Education

Bachelor of Science in Biotechnology

Experience

I have 13 years experience in teaching A-level Biology (ex lecturer at a local institute). 

Attended Professional Development Course for CIE Biology and CAIE Biology Marking Workshop. Thus familiar with CIE exam format and answering techniques. 

Currently a private tutor in teaching CAIE A-LEVEL, EDEXCEL A-LEVEL, IGCSE, MUFY and SPM Biology. Summary notes provided for A-LEVEL and IGCSE students

Tutoring Approach

My teaching approach is depending on every student's needs and also guide students in working out solutions to exam questions. I usually won't provide students with answer directly, instead I will guide and encourage them to answer the questions and this helps them in understanding as well as remembering the contents better. Other than that, I also provide students with notes which are easier for them to understand.

PhD in Molecular Biology (University of Oxford); Pharmacology BSc (1st Class Hons, King's College London); British born and educated.

Experience

I am a full-time Science tutor and have a First class degree in Pharmacology from Kings College London and a PhD from the University of Oxford. 

My general curiosity in Biology and nature has always helped motivate me in my studies and I hope that through tutoring I can inspire and transfer my enthusiasm for science to my students.

Due to the nature of my educational background, I have an excellent understanding of the Science subjects and I am adept in explaining complex concepts and ideas in a more understandable and manageable way. 

I am a friendly, patient and enthusiastic science tutor who has over 8 years of experience in tutoring, mentoring and teaching science to those from the ages of 11 to PhD level. 

I provide online tuition and have been teaching science at GCSE, iGCSE, A level and university level and have worked with a variety of pupils with various abilities, learning styles, strengths and weaknesses. 

I have an excellent knowledge and experience of the current curriculum of all major exam boards (AQA, Cambridge, Edexcel and OCR) and teach both Combined and Triple iGCSE Sciences.

Tutoring Approach

I provide a personalised tuition programme either online or in the tutee's home and can also provide home schooling/ education during the day. 

The tuition sessions are very structured and tailored to the needs and learning style of the student, focusing on any weaknesses. These needs are usually pinpointed within the first meeting and I tailor all sessions to the individual specific exam board. 

I apply a variety of different teaching techniques and styles that I have found to be effective in order to make studying enjoyable, interesting as well as beneficial, helping students to reach and excel to their full potential. 

My strategy in teaching addresses multiple areas to greatly benefit student's approach to learning which helps build their confidence. These include: 

- Help students to actually understand concepts and topics (rather than simply memorising facts) 

- Support with exam techniques, specific exam terminology and definitions that are commonly asked 

- Extensive exposure to actual exam board specific questions (I have an extensive array of relevant up-to-date educational and past exam papers, split by topic, for all subjects) 

- Provide support with revision techniques and advice to self learn and self motivate 

- Assist with composing an effective weekly study schedule tailored and based around the student's extra-curricular activities 

- Provide comprehensive feedback after each lesson on student's progress, homework results and areas to improve

Education

BSc

Experience

Having a background in medical research, I have learned to apply a methodological approach to teaching. My career in education has provided me with the experience in preparing students for include IGCSE, AS and A-Level (CIE and EDEXCEL), SAT, IB (Diploma, MYP and PYP), STPM, SPM and PT3 Level. Throughout the years, I have honed skills such as problem solving and critical thinking. Some of my best attributes are a key attention for details, perseverance and the ability to connect with people on their level.

Tutoring Approach

My approach to teaching varies according to the needs of the student(s). When teaching technical subjects like biology or physics, I apply an approach that encourages critical thinking and real world examples that enhances interest in these subjects and promotes understanding of concepts and principles. When teaching languages or exam preparation, my method of teaching involves engaging the student(s) in discussion using examples where ideas are compared before allowing the student(s) to come up with suitable answers.

Education

PhD (Biotechnology) in progress, Master (Biochemistry) 82% Grade, BSc (Biotechnology & Genetic Engineering) GPA: 3.8/4.0

Experience

Being a Master graduate in Biochemistry and undergraduate in Biotechnology, I have in-depth knowledge of Basic Sciences particularly Biology and Chemistry and have the ability to solve any kind of difficulties of students. I am flexible with timings and can teach students as per their scheduled timings. Currently, I am doing my PhD in Biotechnology at the University of Malaya and in parallel, I want to utilise my teaching skills while creating a challenging and fun learning environment for students.

Tutoring Approach

I am a skilled tutor having the capability to teach students using good teaching techniques. As there is different picking power of each student i.e some pick the idea in a second while some take time. For the later learners, I give extra time and explain them with common examples and diagrams in order to catch up and understand the subject very well, as to me what really matters is the concept.

Education

Master in health and medical sciences (Biochemistry & Genetics Major)

Experience

Miss Tan is an excellent tutor well-versed in both IGCSE and UEC syllabus. Subjects covered by her includes: Mathematics, Additional-Mathematics and Biological Sciences (Pre-U/ Uni level only). 

Her students see major improvement in grades after months of tutoring, and parents praise her for her attentiveness during each lesson. She presents herself well, and comes to each lesson well-prepared. Because of the small age gap, she finds it easy to connect and build good mentorship with her students.

Tutoring Approach

For my new students, first lesson is always aimed at understanding their area of weakness for a subject through a small test and discussion with them. I find out their performance in school, and their personal goal for this subject.

Then, I plan our future lessons to

1. help them understand new topics better

2. improve & strenghthen their understanding for old topics through countless exercises + exam-style questions.

I believe that everyone can be good at Mathematics. Some are born with it, but most achieve that through exercises and hardwork.

Education

Experience

(https://eddylearn.teachable.com/?redirect=admin)

I have served as Private Tutor and Personal Development Coach to over 307 private students in the past 16 years, with remarkable results. I have authored GCE A Level, BMAT, ACT, IB, and SAT Exam Preparation guides, used exclusively by Eddylearn students. I have also specialised in Home Schooling, where I plan and administer 6-month or 9-month intensive study schedules to prepare private candidates for the entire AS/A Level or IB Diploma curricula; SAT; GMAT; GRE; BMAT; UKCAT and MCAT.

Tutoring Approach

(https://eddylearn.teachable.com/?redirect=admin)

I present the subject content of the respective syllabus in an "easy to grasp" manner, so down to earth, for any grade of student to understand. I then work with the student to understand how Examiners think, and to sharpen the student's Exam Taking Skills. This makes the students present answers of Excellent Quality in their Exams. I also Supplement Face-to-Face Tuition with Skype Lessons to ensure a Deeper-Rootedness of Understanding. I have observed that my style of tuition makes the Student develop a Special Liking for the Subject (which may have been absent initially), and also Motivates the Student to use his or her initiative to Work without Supervision. I definitely make Champions out of Students!

Also, my lessons are interactive and are tailored to the level of intellect of the individual. Having been through the education system relatively recently, I understand what it takes to excel from the point of view of the student.
