Experience
I am a dedicated and patient science tutor with over six years of experience teaching in tutoring centers and as a private tutor. I specialize in Biology and Integrated Sciences, guiding students through various curricula, including SAT, IGCSE, A-Level and IBDP. Over the years, I have helped over 90% of my IGCSE students achieving level 8 or above, with my A-level students securing grade A in Biology. My experience working with students from a diverse background (from elementary school students to college students) has allowed me to develop effective teaching strategies tailored to different academic needs.
Teaching Methodology
I believe that every student can excel with the right approach and support. My teaching style is structured, engaging and goal-oriented, focusing on simplifying complex topics, reinforcing key concepts and teaching smart test-taking strategies. I provide tailored study notes that are concise and visually engaging, richly supplemented with diagrams and extensive practice questions to ensure students develop confidence and strong problem-solving skills.
Why Choose Nicole?
What sets me apart is my patience and commitment to my students' success. I take pride in creating customized learning materials that not only break down difficult concepts but also make learning enjoyable and effective. Designing my own notes is one of my favourite aspects of tutoring, which it feels like presenting my own artwork while helping students excel academically. I also understand the common struggles that students are facing that, I provide smart strategies to help them overcome the challenges, ultimately boosting both their confidence and performance.

Other Interests
Outside of tutoring, I am passionate about music and the outdoors.
I love to sing and play the piano, which has helped me develop vocal endurance for long teaching sessions. I also enjoy recording and mixing music, which hones my patience and attention to details ---- the skills I apply in tutoring.
My love for camping and hiking allows me to connect science with nature while staying active. Hiking, especially, helps me maintain my health and stamina, ensuring I'm always at my best for my students.
