About Me
I have taught Biology for 20 years in the UK, Bangkok, at Harrow International School, Singapore, at the Canadian International School, and have just finished teaching Animal Mangement Level 3 BTEC in Further Education. I have lived and worked all over the World and have a broad range of experience on which to draw from. I am passionate about the natural world and come from a long line of Biologists.
My first degree was in Marine Biology and then came a PGCE followed by a Masters later in life which has allowed me to enjoy working with animals whenever the opportunity has arisen.
I have tagged sharks in the gulf of Mexico, tagged Sawfish in the Everglades, released snakes, owls and porcupines into National Parks, rescued Pygmy Slow Loris’s from suitcases, stepped on Cobras, and helped lamb hundreds of sheep over the years, which all make for interesting tales to be linked into my lessons.
I have taught, GCSE, IGCSE, IBMYP, IMYC, IB Diploma, AS and A2, and Common Entrance for ISEB.
I am a flexible, fun and knowledable teacher, which aproven track record of helping student to achieve.
My teaching style
I would say that I am a fun, bubbly, and enthuiastic teacher. Academics have not come naturally to me over the years and I think that has made me a better teacher, as I really understand the reasons why student may not be able to access a particular subject, and am not afraid to think outside the box to help understanding.
My past experience
I have taught for 20 years and tutored on and off over that time for numerous students privately.
My Proudest Achievements
One of my students at Harrow came 2nd in the world fo her IGCSE Biology exam.
Many of my students have gone on to study medicine and are now doctors and still keep in touch to let me know how they are getting on 10 years later!
