Experience:
I have experience tutoring Biology, Chemistry and Physics to students from year 7 to 11, making sure they are prepared to take their GCSEs and that they achieve their aspirational grades. I've also had experience being a mentor/life coach for students who weren't performing well academically, where I helped younger students organise their studies, extracurricular activities and social lives to enhance their academic performance and overall quality of life. I have also worked as a teaching assistant at a school for children with special needs, where I gained valuable experience in tailoring educational approaches to meet the diverse needs of students. This role often required me to lead classes, where I developed my ability to present complex concepts in an accessible and engaging manner.

My lessons!:
My experience undergoing GCSE’s in 2019 (achieving seven 9s, two 8s and an A*) also means that I have firsthand experience of successful revision techniques that can be applied for a wide range of subjects. Achieving top GCSE grades not only relies on understanding the subject content, but also depends on mastering exam technique and identifying what the questions are truly asking for. This is a significant part of what I teach, as well as ensuring that my students have an in-depth understanding and memory of the subject content. Equally, my lessons are fun and engaging, so that my students don't think of tutoring as a chore! I specifically tailor my teaching material for each student to enjoy learning as much as possible, depending on the areas of study they want to improve on and what learning methods work best for them.
