Students will improve their knowledge of the EDEXCEL IGCSE Biology syllabus content and their approach to decoding the examinations questions. I am to ensure that all students will understand the terminology and phrases that the examination board are looking for in their examination papers. 
I am an experienced and qualified teacher who has been a Head of Department for 16 years. I have degrees in Biology and Psychology and have taught the EDEXCEL IGCSE syllabus for over 15 years. 
Homework Offered
I will set a range of past examination questions for students to work on, in and out of lessons.
1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
I will set small quizzes to monitor understanding and to track progess of students to ensure that we only move on to new material once a solid comprehension has been established.
Grades Offered
Grading for assessments will be provided to provide feedback and allow students to track their progress.
I can support any specific learning needs. 
Ideally you will have completed most of your IGCSE course. 
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
I will cover evolution by natural selection and will teach students what they need to know about this topic in order to maximise their marks in the examinations. 

I will cover the anatomy of the male and female reproductive systems in line with the syallbus content and my discussions on this topic will essentially focus on structures and functions. 

I will also cover the effect of sex hormones on seondary sexual characteristics and again my discussions will only stretch as far as ensuring the course content is covered, such that a student can gain full marks for associated questions on this topic. 

There are some topics that will require ethics to be discussed e.g. genetically engineered organisms. I will always promote a balanced point of view as this is what is required by the examination board to access all marking points. 
Profile
I am a Head of Biology at an independent school based in the United Kingdom. I teach Biology to all levels and for many difference syllabuses. I have a background in international ecology and conservation work, prior to teaching.
