Shiji J.

With over 30 years of experience in teaching Biology, I specialize in guiding students from grades 10 through 12, as well as NEET aspirants, to achieve academic success. I hold an MSc and a B.Ed, and my teaching journey has been enriched by 22 years at Ansar English School Perumpilavu, where I had the privilege of mentoring 11th and 12th graders. Additionally, I spent eight years with Aakash, focusing on NEET Biology, and also contributed to Riju and PSK classes, where I helped students tackle the complexities of competitive exams. My dedication to teaching has been recognized with a Teacher Excellence Award from Smriti Irani, an honor that I cherish and strive to uphold through my work every day.

My classes are structured to make Biology both accessible and engaging. Whether it’s cellular biology, genetics, or ecology, I emphasize conceptual understanding and application. Through interactive online sessions lasting one hour, I encourage students to dive into the subject, ask questions, and explore ideas critically. Each session is designed to foster a collaborative learning environment, where students feel empowered to actively participate and build their confidence in the subject.

I use a digital whiteboard to visually represent complex concepts, breaking them down into easy-to-understand explanations that resonate with students. My teaching materials, developed from years of experience, are crafted to support various learning needs. These resources include summaries, diagrams, and practice questions that enable students to thoroughly understand and retain each topic. For NEET aspirants, I place special focus on exam-oriented techniques and strategies to help them excel in high-stakes competitive settings.

My teaching philosophy is rooted in the belief that a strong foundation in Biology can open doors to numerous career paths, from medicine to research. I aim to make each class a stepping stone towards that goal, equipping students with the knowledge and skills they need for academic and personal growth. My priority is not just to teach but to inspire curiosity and a passion for learning that extends beyond the classroom.

Having worked in diverse educational settings, I am committed to providing a high standard of teaching that is adaptable and student-focused. Each lesson is more than just a lecture; it’s an interactive experience designed to cultivate a deep appreciation for Biology and prepare students for future academic challenges.
