About Dr. Elena Vasquez
Dr. Elena Vasquez supports IB Diploma students in Chemistry, Biology and Environmental Systems and Societies. Her profile combines subject-specialist teaching with examiner insight, helping students understand what a strong scientific answer needs to show.
Lessons begin with the student's current work, recent assessments and difficult topics. Elena then focuses lesson time on the exact concepts, calculations or command-word skills that are limiting progress, rather than working through the course in a generic order.
Students practise applying ideas to structured questions, data analysis and exam-style tasks during the lesson. Each session ends with a clear next priority, so revision stays focused and progress is easier for students and parents to follow.
