What to expect from my lessons:
My classes are highly interactive as I ensure students are able to answer questions and think about the topic rather than just memorize the content. While I use powerpoint to structure my lessons, I like to write on my slides as I go and expect students to take notes. Homework for GCSE and A-level students will typically consist of practice exam problems; for university and adult learners I will typically assign reading recommendations tailored to their interests or to conversation arising during class.

Experience:
I have experience both with teaching in classrooms and one-on-one. Currently I provide tutorials for groups of MSc students in Clinical Neuroscience, and I previously taught and tutored students at KS3, GCSE, A-levels.
I have also done intensive crash courses for students to prep before their A-level exams, and can support students writing personal statements.

A bit about me:
Simply put, I'm a biologist! Throughout my career I have always been interested in how events at a molecular level can cause large-scale effects across organisms' physiology and behaviour. From viruses to rodents to humans, I'm fascinated by it all!
I am currently finishing my DPhil (PhD) at the University of Oxford, where I use RNA sequencing to study how genes associated with psychiatric disease and cardiovascular disease are regulated. Prior to this I completed an MSci in Cell Biology at UCL, where I did two research project: one about screening compounds to identify potential antivirals against poxviruses, and another about identifying genes involved with brain development in worms.
