Hi! My name is Alex and I am an Graduate BSc Human Biology Student and part-time tutor.

I have always had an interest in the sciences , healthcare and medicine, but it wasn't always an easy ride for me! I spent extensive time researching into different learning strategies in order to help me study and remember information - it certainly paid off thought my degree.

My own learning journey has inspired me to share my learning strategies and academic knowledge with others as a tutor. M aim is that no two lessons are the same, and I appreciate that learning styles, interests and goals will differ between students. I take time to consider what your goals are and put in the effort to ensure that they are met - no matter your level! I teach a variety of age groups and levels up to GCSE, so whether you are just starting out, I can help you to pass those exams and get where you need to be.


Currently, I tutor:

Secondary school Chemistry and Biology.

GCSE Chemistry

GCSE Biology

I like to spend my first lesson with a student getting to know them - their likes and dislikes, their areas of weakness, and what their goals are within their subject. This usually gives me a good idea of how to structure upcoming lessons.

Active recall is something which carries great weight in my lessons as research shows it is the best way to learn long-term. As such, my lessons always begin with a starter activity based on information taught in previous lessons to prevent students from forgetting. I then move on to teaching the topic at hand, using verbal descriptions, demonstrations on the screen, and questions for the student. The student will get to answer questions created by myself throughout the lesson, before attempting some exam questions at the end. Overall, this lesson plan takes one hour. This approach has proven to lead to great exam results. However - I adjust each lesson to fit the student at hand, so don't be put off if this isn't for you!
