Profile

Sarumathi R S teaches Biology and Science online at Shrividhya Institute, up to Class 10, for students following Cambridge IGCSE, Pearson Edexcel, IB MYP, CBSE and ICSE. She is a PhD scholar in Zoology at Bishop Heber College, holds an M.Sc. in Zoology — first rank in her college and fourth in the university — and has around three years of teaching experience across international curricula.

Her teaching goes beyond textbooks and memorisation. Through clear explanations, diagrams, real-life examples and interactive questions, she encourages students to think critically, ask questions and apply their knowledge to new situations.

Alongside teaching, she has worked in academic content creation and assessment. She has prepared IB MYP question papers aligned with Criteria A–D, developed marking schemes, evaluated student responses and prepared performance reports. That assessment experience is what she uses to show students what a question is really asking for, and how to express an answer so it earns the marks.

She aims to create a supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, exploring ideas and becoming confident, independent learners.

Classes are live and online, either 1-on-1 or in a small batch of two or three students working at the same level.

I have had the pleasure of having Saru as the Science teacher for my 13-year-old daughter since the start of the year. We wanted more structure in my daughter's learning.

Saru has been instrumental in providing this structure. She is a conscientious teacher who makes sure that new topics are introduced in a manner that the student finds interesting and not too onerous. She uses plenty of audio-visual tools that make the learning experience interesting and interactive. I also appreciate the fact that she encourages the student to perform practical activities and experiments which provide first hand insight into the learning experience. Saru has an incredibly positive attitude towards teaching. She does regular assessments making sure that the student has grasped the subject matter correctly and provides constructive feedback which helps the student develop their learning further.

My daughter loves her classes with Saru and looks forward to learning something new every time!

Respectfully,
Parent of a Science student
