Sam Powell

With a 2.1 degree in Biological Sciences and 4 years of in-school science teaching experience, I provide high-quality, personalized tutoring designed to help students of all abilities succeed. My approach ensures that each lesson is tailored to your specific needs and delivered at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Before we begin, I assess your current level of understanding, which helps me to differentiate the content and ensure that lessons are both engaging and effective.

I have experience teaching across a wide range of abilities from KS3 to KS4, so whether you're looking to reinforce foundational knowledge or tackle more challenging topics, I’m here to help. My lessons are well-structured and make use of clear, visually supportive presentations using PowerPoint or Google Slides. We start each session with engaging starter questions to stimulate your thinking, followed by a focused main lesson where we dive into the key content. I then wrap up with a plenary to review and consolidate everything we’ve covered.

As a teacher, I understand the importance of curriculum-specific learning, particularly for GCSEs. I ensure we cover essential key terms and required practicals, which are vital for securing extra marks in exams. This focus helps students not only improve their understanding but also build the confidence needed to perform well under exam conditions.

I am passionate about teaching science and take great satisfaction in helping students improve their grades and reach their full potential. I’m excited to work with you and support your journey to success in science!
