To make lessons interesting and dynamic, I use a variety of pedagogies while planning and presenting them. These include gamification, films, simulations, and hands-on activities. I provide interesting online classes by using an interactive approach, discussion, and discovery approaches. I also have excellent interpersonal abilities and am a fantastic communicator. Since open and honest communication promotes the growth of strong working relationships and teamwork, I favor creating it. In conclusion, my professional background, along with my traits like emotional intelligence, patience, and conscientiousness, have given me the experience and qualifications for this role.
PhD in Molecular Biology from Stanford University
I began my career in biological studies 29 years ago with a focus on molecular aspects. Over these years, I've taught in several renowned institutions. My primary responsibilities have been to study cellular behaviors and collaborate on international biology projects. Many students enter the field out of interest and, through guidance and education, become dedicated contributors to the discipline.
To me, biology is the story of life, and my approach has always been to tell that story engagingly. Through interactive experiments, real-life applications, and bridging complex topics with everyday experiences, I aim to bring the subject alive. The world of biology is vast and ever-changing, and I believe in keeping my students at the forefront of discoveries. The IB curriculum is comprehensive, and I blend its difficult standards with my personalized touch, ensuring that students not only excel academically but also develop a genuine appreciation for the wonders of biology.

Amanda's wealth of experience shows in her teaching. Her lessons are thorough, though I do hope for more interactive sessions.
PhD in Physics from Imperial College London
I earned my PhD in Physics from Imperial College London and have been teaching science, mainly Physics, for 28 years. Most of my teaching has been for the GCSE curriculum. Over the years, I've taught in different schools and met many students. I always try to make Physics easier to understand by using real-life examples. I've seen many of my students grow in confidence and skill. Some of them have even gone on to study science in top universities. I believe in making science lessons clear, engaging, and relevant for everyone.
My teaching philosophy is rooted in connecting classroom science with real-world phenomena. I believe that students retain information best when they can relate it to something they've experienced. So, I frequently incorporate current events or familiar examples into our discussions. Quizzes are more than just tests; I use them as learning tools to identify areas for further exploration. By focusing on practical applications of scientific principles, I aim to help students see the broader implications of what they're learning and to develop a genuine interest in the world of science.
Mr. Williams really knows his stuff, and I admire his dedication. However, occasionally I wish we could have more group discussions rather than just lectures. It helps with understanding the topic from different perspectives.
James is very knowledgeable, and I've learned a lot from him. Sometimes, though, the lessons can become a bit monotonous. I believe a few interactive activities here and there could liven things up.
PhD in Physics from the University of Oxford
I am Connor Lacroix. After completing my PhD in Physics from the University of Oxford, I embarked on a rewarding teaching journey that has spanned over two decades. I started as a lecturer at Northwood University, where I taught advanced physics courses for nearly seven years. My interest in nuclear physics led me to collaborate with research teams at Oxford, and I've co-authored several papers on particle interactions. In the last 14 years, I've been teaching A-level physics at Hillcrest High, helping students bridge the gap between high school and university-level physics. Additionally, I've conducted workshops at national and international physics conferences, ensuring I remain updated with the latest in the field.
My teaching method is straightforward: make physics relatable. I believe in breaking down complex theories into digestible bits using everyday examples. This approach not only makes the subject less intimidating but also shows its applicability in our daily lives. In my lessons, I integrate demonstrations, experiments, and discussions to keep students engaged. Regular quizzes help in assessing understanding, and I always allocate time for revision, ensuring that the students are well-prepared for their exams. Open communication is encouraged, and I am always available to address any doubts or provide extra help when needed.
Connor’s teaching style is unlike any I've encountered. There's a clear emphasis on experiential learning, which can be interesting. However, after three months, I felt like we barely scratched the surface of the syllabus. The sessions sometimes felt more like science appreciation rather than rigorous A-level prep.
I appreciate the depth he goes into, but sometimes it feels a bit too much for a single session. Still, I've learned a lot!
MSc in Biochemistry from University of Cambridge
Over my 19-year teaching career, I've dedicated myself to not just teaching science, but igniting a passion for it in my students. My first teaching job was in a rural school, where I had limited resources but endless curiosity from my students. This environment taught me to be innovative and make the most out of every situation. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working in different educational settings, city schools to private tutoring. Each of these experiences has enriched my teaching style and given me valuable insights into student needs, especially those preparing for A-levels.
I prioritize helping my students understand how each topic is interconnected. Hands-on experiments, real-life applications, and discussions form a significant part of my teaching. While I teach the subject, I always ensure my lessons are relatable and relevant to real-world scenarios. Especially for A-level students, I focus on honing their analytical skills and critical thinking, preparing them not only for exams but for future studies and professions.
Being dyslexic, I've struggled with science. Elloe used audio-visual tools, making lessons more digestible. It's a different approach. More visual aids would be even better!
She's enthusiastic, but sometimes too much. We once spent an entire lesson on just one concept. Wish there was a better balance.
MSc in Molecular Biology from University of Cambridge
After completing my master's, my journey began in a small college where I taught young scientists. Over the past 15 years, I've had the privilege to work at top institutions like Westbridge Academy and Greenfield College. During my time at Westbridge, I led a team to initiate a research program for students, allowing them to get hands-on experience in molecular biology experiments. Several of our projects have been recognized at national science fairs. Apart from classroom teaching, I've also been involved in curriculum development and have been a guest speaker at numerous biology seminars across the country.
Science is about inquiry and curiosity. While textbooks provide the basics, I believe in making my students think beyond the pages. o facilitate this, I often bring current scientific articles and case studies into the classroom, promoting discussions and critical thinking. Additionally, I use interactive models and lab sessions to provide students with hands-on learning opportunities. Continuous assessment is key, and I implement regular tests to gauge student progress. My door is always open for students who need extra clarification or wish to study more.
Having Carter as a tutor has been a game-changer for my son. He was on the verge of dropping science, but he reignited his passion. I was particularly impressed when he took the time to relate cellular biology to his favorite video game, making the lessons engaging. It's one thing to teach, but it's another to truly connect with students. Carter does both wonderfully.
Carter's real-world examples truly help in understanding the complex topics. However, his classes can sometimes run over time due to long discussions.

I've also spent summers attending workshops to keep up-to-date with the latest teaching methods and scientific discoveries. This continuous learning allows me to bring fresh perspectives and updated knowledge into the classroom.
In my science class, we keep things simple. Instead of just reading books, we observe everyday life. Maybe that's watching how water boils to understand heat or checking out the stars at night for a bit of astronomy. We also try little experiments, like seeing what things float in water or why certain things burn and others don’t. I believe that by seeing and doing, we remember better. So, our class is all about learning science by being curious and exploring the world we live in.
Richard's way of teaching is both informative and engaging. I always look forward to his classes!
