Biology is a challenge for many students, not only due to the scientific concepts covered, but also as there is a significant language component. With the right support, I believe every student can excel in this subject. As a qualified teacher with over a decade’s experience working in education, I am confident in identifying student needs and adapting my classes to suit them.
I am committed to helping students achieve their goals in biology. Whether you are looking to extend your study outside of the curriculum or need support in achieving the grades necessary for further study, I can help.

About Me
Hi there,
I’m Lizzie, a biology graduate and qualified teacher with over a decade’s experience of working in education.
I believe in the importance of dialogue in teaching and learning. When taking classes with me, you can expect to be challenged with questions adapted to your level, and I hope we can engage in discussions over the topics you find most interesting or need more support with.
Having taught in one of Beijing’s top international schools for five years, I have learned to adapt my teaching style to a range of different learning needs. Whether you are looking for additional practice with foundational concepts for science study, or you hope to extend your learning with projects developed to support future school applications, I would be thrilled to help you achieve your goals.
Although I prefer classes to take place in English, I also speak basic Mandarin.
I look forward to helping you reach your educational goals.
