Cambridge IGCSE Biology develops that we offer at torus uses a set of transferable skills
including handling data, practical problem-solving and applying
the scientific method. Learners develop relevant attitudes, such as
concern for accuracy and precision, objectivity, integrity, enquiry, initiative and inventiveness. They acquire the
essential scientific skills required for progression to further studies or employment.
Our approach in Cambridge IGCSE Biology at torus encourages learners to be:
confident, interested in learning about science, questioning ideas and using scientific language to communicate.
their views and opinions
responsible, working methodically and safely when working alone or collaboratively with others
reflective, learning from their experiences and interested in scientific issues that affect the individual, the community and the environment
innovative, solving unfamiliar problems confidently and creatively
engaged, keen to develop scientific skills, being curious about scientific principles and their application in the world.

This is Dr. Khurram Shehzad Arain having over 10 years experience of teaching students from multiple streams including Cambridge International Examination,Edexcel & AQA. My exeprtise cover the criteria required for IGCSE,GCSE,GCSE,As & A-Levels Biology. My teaching methodology is diverse that involves use of the modern teaching tools including Pdf Annotator,One Note,Digital Notebooks,Google Classrooms etc. My students will have approach to the finest resources, past paper worksheets both yearly and topicals.The students will have a link to their specific notebooks that can be open with a single click anywhere in the World with the fear of files getting lost.I teach my students upto the standard required by the particular examining body together with developing a firm grip on the key fundamental topics of Biology including Human and Plants anatomy,physiology,biochemistry,environmental Biology with development practical approach on biostatistics,planning investigations,graphical eloborations,data collection and representation.The overall goal is to not only polish the studnets in term of their subject knowledge but also to score the highest marks in the Examination.
