About the tutor

Aqsa Riaz completed an MPhil in biotechnology with a perfect 4.0 CGPA and publishes research in computational biology, including mutational analysis of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. She has spent more than 10 years in education, several of them as a section head responsible for mentoring teachers and designing inquiry-based curricula.

That leadership background shows in how carefully her lessons are sequenced. She teaches the IB the way it is meant to be taught, question first and evidence second, and guides students through internal assessments from proposal to final draft. Cambridge candidates get the same structure applied to past papers and mark schemes. Over 22,000 hours of live teaching sit behind the approach.

Education

Aqsa Riaz holds a Master of Philosophy in Biotechnology with a CGPA of 4.0 and a Bachelor of Science in Biotechnology with a CGPA of 3.9. She completed a six-month preparatory programme at Pazmany Peter Catholic University covering molecular biology, recombinant DNA technique, neuroscience and computational methods, and publishes in the Journal of Computational Biophysics and Chemistry.

Teaching style

She teaches science as enquiry, starting from a question and building the evidence a student needs to answer it.

  • Research-led teaching

    Published bioinformatics work brings current science into ordinary biology lessons.

  • IB pedagogy

    Section head experience of curriculum design informs how she runs inquiry-based learning.

  • Internal assessment support

    She guides IB candidates through the internal assessment from first proposal to final submission.

  • Exam technique

    Structured preparation works through past papers and mark schemes until answers are precise.

  • Blended methods

    Technology and formative assessment check understanding as the lesson runs, not weeks later.
