I’m passionate about science, so I endeavour to make lessons fun, engaging, and most of all accessible to students at any confidence level.


I would start with a conversation around strengths and weaknesses, both those identified by the student and those identified by past academic work.


I teach primarily through visual and auditory mediums, such as diagrams and rephrasing content students find difficult. But I also find it highly effective to do both guided and independent past questions, papers, and homework-like tasks.


While I primarily tutor biology for both GCSE and A-level, I am also able to tutor physics and chemistry at GCSE level. My knowledge of these sciences can prove useful in the teaching of another, as there are subjects in one that either link to/affect the topic in another. I take a relatively comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to tutoring where appropriate. I want a student to understand why something happens, not just what happens. This makes effective students for later life, and brilliant scientists in both academic and potential career settings. It also increases knowledge and confidence in a subject, and can be very useful in exam settings.


My tutoring style centres more around the student than the traditional schooling system can allow for, and can be either student-led or based on identified gaps in knowledge. While my lessons are reasonably informal, as I find it the best way to ease discomfort and increase active engagement in learning, I would be proposing work to do outside of tutoring sessions. Be it: a past paper, creating a short presentation on a topic covered, recording audio for revision etc. As this helps me to identify a students learning style, and also provides opportunities to apply knowledge learned, which is proven to be highly beneficial for retention.

If you think I could be a good fit please feel free to drop me a message and we can discuss your needs and expectations further.

While not included in my profile yet as it is pending, I do have a DBS check that you can request to see if needed. I have a lot of experience assisting and supporting young people, having volunteered for both the RAF Air Cadets, and Riding for the Disabled.
