Your exams are cancelled. Now your IAs determine your IB score - and here is why you should take care of your IAs, kids.
0About Liza
Hey! My name is Elizaveta, but my friends call me Liza. I am a third-year student at the University of Edinburgh, expecting to graduate in 2024 with a BSc Honors in Biomedical Sciences. My main passion lies in Pharmacogenetics, which focuses on drug development based on the individual's DNA and genetic specificities. I graduated from a German school with an IB diploma in 2020 with 38 points and the highest scores in Biology HL, Psychology SL, German B HL, and English A Lang & Lit SL. My enthusiasm consists of a balance between science and linguistics, which can be seen in my subject selection and resume :) I would be grateful to share my interests with my students and help them achieve the scores they deserve. Specifically, I believe your success at the IB DP strongly depends on your ability to follow the assessment's formatting, so I can assist you with your course material and perfect your Internal Assessment (IA). Often, the IB can feel overwhelming, but each of you deserves individual academic support, which I am here for. If, during my IB days, I had a chance to communicate with an expert in the area of studies who would tell me that I would graduate the IB with confidence and excellence, I would have spared many more of my brain cells and stressful days!

Teaching Style
My methodology and approach to tutoring
What is your teaching philosophy?
My philosophy in teaching is that learning in the IB should be more personalized and in-depth for the students to understand the significance of topics taught to them and be able to interpret the material. By exploring many aspects, I believe the student will feel more confident in unfamiliar scenarios presented during an exam or their IA's progression. In addition to the students benefiting from my vast knowledge, I hope to review trending themes and re-amplify a two-way interaction that is underrepresented at schools.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
In a typical first session with a student, I would like to understand my student's substantial and developing areas, identifying their goals and ambitions. I will use this information to learn more about my students, organize my materials according to their needs if necessary, and assist with any urgent problems. Although I would not require any preparation from my student, assessing their knowledge and abilities would be extremely helpful in establishing the best ways to learn and draft an approximate plan for our future activities together!
