Tutor Bio
I am a former Dentist. My medical background enriched my expertise in the subject I teach, "BIOLOGY." Biology has always been my favorite subject to learn and teach. I have taught for over 18 years and pursued a master's in International and Comparative Education. I taught different sciences at different school levels, from grade 6 to grade 12, teaching Biology, chemistry, physics, environmental science, and integrated sciences. I have six years of experience teaching IB Biology, delivering both the Standard Level (SL) and the High Level (HL). I am also experienced in supervising IAs as well as EE in biology. All in addition to being the head of the secondary science department at the current school I am working. Tutor Introduction

Tutor Teaching Style
If learning is stressful, It's useless.
Ice breaker, Get to know the student's needs, get the student to understand how I may address those needs, and set up together a convenient Learning Plan.
Give the student autonomy to decide what studying plan suits them. Be fully aware of the student's capabilities, then customize the work to serve them and make the student part of the teaching process, not just the learning one.
Being Honest, ensuring that success is doable and easy by making some effort and rewarding the student in case of progress
Nothing is impossible -- I would move step by step till this student nails whatever they are struggling at. This is achievable by tailoring the learning process to suit the student's abilities.
Ensure them that they are valuable, thoughtful, and can do it.
Ensure them that they are valuable, thoughtful, and can do it.
Implementing various teaching techniques that are fun, out of the box, and less tedious than ordinary teaching.
I usually utilize most teaching techniques that suit all learning styles, visual, audio, games, etc.
By being slow, incremental, and encouraging all the time.
First thing through the student themself. They know better than anyone, also through regular assessments and checkpoints.
Tailoring the lesson style to suit the student's needs. Ex: Many videos and animations illustrate the lesson if the student is visual.
