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.

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.

★ Highly qualified native English tutor specialising in IB (SL/HL), IGCSE, GCSE, and A-Level Biology and Chemistry ★
Personalised science tutoring for secondary students, building strong foundations in International Baccalaureate (IB) program, UK GCSE, International GCSE (IGCSE) A-Level with targeted preparation for AQA (OxfordAQA), Cambridge (CAIE), and Edexcel exam boards.

As a registered Pharmacist and certified Public Health professional specialising in Environmental Health, I bring an established international career in health and research directly to our lessons. Alongside my professional work, I have been tutoring science since 2013 and consistently support regular international school students throughout the academic year.

I have unique first-hand experience with the IB and Cambridge international systems both as a student and as an international teacher: I completed my secondary education within the Cambridge curriculum and later taught classroom sciences at the British School in Thailand.

My teaching style is patient, highly structured, and encouraging. Because every student learns differently, I adapt each lesson to the student's age, curriculum, and individual goals. I target gaps in understanding and break difficult concepts down into logical, manageable steps rather than relying on rote memorisation.

For secondary examination-level students, I provide comprehensive, high-tier support in:
• Biology (SL/HL)
• Chemistry (SL/HL)
• Environmental Systems & Societies (ESS)

My professional background allows me to bring practical, real-world clinical and scientific examples into lessons, making complex biochemistry and human biology highly memorable. We focus intensely on school assessments, past-paper practice, structured scientific writing, and precise exam board marking techniques.

📅 Academic term slots are limited.

Struggling to translate basic science concepts into correct answers on high-stakes clinical vignettes? Memorizing isolated facts is rarely enough—success on the USMLE Step 1 and medical board exams requires deep mechanistic understanding, disciplined active recall, and precise pattern recognition.

What we will focus on:
>Vignette Dissection: Step-by-step breakdown of question stems, identifying key clues, distractors, and essential buzzwords.
>Core High-Yield Concepts: Comprehensive, First Aid-aligned reviews across organ systems, pathology, pharmacology, and basic sciences.
>Underlying Pathophysiology: Moving past superficial memorization to understand the "why" behind disease mechanisms and diagnostic algorithms.
>Exam Strategy & Test-Taking Skills: Eliminating common traps, timing pacing, and sharpening clinical reasoning.

Whether you are just starting your prep, struggling with specific organ blocks, or entering dedicated study and aiming to boost your question-bank scores, sessions are structured entirely around your learning pace, weak areas, and targeted score goals.

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!
