Ashley G.

I am an experienced international educator and current Head of Secondary School with over 12 years of teaching experience in Biology, Environmental Science, and Mathematics across IB, IGCSE, and British curricula. As an IB-certified teacher and school leader, I specialise in helping students achieve top results through clear explanations, structured exam preparation, and personalised support tailored to individual learning styles. I have taught and mentored students from diverse international backgrounds, guiding many to outstanding examination outcomes while building their confidence and independent thinking skills. My approach combines academic rigour with patience, encouragement, and a genuine commitment to helping every student reach their full potential.

I have over 12 years of international teaching experience across IB, IGCSE, and British curricula, specialising in Biology, Environmental Science, and Mathematics. I have taught students from Key Stage 3 through to IBDP and A Level, consistently supporting strong academic outcomes and examination success. Alongside classroom teaching, I have held leadership roles including Head of Biology, Head of Science, EdTech Coordinator, and Head of Secondary School, giving me a deep understanding of curriculum design, assessment, and whole-school academic improvement.

Learner-centred instruction – I tailor lessons to each student’s strengths, gaps, and goals to maximise understanding and confidence.

Inquiry-based learning – I encourage students to ask questions, explore concepts deeply, and develop critical thinking skills rather than memorising content.

Differentiated instruction – I adapt explanations, resources, and practice tasks to support varying ability levels, including high achievers and those needing additional support.

Exam-focused coaching – I explicitly teach exam technique, mark scheme analysis, and structured responses to help students achieve top grades in IB and IGCSE assessments.
