Andrew

I am a dedicated biology teacher and Head of Science with six years in secondary schools, having previously worked as a paramedic for the London Ambulance Service. My background in frontline healthcare allows me to bring real-life context into the classroom, helping students understand how biology connects to the world around them. I am passionate about teaching and love finding creative ways to make lessons exciting and meaningful, sparking curiosity and inspiring my students to explore the subject in depth.

Tutoring Experience

I have an in-depth knowledge of all major exam boards, and specification's with a particular focus on AQA for both Combined Science and Triple Science. This deep understanding allows me to tailor my lessons and revision strategies to meet the exact requirements of each exam, ensuring my students are well-prepared and confident. My thorough approach and clear focus on exam success have consistently resulted in a high success rate, with students achieving excellent grades and often surpassing their target levels.

Tutoring Approach

My approach to online tutoring is all about building students’ confidence and making lessons clear, engaging, and relevant. I use real-life examples and interactive tools to explain complex topics in a way that’s easy to understand. From the start, I introduce exam-style questions so students become familiar with how to apply their knowledge and tackle different question types. I encourage them to ask questions and think for themselves, helping them feel comfortable and capable each session. By keeping lessons dynamic and focused on their individual needs, I help students stay motivated, enjoy biology, and achieve the best results they can.
