PhD in Marine Biology
In the 16 years I've been teaching, my educational contributions have evolved. With a PhD in Marine Biology, I’m familiar with the aquatic world. I have contributed to curriculum development, making sure that the content is in line with modern research. I believe my hands-on experience with the A-level curriculum will greatly benefit students.
Biology isn’t just limited to textbooks. I prioritize the real-world application of every concept, helping students visualize and know the bigger implications of their studies. Connecting theory with real-world scenarios makes the subject interesting and prepares students to solve problems in their higher studies. Moreover, when it comes to syllabus coverage, I've devised a strategy that guarantees no topic is rushed or overlooked. By systematically breaking down the A-level curriculum, I make sure that students grasp every topic while also having time for revision.
Miss Katrina is such a fun teacher who I’ve had the pleasure of studying with. She has improved my A-level grades. As a student who has tried out many tutors, I can definitely say that Katrina is a high quality teacher. When she says that her sessions are interactive, you better believe her! As opposed to other tutors, she regularly asks questions on the content to guarantee you’re actually understanding it. What I really like about her is that after teaching a topic, she asks you to explain the whole process back to her, to consolidate what you have learnt, notice mistakes in your concepts, and make it easier to remember. This active recall in her sessions is something that many teachers these days lack. Only after having a few sessions with Katrina, I’m already feeling much more prepared, and the subject is less daunting now.
Katrina is always on time, a joy to study such a boring subject with, and extremely knowledgeable.
Ph.D. in Biochemistry
I’m Jasper, and for 16 years, I have been a mentor for many biology students, helping them secure places at some of the world’s most competitive universities. I’m proud to say that under my guidance, countless students have achieved high grades in their courses. My services aren't limited to subject-specific tutoring. They extend to personal statement reviews, interview preparations, and BMAT courses.
When you're learning with me, it’s not a lecture, but a conversation. I urge my students to question and challenge concepts because this approach makes the sessions practical. Moreover, I make science relatable. I often use real-world examples and scenarios to simplify topics, due the power of a well-placed analogy. I’m also aware of the pressures that come with studies, and I maintain a light environment during our sessions. I’m convinced that a relaxed mind is more receptive to learning. Let’s discuss and figure out how we can get your exam scores even higher!
Great tutor, but sometimes it feels a bit rushed, especially when we’re covering new material.
Wow, Dr. Jasper just gets it. He has turned my C’s into A’s. He's a miracle worker. Jasper is ready, articulate, and knowledgeable about every concept in biology. There is no textbook content, lab experiment, and research he doesn’t know how to teach! Jasper is always on time and communicates during the session to make sure that the material is understood. He sends slides after the class and will even send prep material like a youtube video before our lesson. Jasper is the reason I am doing better on exams. I wish I had found him sooner!
Dr. Willson clearly knows Biology, but I felt like just another student to him. I was hoping for a more personal approach.
Ph.D. in Biotechnology
Greetings! I’m Poppy Jackson. With a vibrant 16-year career in education and a Ph.D. in Biotechnology, I am the seasoned teacher you’ve been searching for. I blend art and modern-day technology in my lessons to make them more relatable to the sharp Gen-Z minds. Ever used the concept of musical rhythm to understand metabolic pathways? With me, you will. It’s this rare combination of my interests and profession that keeps my teaching lively.
Enter my lesson, and you’re stepping into what I like to call the ‘Learning Laboratory.’ I use colourful sketches and diagrams, which we draw together, to understand biological concepts. For instance, drawing the human circulatory system as a city map with highways, local streets, and hubs. Next, we plant the 'seeds' of fundamental concepts, ‘water’ them with practice, and 'prune' confusions through discussion and feedback. I also use the "Stargazer’s Reflection", a method where we take a step back, and reflect on the ‘bigger picture’ of what we’re learning. No rushing through topics. We’ll move at a pace where understanding deepens, curiosity grows, and confidence blooms.Are you ready to explore Biology with me, where learning feels less like a chore and more like an adventure? Let’s start!
I was struggling with A-level Biology, but since I started working with Dr. Jackson, my grades have improved. The patience and personalised approach is commendable.
Thanks for helping me get my first A in Biology!
I like her teaching method, but sometimes the pace is too slow for me
MSc, B.Ed
I have extensive experience tutoring students in the IGCSE curriculum in both India and the UAE. My expertise covers key subjects like Biology, Science, and Chemistry across various grade levels. With a strong educational background. Many of my students have achieved top grades. My structured approach ensures conceptual clarity, boosting confidence and academic performance in both Indian and international settings.
My tutoring approach is student-focused, encouraging, and adaptable. I believe in guiding students with patience, helping them understand concepts rather than just memorizing them. My teaching methods include breaking down complex topics into simple, relatable examples, using visuals, and practicing problem-solving. I also customize lessons based on each student’s learning style—whether they need step-by-step explanations or quick concept revisions. Communication is key, so I keep discussions open, ensuring students feel comfortable asking questions. I also regularly update parents on progress. My goal is to build confidence, make learning enjoyable, and help students achieve their best academically.
IGCSE, SAT and IB, qualified by the British Council
5 years of teaching English to second language students to all ages. My experience with IGCSE started off with me studying the curriculum and setting the English as a First Language exam with a grade of A*, followed by a series of teaching courses to make this fun for my students and useful! I have prepared students for their externals, and prepared others for job interviews!
Learning a language has to be infused within our daily life, so my lessons teach students to find interesting things to watch, read, and listen to, making the language part of their daily routine. We talk about them during class to practice speaking. For older students, we focus on exam papers and the way to approach the questions and answer them fully within expected analytical thinking processes.
