Amanda

I am a student focused friendly, and very experienced Science teacher of year KS3, yr 10 & yr 11 Biology, Chemistry and Physics. I have been a leader of Science and an AQA exam marker. I help students develop skill and knowledge so that they are equipped to recall and apply knowledge as well as decode exam questions toget the best grades they possibly can.
I offer in person or online lessons and will build students confidence, knowledge and understanding of all aspects of the Triple OR Combined science curriculum. I support students to develop the essential skills required to understand and answer exam. questions to gain more marks. I will also offer practice questions and quizzes to help with revision.For online lessons I have software that allows me to share my screen to show my teaching resources. Students do not need to have cameras on.
I also have some experience in supporting the pathio-physiology learning as part of the nursing degree.

I will happily teach/ support adults who want to learn more about science for their own satisfaction or as brain training.

Tutoring Experience

I have more than 28 years experience of teaching Combined Science and Separate Sciences to KS3 and 4 (aged 11 to16) students. I have been an exam marker for the AQA and also led Science in several schools This has given me an excellent insight into how to gain the higher grades I am friendly, enthusiastic, dedicated, knowledgeable and approachable. My experience as an exam marker for the AQA alongside attending exam board training and marking has provided me with insight into how to prepare for science exams and help students learn to answer questions in GCSE exams to gain as many marks as possible.

Tutoring Approach

Friendly, approachable and student focused. I am keen to help students grow in confidence and to increase subject knowledge and vocabulary. We will also explicitly practice answering exam questions and how to effectively revise in order to achieve or exceed target grades. Practice exam questions and revision quizzes will be provided for additional practice at no extra charge.
I can teach in the evenings most days .Also daytime on Wednesdays and Fridays.
I can offer weekend morning sessions
