PhD student tutoring at all levels for Biology, maths and sciences.

The most important way to learn anything with science is an understanding of the basics and then building upwards. I have helped with tutoring primary school level while I was in sixth form and while at university I have helped teach first and second-year students.

It depends on the individual student what works: memorisation techniques, diagrams or them teaching you back. (I've even had experience acting out photosynthesis cycles has helped some students)

Typically I would advise for sessions to be an hour a week but more or other timings could be organised. I'm also happy to do one-off sessions on a specific topic, especially helpful for students in the run-up to exams.

It is important to me that the learning is actually enjoyable, at school I had my fair share of struggles with fun subjects when the teaching style was boring. I would base my lesson plans around the current curriculum with a specific aim of following specifications that can be forgotten at school. At A level or GCSE top grades are hit with extra information so for those students, I would take time over the parts they enjoy most and expand their knowledge to aim for those high marks.

Many tutors and teachers will supply revision materials from exams but it's much more important to help students adapt their own to what they need.
