Chemistry-Biology for IGCSE and IB students test prep tutoring

Von 54 Fr /Std

I specialize in tutoring chemistry and biology for IGCSE and IB students.

I am a slow learner that takes time to process new information. This makes me very patient. Also, it means that acknowledge the importance of differences in learning style between students and accommodate for this. Because I am a slow learner, I would go the extra mile in highschool and at university by organizing revision sessions and getting extra practice papers from my teachers. This allowed me to get A*s in my IGCSEs and a score of 41 in my IB.

Academic success is about understanding what examiners are looking for
I aim to help students improve by building their confidence and allowing them to become independent learners, which is a skill that will be required throughout their academic careers. Indeed, my aim is to teach students how to revise for exams, but also to convince students that being academically successful is achievable when one understands what examiners are looking for, for instance by:
a. finding patterns in past papers
b. close examination of the course syllabus, which contains many clues and often the written answers to questions that will be asked during examinations

The points above are particularly relevant in the sciences (though it also applies to other subjects). In biology, for instance, memorizing the process of DNA replication from a Biology HL textbook may not actually give the student full marks, as examiners are looking for specific points relating to this process, some of which may be more intuitive than others. The key is to look at the syllabus, past papers and the markschemes, as well as the recommended textbook to provide insightful answers.

Über mich

My name is Svet, and I have just graduated with a First Class degree in Biomedical Sciences with Honours in Physiology (Bachelor of Science) at the University of Edinburgh.

Teaching is my passion

I have always had a passion for teaching. Since high school, I had already been tutoring chemistry weekly. During the summer of my first year at university, I taught English and sciences full time as a volunteer with AIESEC, an international organization that allows students to volunteer abroad. From my second year at university, I taught Bhangra (an Indian dance) to university students three times a week, and we even placed second at a national competition, which was incredibly fun! Furthermore, I became an online tutor with MyTutor during the last academic semester of my fourth year (2018). However, because this was an academically charged semester, I did not have the opportunity to tutor as much as I would have liked to. Now that I am back in Geneva, I continue to pursue my passion for teaching Bhangra and sciences.

** CORONAVIRUS UPDATE: Courses given online! **

I am a young doctor recently graduated in Human Medicine at the University of Geneva.

Being calm and patient in nature, I try to build trust with my students to create a more relaxed environment, conducive to exchange and therefore learning courses.

For me, the understanding of a course is mainly through a structured, imaged and especially personalized learning of different subjects to enable the student to sustainably integrate the key concepts that are useful to him.

This type of contact is very important to me and is the basis of my interest and desire to teach. I believe that academic success is, of course, through learning but above all through an educational approach that takes into account several psychosocial factors that can influence children's success through an impact on their self-esteem. In my sessions, I attach great importance to identifying these factors and valuing the efforts of my students so that they become aware of their abilities and gain self-confidence.

This course is for people of all ages and backgrounds who need tutoring or who wish to deepen their knowledge of biology / medicine.

Students and future medical students accepted for regular courses and exam preparation!

Do not hesitate to contact me, I will answer you with pleasure!

For a dozen years I help students and students in mathematics and physics-chemistry.
I make a skills assessment during the first class and I commit to quantitative results.
I can indeed certify a quarterly increase of the notes between 1 and 4 points according to the file taken into consideration.
This rare positioning is the consequence of a permanent optimization of my teaching methods and especially of a real ability to perfectly detect the learning structure of each of my students.
During school holidays, I do courses in private lessons.

*****German text below*****

About myself:
My name is Manuele and I am 30 years old. I'm good-humoured, creative person and if my lab is not blowing up into my face, I'm also very calm and hearty.
Currently, I am working as a PhD in an interdisciplinary field of chemistry and physics. I have a Masters degree in chemistry as well as a Bachelors with a major in chemistry and a minor in physics. In the past years, I had the privilege to acquire fundamental knowledge in chemistry, physics and mathematics at a top academic institution.
For my achievements, I was honored three times by the faculty of Chemistry with the Werner price and for my dissertation I was awarded the semester price.

My Philosophy:
My objective is to provide individual approaches to convert weaknesses into strengths and to face challenges with the certainty of success.
In the past four years, I have been able to acquire an extensive repertoire of experience in this area. I now try to pass this experience on to my students in the best possible way
My personal goal is that students no longer worry after an exam about whether the exam was passed or not, but that they are annoyed if the best possible grade was not achieved.
In order to guarantee improved results, I only accept 2 students within the same time period (in English and/or German).

I'm looking forward to meeting you!
Dear greetings
Manuel

In this course we will see the college chemistry program. For example: balancing reactions, calculating pH, mole number, concentrations, oxide-reduction reactions.
We will also see the basic concepts in organic chemistry, such as nucleophilic attack or substitution reactions.

Paul

Professor with over thirty years of experience in the region in academic support, multi-disciplinary training, mathematics degree and scientific doctorate, gives courses in mathematics, physics, chemistry, Swiss, French and international programs, pre-gymnasium, gymnasium, Geneva college, private schools, Léman college, Moser, Pareto Institute, first cycle university, preparation for HEC and EHL Lausanne.

The course is tailored to each student's individual needs. Student participation is essential, and I encourage dialogue, as my experience has shown me that this is often how misunderstandings and gaps in knowledge are identified. The course does not replace the need for independent study, which relies primarily on numerous exercises and working through their solutions. I remind you that true mastery only comes when you can solve an exercise independently, without errors.

I offer tutoring for primary and middle school students to help them progress, regain confidence and achieve better results at school.

With over 8 months of experience, I support students with homework, subject review, catching up on concepts they haven't understood, and organizing their schoolwork. I always adapt my method to each child's level, pace, and needs.

Courses may include:

help with homework

French (reading, comprehension, writing, grammar)

mathematics and science according to level

preparation for assessments

methodology and organization

I favor a patient, caring, and structured approach, so that the student feels confident and dares to ask questions. Regular follow-up can be arranged, with the possibility of communication with parents.

Lessons take place at the student's home and the schedule is flexible.
