30+ years experience OCR A level Biology Specialist

I've helped thousands of students get the grade they need in OCR A level Biology.

Your needs will be individual to you.

I make no assumptions. We work systematically to identify what YOU need to do.

It might be that you need to review the whole of the 1st unit.
It might be that you need lots of individualised feedback on 6 mark questions.
It might be that you need help understanding the maths in genetics.
You might need help to get all those words into your memory in a way that means they come back out when you need them.
You might need help to write precise, concise and accurate answers.
You need help to slow down and actually read the questions!

We will quickly establish a realistic and ambitious to do list. We'll review the list every week. Every week you'll feel more in control and more confident that your target grade is in sight.

We'll work to identify the study habits that work best for YOU.

In lessons you'll be showing me what you understand, and where you need to do some more work.

It won't be 'death by powerpoint'. Ever.

Our lessons are always 1:1.

You'll be speaking at least as much as me, and as we get to know each other better and your strengths and weaknesses, you'll be doing most of the talking.

The advantage of 1:1 tutoring over classroom teaching is that I can give you my full attention and use my decades of exam board specific experience to identify what you need to do to get better.

Our lessons are always about finding difficulties and coming up with a simple plan to fix them and then checking our plans have worked.

We leave nothing to chance.
