About James

I tutor IB Biology and Chemistry with a focus on connecting subject knowledge to clear scientific explanations. Knowing a definition is a useful start; applying it to a new experiment or an unfamiliar set of results takes a different kind of practice. That is where I like to concentrate our work. We can build a topic around its central ideas, use diagrams to show the connections and then examine how those ideas appear in questions. I pay particular attention to interpreting data, choosing relevant evidence and explaining each stage of a calculation or argument. You will have opportunities to reason aloud and revise an answer after feedback, so we can identify precisely what needs improvement. Sessions can support your current lessons or form part of a more focused revision plan. When you get in touch, please specify Biology or Chemistry, your IB level and whether your priority is understanding content, applying it or writing stronger responses.
