About the tutor

Aliza Jafri teaches Biology and General Science with an active research career behind her. She is a researcher at a Centre for Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research, working in cancer biology, and is currently completing an MPhil in Pharmacology.

That research background shapes how she teaches. A Microsoft Innovative Educator Expert since 2021, she has taught international students across the UK, UAE, USA and Canada, and specialises in making difficult biological concepts land for learners who have found them impenetrable elsewhere. The result is a lesson that ties the syllabus to work being done in laboratories now.

Teaching style

Aliza's method is student-focused, technology-integrated and informed by the research she is actively doing.

  • Research brought into the syllabus

    Current findings are woven into curriculum topics, so students see where the textbook content actually came from.

  • Educational technology that earns its place

    Digital tools are used to make abstract processes visible, not for novelty.

  • Differentiated instruction

    Teaching is adjusted to the individual learner rather than delivered at one pace to everyone.

  • Real-world application

    Classroom material is connected to live scientific work and discovery, which is what makes it stick.

  • Conceptual understanding first

    Practical examples and critical thinking come before memorisation, so knowledge transfers to unfamiliar exam questions.
