Built around the individual student

Science, understood.

Every student approaches science with different experiences, strengths and goals. Some need to rebuild foundations or regain confidence; others want to deepen their understanding, refine examination skills or pursue ambitious academic targets.

At Auxesis Education, I tailor one-to-one sessions to the individual learner. I identify what they understand, explore what is getting in the way and facilitate meaningful progress through questioning, guided practice and active engagement.

My aim is to help students develop stronger scientific understanding, greater confidence and the ability to apply knowledge independently.

Less memorising. More understanding.

About Amanda

More than 25 years in science education.

I’m Amanda D’Souza, a science teacher and tutor with more than 25 years of experience in Canada and international schools. I am an Ontario Certified Teacher, hold Qualified Teacher Status in England, and have worked as an IB Biology Assistant Examiner since 2013, with experience assessing HL Paper 2 and Internal Assessments against IB criteria. I bring that experience to tutoring, but the relationship is still personal: I want to know the learner, not just the course they are taking.

Getting started

Tutoring starts with a conversation rather than a commitment.

How tutoring works

Getting started begins with a conversation. I'll discuss the student's course, current challenges and goals with the parent before arranging a free Meet & Greet with the student and parent together. If everyone feels Auxesis is a good fit, we'll agree on the first steps and begin.
