01 · About

Meet Lisa.

Biology was my passion at school, enough to earn a scholarship to Cranleigh to take my A-levels. I went on to a BSc in Physiology & Pharmacology and an MSc in Science at King's College London, then qualified as a teacher in 2005.

After years in high-achieving UK schools, I moved to New York in 2008 to teach at an international school, where I trained specifically in the IB Biology programme and have been a practising IB examiner ever since. Today I tutor students one-to-one, online, all over the world.

"I know what it's like to struggle in the classroom. With the right help, you can always reach your goals."

02 · The approach

Why it actually works.

No gimmicks, no busywork. Just a clear method that turns "I don't get it" into "oh, that's it."

01

Simplify

Every concept is broken down into plain, logical steps, so it's genuinely easy to understand, not just memorised.

02

Visualise

The best animations, diagrams and models bring biology to life. If you can picture it, you can explain it in the exam.

03

Motivate

Lessons are built around what you actually need. Real progress is the best motivation, and it builds fast.

04

Connect

Every unit links back to the bigger picture: biology, the study of life. That's what makes it stick, and score.

03 · Programs

Every option is tailored to you, taught live on Zoom, and starts with a free 30-minute consultation.
