I you are lacking confidence and struggling with biology, I am here to help ensure you reach your goals and stay calm during your exams. Lessons can be tailored depending on your needs, ability and preferred learning style. I am passionate about biology (and science in general), however I know that sometimes it can be challenging and dull. I want to make your exams easier by helping you to enjoy biology. Previous students of mine have loved how I bring in real-life scenarios and give context to the biology we learn- I also find this makes it easier to remember!

Typically, I create a lesson using diagrams, images and videos supplemented with basic text. We work through the content together, adding detail and creating some notes. Then we review the content by completing questions and applying knowledge.

I like to review previous content (e.g. from the last session) to keep the science fresh in your mind. Furthermore, reviewing more fundamental topics prior to a more applied or complex session enables us to work through the content at a pace that suits you and ensures you have the background information you need to feel confident when answering questions. This can be through short quizzes and/or questions.

At the end of each lesson we will clarify what you need from your next session and I can prepare accordingly. I can also direct you to some helpful videos, websites and podcasts for you to use during revision in the meantime.

I look forward to working with you!
