Bachelor degree in Biochemistry, Master's in Biotechnology, Expert Instructor in A/As level / O level / IGCSE &GCSE / MCAT / AP

I am an online science teacher and tutor of many years' experience. I have a passion to teach and assist pupils with their studies in a comprehensive manner to help them achieve the top grades.

Whether you are someone who is struggling with a subject or someone who wants to improve their grades for GCSEs, A-levels, the International Baccalaureate (Diploma Sciences), or their university place, I offer a bespoke tutoring experience.

I hold a bachelor's degree (upper second) in biochemistry and a Master of Philosophy research degree in biotechnology. In addition, I hold a PGCE and am a qualified teacher registered with the DfE.

I also have an enhanced DBS check, so you can be assured that I am "child safe."

During my career as a teacher, I was the author of numerous teaching schemes that were commended by OFSTED.

When I taught A-level biology, I had a 100% success rate in gaining pass grades for my pupils, most at “A” or higher.


All my tutoring is customized to meet the needs of the individual pupil, as everyone's level, background, and ability is different.


My tutoring methods include question and answer, working through questions and problems collaboratively, giving extra and enhanced exercises for more pupil practice and to deepen understanding, and, where appropriate, the use of personalized presentations to give information to pupils, which then provides them with a “personalized text-book” to help them understand aspects of the subject with which they have struggled.


I believe the key to long-term retention and understanding lies in encouraging the pupil to work out a problem for themselves from first principles and engaging them through questions in order to enable them to discover the solution, rather than using a “spoon-feeding” approach. In other words, I generally prefer Socratic to didactic teaching methods to create a strong foundation from which the pupil may tackle more complicated or previously unseen problems.


I work with my pupils on both subject-specific performance issues and overall academic development. In particular:

Knowledge and Application:

To identify any gaps in knowledge, to enable full understanding of the syllabus material and how to apply that to examination questions, including the correct use of technical vocabulary.
