GCSE and A-level Biology Tutor. My focus is on creating engaging lessons with an emphasis on discussion rather than instruction.

My approach is different from that commonly taught in schools and universities. I believe learning should be derived from discussion, not instruction, and I always try to elicit responses and ideas from my students first and foremost. I have found this approach to be far more engaging for my students, as we arrive to answers together having drawn on the knowledge and logic that they already possess. This approach also makes the process of memorisation far less taxing, as we work from first principles to come to our conclusions. Solidifying the foundations of my students' biological understanding and placing everything we learn within a wider context is my priority. In this way I hope to ensure that learning becomes less about memorising terms and more about understanding the processes and systems behind them.
