Hi ! I am Arpita Gupta from Greater Noida. There is a great saying “Do what you love, Love what you do”. As studying is my hobby and gives me pleasure, it’s good to teach and understand how our next generation is growing and makes me upgraded. I am confident that I possess the necessary skills and qualifications to be an effective Biology teacher. As a highly motivated and knowledgeable science teacher with 9 years of teaching experience to middle ,secondary and senior secondary students I apply with enthusiasm for this role. I began my career as a middle school teacher in Shree Sanatan dharam Education center and
during that time I pursued my Bachelors of education ,and also qualified the Central Teaching Eligibility Test .I worked in CBSE and ICSE board schools for 7 years and then switched to BYJUs online teaching platform and joined the coalition as an online teacher.

Achievements :

• Served as a student coordinator in various technical and cultural inter college fest in undergraduate.
• Delivered various seminars on “Future & Scope Of Microbiology”.

The ISC Class 12 Biology is an elective subject that is a must-study for all students aspiring for medical science careers. Biology is a fascinating subject that is defined as the scientific study of living things. From the largest mammals to the microscopic amoeba, biology encompasses all living organisms and how they function. ISC Class 12 Biology is not everyone’s cup of tea and is mostly opted by students who want to pursue a career in the medical domain. Biology is essential for those looking to become a doctor, nurse, agriculturist, or forensic scientist.

• Recomended Audience:

  The audience of this course is students of Grade-12 from ICSE Board. All the Chapters are well designed and its coverage as per latest curriculum released by the board. Still Student have complete flexibility to enhance or modify the course coverage during the course of learning process with Teacher. We are expecting that students of Grade-12 should drive their classes with Teacher as per chapters mentioned and also as per syllabus of their school and applicable School district or Board.

• Pre-Requisite Requirement:

  For attending this course, prior knowledge of Grade-11 Biology is required, this course assumes that students have prior experience with all the topics of Biology of Grade-4. This is not an introductory class for absolute beginners on Biology of Grade-11! Participants should already be familiar with the basic ideas of the subject.
