IB Biology SL tutoring for those in need of extra support with anything biology-related, whether it's to do with anatomy or plants!
I completed Biology HL in IB with a 6 overall. I am now studying it at the university level and am ready to help students struggling with IB Biology SL. I am familiar with the syllabus and can help students break down complex topics into simpler concepts that are easy to digest. We will begin with a lesson in order to get to know each other and see whether our goals align. We will discuss what exactly you need help with and make a weekly tutoring schedule. At the end of every class I expect students to let me know what they need help with next time or tell me 3 days before the next lesson at the latest. This ensures each class makes the most of our time together. At the beginning of the next lesson we will do a few practice questions to revise out previous class and continue with the next desired topic. I am looking for students who are open to receiving constructive criticism. I promise I will approach all of our lessons with patience, kindness, motivation and support!

IMAT 2025 - complete preparation or subject-specific
In this course I will prepare you for the IMAT (Italian medical admission test) which happens every year and is the only way to get access to the English language medicine programme in public universities in Italy. I will help you with the four scientific disciplines (math, physics, biology, chemistry) as well as the critical reasoning and general knowledge aspect. I will also prepare you with real-life exam scenarios in order to get used to the time limit and other constraints.

Alessia
Latin, Ancient Greek, and Biology tutoring classes
I have several years of experience tutoring students of different age groups in Latin and Ancient Greek. I am deeply passionate about these languages and I enjoy helping students improving at them. I believe that understanding the structure of a sentence is fundamental when approaching these languages, therefore this is an important focus for me. During the class I always dedicate some time to reasoning and translating sentences together with the student. I have a BS in pharmaceutical biotechnology and I am currently a master student in Medicine. I find biology very fascinating and I have been tutoring it for years now. Depending on the topic and the student's needs, I structure the lessons differently. I usually explain the topic and use tools such as spaced repetition, notes, conceptual maps to make sure that the student has understood.

IB Biology Higher Level Tutoring – Let’s Make Sense of Life
Hey there! If IB Biology HL feels like a whirlwind of enzymes, organelles, and unfamiliar terms — you’re not alone. I remember that feeling too. But once I got a solid grip on the subject, everything started to click — and it opened the door for me to study medicine and dive into research at a hospital, where I now work on real-world biology every day. I’m here to help you find that same clarity and confidence. Whether you're tackling tough topics, preparing for exams, or wrestling with your IA, I’ll tailor our sessions to what you need most. We’ll go at your pace, focus on understanding (not just memorizing), and I’ll always explain things in plain language — no jargon unless you want the jargon. Expect structured support, practical tips, and the occasional mitochondria joke. Let’s turn HL Biology into something that makes sense — and maybe even something you enjoy.
