Louise is an experienced teacher and tutor with 13+ years of experience with the IB. She has consistently assisted students in attaining 6/7 in Biology SL and HL and is well-versed in supporting students writing IAs, ecology based projects in particular. In addition she has supervised several candidates in completing a World Studies EE with Biology as one of the subject lenses with 100% of students attaining A-C.

At university Louise initially began studying Biochemistry but quickly realised that Microbiology was a bigger passion. She therefore has an excellent understanding of metabolic processes that students tend to find tricky. Her PhD in life sciences demonstrates that she understands the research process and is able to pass these skills onto her students.

Finally, Louise's teaching qualification was attained at the University of Oxford meaning that she is equipped with teaching skills that will allow her to get the best from her students. Her approach is to work with students with empathy and an open mind so that students grow in confidence and feel that they can achieve more than they previously thought possible.

Louise focuses on boosting the confidence of the young people she works with, building a solid rapport and developing an understanding of their development areas. She then works with the student to fill any gaps in knowledge and tests understanding using questioning to demonstrate self-capability of the student. Finally, building exam technique by using past paper questioning to ensure exam success.
