I am a qualified teacher and have taught in state and independent secondary schools in London. I tutor Biology at IB, as well as GCSE and A Level. I hold a BSc in Biochemistry from Newcastle University, and MRes in Chemical Research from UCL and Birbeck, University of London, a PGCE in Chemistry from KCL, and a PhD in Cardiovascular Biochemistry and Medicine from KCL. After completing my PGCE, I taught in a variety of secondary schools across London, working in both the state and independent sectors. I have since developed extensive experience teaching undergraduate and postgraduate students at King’s College London, while completing a PhD in Cardiovascular Biochemistry. Alongside my academic work, I remain committed to tutoring Biology and Chemistry at GCSE, A-level and International Baccalaureate level. I also support students preparing for university admissions tests and interviews.

- IB Biology
I am an experienced Biology tutor and qualified Biology teacher with more than 25 years in education. I specialise in Biology and have a strong track record of helping students achieve top grades. I hold a PGCE in Secondary Biology from the University of Oxford and a BSc (Hons) in Biomedical Sciences from the University of Bradford. I have worked as Head of Science, Head of Sixth Form, and Director of Teaching and Learning across high-performing independent and state schools. I also provide UCAS preparation for students applying to study Medicine, Veterinary Science and Dentistry. My approach is structured and methodical, with a strong emphasis on developing both secure subject knowledge and effective examination technique. Rather than relying on memorisation, I help students understand biological concepts in depth and apply their knowledge confidently to unfamiliar questions. In lessons, I use targeted questioning, model high-quality answers and provide structured examination practice. I tailor each programme to the student’s strengths, knowledge gaps and learning style, ensuring that they feel appropriately challenged while continuing to build confidence. My feedback is honest and constructive, and I work closely with students and parents to support consistent progress. My teaching style is firm but kind. I create a focused and supportive environment in which students are encouraged to think deeply, take ownership of their learning and become increasingly independent. My aim is not only to improve examination results, but also to develop resilient, self-assured learners who feel in control of their academic journey.

Reviews for Our Tutoring

★★★★★ ★★★★★
We are very grateful for the support our daughter received during the RGS exam preparation process. Rachelle was incredibly patient and calm, which made a big difference in reducing exam stress. She has a wonderful way with children and created a very supportive learning environment. At the same time, she provided clear structure and well-organised materials that helped our daughter feel confident and prepared. We truly appreciate her guidance and would highly recommend her to other families preparing for entrance exams.

We had a really positive experience with Duke’s Tutoring and their affiliated school Devonshire Prep. A year ago our son was attending a French bilingual school and had large gaps in his maths knowledge, along with zero exposure to the reading comprehension, writing, verbal reasoning, and non-verbal reasoning expectations typical of top UK independent schools. With Duke’s help, we put together a structured plan. He did an intensive summer “boot camp” programme and then spent just one term at Devonshire Prep (an affiliate school of theirs that they recommended) to do the final preparation for his 11+ exams. We were so happy with the results! He received offers from 4 of the 8 schools he applied to — including Habs (where he’ll be starting next year), UCS, and Mill Hill. What impressed me most was how knowledgeable Duke’s tutors are about the entire 11+ process. They clearly understand the roadmap and know how to efficiently help children close gaps quickly and build the skills these exams require. We’re extremely grateful for their support and would happily recommend them to other families navigating the 11+ journey!

We had an excellent experience with Tania, who tutored my daughter in English and Verbal Reasoning for the 11+ exams. Her approach was highly personalized, ensuring my daughter’s learning was tailored to her strengths and areas for improvement. She was always approachable and took the time to discuss progress and future plans every 2-3 months, which helped us stay on track. Tania was incredibly honest about which schools were aspirational and which were realistic, providing clear guidance throughout the process. Her detailed feedback arrived within an hour of each lesson, and the monthly reports with specific targets kept us well-informed. Most importantly, she is a genuinely good human being—kind, patient, and deeply invested in her students’ success. Thanks to her support, my daughter received offers from her top three school choices. I highly recommend Tania to any parent looking for a dedicated and transparent tutor

We had Yasmin tutoring our 10yo in readiness for her SATs, and I can’t speak highly enough of her as a tutor. She not only brought Katie up a level academically, but also instilled greater confidence in her. Thank you Yasmin and Dukes Tutoring..!

I cannot recommend JK Educate enough! My daughter was preparing for the 11+ exams, and we were looking for a tutor who could provide focused, personalized support. Tania was absolutely amazing! She quickly understood my daughter’s strengths and areas for improvement, tailoring each lesson to suit her needs. Not only was Tania knowledgeable and professional, but she also made the sessions engaging and fun, which helped build my daughter’s confidence. Thanks to Tania’s guidance, my daughter went into the 11+ exams feeling well-prepared and calm. We are so grateful for the incredible support from both Tania and the team at JK Educate. The progress my daughter made was beyond our expectations, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results! My daughter has received offers from four top schools and 4 academic scholarships. Thank you, Tania and JK Educate, for your dedication and hard work. You truly made a difference in our journey!

The IB Biology Syllabus
IB Biology explores life at every scale, from molecules to the biosphere. Students can study the subject at Standard Level (SL) or Higher Level (HL). Our IB Biology tutors can support students across every part of the syllabus.
Practical and investigative work is central. The curriculum includes practicals, an interdisciplinary collaborative sciences project, and an independently completed scientific investigation, commonly known as the Internal Assessment or IA.
The syllabus is organised around four interconnected themes:
Unity and diversity covers the characteristics and variety of living systems. Topics include water, nucleic acids, cell structure, viruses, the diversity and classification of organisms, evolution, speciation and biodiversity conservation.
Form and function examines how biological structures enable living organisms to function. Students study carbohydrates, lipids and proteins, alongside membranes, organelles, specialised cells, gas exchange, transport systems, movement, adaptation and ecological niches.
Interaction and interdependence considers the relationships within and between living systems. This includes enzymes and metabolism, cellular respiration, photosynthesis, chemical and neural signalling, the integration of body systems, defence against disease, populations, communities and the transfer of energy and matter.
Continuity and change focuses on how biological information is passed on and how living systems change over time. Topics include DNA replication, protein synthesis, mutations, gene editing, cell division, reproduction, inheritance, homeostasis, natural selection, sustainability and climate change.
