Biology and Science, with a focus on IB DP and MYP, Internal assesment and Extended Essay
From 68.29 C$ /h
I am a qualified IB Biology teacher with 3 years of classroom experience, currently Head of Department at an international school in Brussels.
I offer personalised online sessions tailored to where you are in the course:
- Biology IB DP, IB MYP
- IGSCE Biology, Science
- A-level Biology
- AP Biology
- Internal Assessment (IA): research question design, methodology, data analysis, and criterion-by-criterion feedback on drafts.
- Extended Essay in Biology: topic selection, RQ refinement, structure, and examiner-level guidance.
- Paper 1, 2 and 3 exam preparation: command terms, data-based questions, and past paper practice.
- MYP Sciences: criterion A–D support, unit understanding, and eAssessment preparation
Sessions are conducted in English (Italian also available). I work with students at all levels, from those aiming to consolidate foundations to those targeting a 7.

Extra information
Please have the following ready before our first session:
- Any IA or EE draft you are working on, even if incomplete
- A list of topics or papers you find most challenging
Sessions are held via Google Meet and a stable internet connection, a camera, and a shared screen or document are all you need. I recommend having a notebook handy.
For IA and EE sessions, please share your draft at least 1 week in advance so I can give you structured, specific feedback rather than reading cold during the session.

About Me
I am a Biology teacher who genuinely enjoys the subject and the process of helping students understand it and not just memorise it. I have been teaching IB Biology for three years, currently as Head of Department at an international school in Brussels, and I find that the students I work with best are those who want to understand the "why" behind the content, not just pass an exam.
I give honest feedback on drafts, and I adapt to where the student actually is rather than following a rigid script. I work best with students who are willing to engage in the subject and stay curious.
Outside the classroom I am developing my own IB resources and staying current with AI tools in education.
