Meet the Tutor: Why Ayo Loves Science

by Ms. Ayo, our Biology and Environmental Science Tutor

Here’s a little truth most people don’t expect from a science teacher 👇I didn’t always love Biology.

In fact… I used to hate it.

Yes. Really.

The Turning Point 

Biology felt like:

• Too many notes

• Too much memorising

• Too little meaning

Until one day, it happened.

I realised science isn’t about cramming facts. It’s about understanding life; how things work, connect, fail, adapt, and grow.

Once I saw that, everything made sense!

Why I Teach Science the Way I Do

That experience shaped how I teach today.

I don’t believe students struggle because they’re “not science people.” They struggle because science is often taught without context, curiosity, or care.

So in my lessons, I focus on:

• Understanding before memorising

• Asking “why?” instead of rushing answers

• Making concepts visual, relatable, and real

• Building confidence, not fear

What Parents Should Know

If your child:

• Says “I hate science”

• Memorises but doesn’t understand

• Panics during tests

• Thinks they’re “just bad” at it

  
  

That doesn’t mean they can’t succeed.

It usually means they haven’t had the right support yet.

I teach science because I know what it feels like to sit on the other side…confused, frustrated, and disconnected.

And I also know how powerful it is when a child finally says: “Oh… I get it now!”

That moment never gets old.

If this sounds like the kind of learning experience you want for your child, you’re in the right place!
