IB Biology teacher with 6+ years of international experience, specialising in MYP Biology, DP IA practical skills, Lab reports and personalised online learning support
About
Hello! My name is Roksana, and I am an experienced IB Biology teacher with a Master of Science in Biology, a teaching licence, and over seven years of teaching experience in international education.
I currently teach MYP Biology (Grades 9–10) and Middle School Science at Dresden International School in Germany. In addition to classroom teaching, I support DP Biology and Chemistry practical investigations (IA) by preparing laboratory equipment and guiding students in developing strong experimental and scientific thinking skills.
I am passionate about helping students understand Biology through inquiry, critical thinking, and real-world application rather than memorisation. My lessons are personalised, engaging, and adapted to each student's learning style and goals.
I work closely with Learning Support to create inclusive learning experiences and have designed Universal Design for Learning (UDL) resources recognised by my school as examples of effective practice. I also place a strong emphasis on the IB Approaches to Learning (ATL) skills, helping students become confident, independent learners.
I offer online tutoring in English, German, and Polish for IB MYP Biology, exam preparation, and scientific investigation skills. My goal is to help students build confidence, deepen their understanding, and achieve their full potential in Biology.

Teaching methods
My teaching approach is student-centred, inquiry-based, and tailored to each learner's individual needs. I believe students learn Biology best when they understand concepts rather than memorising facts. I encourage curiosity, critical thinking, and scientific reasoning through discussion, real-world examples, and guided problem-solving.
As an experienced IB Biology teacher, I integrate the IB Approaches to Learning (ATL) skills into my lessons, helping students develop confidence, independence, and effective study strategies. I also have extensive experience creating inclusive learning materials using Universal Design for Learning (UDL), ensuring that every student can engage with the subject in a way that suits their learning style.
Whether preparing for MYP assessments, DP Biology examinations, or strengthening practical and scientific investigation skills, I adapt each lesson accordin

Getting to know her
Outside the classroom, I enjoy hiking and spending time in nature, reading about biology and education, and exploring new teaching ideas. I also enjoy gardening, cooking, and travelling with my family. I believe staying curious and continuing to learn helps me become a better teacher and inspires my students to develop the same mindset.
Education is not the filling of a bucket, but the lighting of a fire.
