Louise B has taught/tutored A level and GCSE/IGCSE Biology for over 10 years and is experienced at preparing students to perform well during their exams. Several of her A level students have gone on to study Medicine and many of her GCSE students have achieved a 9, but her biggest driver is to build the confidence in the young people she works with. Helping her students realised that they are more capable than they previously believed is what, she believes, enables them to make the fastest progress towards their goal.

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.

I am Hans K and a native from Rotterdam, The Netherlands. I have been teaching IB/DP , IGCSE and 'O' and 'A' levels for the last 20 years on a variety of internationals schools, both in Europe and the U.S. I carry degrees from Leiden Uni. in Leiden, The Netherlands, and completed my doctors course work at Carnegie-Mellon Uni. in Pittsburgh, PA, USA. I have played First Division Amateur soccer in Holland and have coached for the last 20 years as well. Besides being a soccer fanatic, I am also a wolf conservationist supporter being associated with Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary in Ramah, NM. I read quite a lot as well and try and link my readings to what I teach in History. Finally, looking at the A-Level curriculum, I have extended experience in working with sources corresponding to the Unit of European History with specifics in World War I and II, the Interbellum Period, and the Cold War., the same applies for my IGCSE teachings. I think it was the Cambridge Assessment Exam Board where the exams were forwarded to by the school.
