1 Review

I am an enthusiastic and experienced Biology teacher. My students have got the best mark in my country on several occasions. 99 per cent of my students achieve A*, A, B and C.
My aim.is that my students find biology interesting, relating the theory to everyday life phenomena. I encourage deep, long term learning and focus on skills needed to succeed in international exams.
I adapt my classes to different learning style to get the most from my students.
We use different resources in order to reinforce the skills and knowledge needed by each student.

3 A*S, ONE IN 3 MONTHS - A wonderful tutor, something that we as sisters can finally agree on!

Evelin
Marcela is a fantastic tutor! She is so friendly and nice. She is also very experienced so she teaches and explains concepts very well. I like how she has many resources like PowerPoint to help you learn. I like how she always makes sure that you understand and asks if you have any questions. She's also very dedicated to your learning. I really enjoyed having her as my tutor! With her help, I got an A* in CIE IGCSE Biology 0610 and Environmental Management 0680.

I had to self-study CIE IGCSE Environmental Management 0680 in three months, in the end receiving an A*, which I don't believe would have been possible without Marcella's help! Out of the numerous tutors I've had she is ultimately the best, both in terms of knowledgeability, character and teaching ability. She excels in personalising her sessions, accommodating and meeting students' needs, as well as adapting her teaching method to suit that of the learner. In addition, she is also the friendliest, most benevolent and personable tutor I've ever had, and every session was truly a pleasure. I only wish I could have her for all my subjects - thank you Marcella for everything! :)

Many thanks,
Mariann, Angelika and Evelin L.
