Succeed in IB Biology & French Bac SVT | Senior Examiner, 20+ years of expertise

About

Having taught IB Biology and Sciences de la Vie et de la Terre for over twenty years, I have devoted the majority of my career to supporting students in demanding academic environments, particularly within the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme and the French education system. As a Senior IB Examiner for nearly 15 years, I have precise knowledge of examiners' expectations and assessment criteria, which allows me to prepare my students in a strategic and effective way.

Teaching experience

With over twenty years of teaching experience, I have worked within both the International Baccalaureate and French education systems, teaching biology and life sciences at high school level. I have extensive experience preparing students for high-stakes examinations, including the IB Diploma Programme and the French Baccalauréat.
My work has included curriculum planning, laboratory teaching, exam preparation and academic mentoring. As an IB examiner and senior teacher, I am well versed in assessment criteria and international academic standards, which allows me to strategically guide students towards strong academic results.
My private tutoring is highly personalised: I identify each student's strengths and gaps, clarify complex concepts, and develop solid analytical and methodological skills.
In addition to classroom teaching, I have contributed to teacher training, curriculum coordination and the supervision of student research projects, ensuring rigorous academic standards and continuous pedagogical improvement.

Teaching methods

My teaching approach is based on scientific rigour, deep understanding of concepts and the development of independence. I pay particular attention to methodology: analysing data, structuring reasoning, arguing with precision and managing time during exams. In this way, I help Higher Level and Standard Level students in the IBDP as well as French Bac students develop routines that become the skills necessary to succeed in their exams.
Support for IB students also extends to the Internal Assessment and the Extended Essay.
Passionate about biology and about passing on knowledge, I support each student with rigour and kindness, helping them gain confidence and improve performance. My goal is clear: to turn academic potential into concrete, lasting results.
