BigBear Academy
I am a science teacher with a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certificate, specializing in helping students understand complex scientific concepts in clear, simple, and exam-focused ways.
I work extensively with high school students, including ESL learners, and I understand a common problem many students face:
they study hard, read the textbook, and still lose marks because they don’t answer questions the way examiners expect.
My teaching approach focuses on:
Cause-and-effect thinking (what exams actually test)
Clear explanations using simple, accessible language
Highlighting keywords and structures that earn marks
Breaking down confusing topics into logical, step-by-step ideas
Rather than rewriting textbooks, I design notes that:
Target frequently tested exam concepts
Address common student mistakes
Show students how to structure answers, not just memorize content
My background in science education combined with TEFL training allows me to explain biology concepts in a way that is:
Easy to follow for ESL students
Precise enough for high-scoring exam answers
Efficient for students who want results without information overload
These notes are designed to help students study smarter, gain confidence, and improve exam performance, whether they are preparing for unit tests or final exams.
