about much more than memorizing formulas, definitions, and procedures. My approach focuses first on understanding: identifying what really matters, connecting different concepts, developing logical reasoning, and learning how to approach a problem step by step. The objective is not only to improve academic results, but also to help students become more confident, curious, and independent learners.

Depending on the student’s level and curriculum, I can provide support in:

¤ Mathematics — algebra, equations and inequalities, functions, sequences, geometry, trigonometry, vectors, limits, derivatives, integrals, probability and statistics
¤ Physics — mechanics, motion and forces, energy, electricity, electromagnetism, waves, optics, thermodynamics, atomic and modern physics
¤ Chemistry — atomic structure, chemical bonding, reactions, stoichiometry, solutions and concentrations, acids and bases, oxidation-reduction, thermochemistry, kinetics and introductory organic chemistry
¤ Biology — cell biology, genetics and DNA, molecular biology, human physiology, reproduction, evolution, ecology and basic biochemistry

I hold a PhD in Physics and have a broad academic background in physics, mathematics, applied sciences, and experimental research. My scientific training allows me to connect concepts across different subjects and, whenever useful, relate what students learn in class to concrete examples, experiments, technology, and real scientific applications.

Lessons are adapted to the student’s own school program and materials and can be provided in English or French, with explanations in Arabic whenever helpful.

I graduated from Istanbul University’s Molecular Biology and Genetics program, ranking third in my department, and I am currently pursuing a master’s degree in Molecular Biology at the University of Padova. Biology is the field I’ve built my academic life around, and I enjoy helping students see that it is far more than a list of terms to memorize.

My lessons focus on understanding how biological systems actually work. Instead of rote learning, we build the logic step by step, from the cell and its machinery to genetics, molecular biology, and physiology, so that new topics connect to what you already know. I tailor each lesson to the student’s level and goals, whether that means high school biology, exam preparation, or university-level introductory courses such as cell biology, genetics, and biochemistry. I can also help with reading scientific texts and understanding lab concepts.

Lessons are available in English or Turkish. I look forward to working with you!
