Chelsey

I am an experienced teacher, tutor and AQA Examiner, currently employed at an 'Outstanding' school in Buckinghamshire with 12 years experience. I hold a PGCE in Secondary Sciences from the world number 1 Institute of Education (UCL), and a 1st Class Honours degree in Biomedical Science. I also have experience within the research industry carrying out doctoral research for Diabetes UK, in addition to 10 years tutoring experience.
* Please see below for student reviews *

I am a bright, enthusiastic and young at heart teacher, always experimenting and trying out the newest creative teaching techniques to engage my students and build the excellent relationships I have with them. I choose to tutor in addition to my normal teaching job as my passion extends beyond the classroom. One on one sessions are particularly valuable in achieving excellent progression in Science.

I am able to tutor Biology, Chemistry and Physics up to GCSE and Biology A-Level.

I am willing to travel to students homes, or teach online.

Chelsey has been tutoring my daughter for a few weeks now, leading up to her GCSE's. She explains everything very well and has managed to get across topics that my daughter previously didn't understand. This has massively increased her confidence for the upcoming exams. I would highly recommend.

My daughter loves her tutor sessions with Chelsey and has been so much more motivated to learn since starting a month ago. I highly recommend her.

Absolutely amazing. Patient, kind and clever. Got both my girls through their Science GCSEs with good results

Tutoring Experience

Qualified teacher, having taught in the state sector for 8 years.
I have 7 years tutoring experience, and have built up a vast amount of good quality resources to either coach students through the exam season or to the general Science curriculum (key stage 2, 3, 4 and 5).

Resources I provide and have access to include;
. ExamPro - providing the most recent past paper questions.
. Detailed power points to aid teaching
. Online revision guides for all exam boards
. Animations to illustrate core concepts and processes
. Quiz's and games to assess learning throughout lessons and engage students

Experience with a wide range of exam boards including:
Edexcel
AQA
OCR
iGCSE

Having worked in pupil referral units and a wide variety of schools, I have lots of SEN teaching experience including ASD, EBD and ADHD. I am more than happy to help and support any kind of pupil and tailor their sessions accordingly :)

Tutoring Approach

** PLEASE NOTE for all IN PERSON tutoring sessions there is an extra £10 per hour charge **

During my tutoring sessions we will typically identify the students areas of weakness and focus on these to begin with.
** ONLINE LESSONS** - For all online lessons, I will email resources to the student beforehand, and will also email extra notes/ mark schemes post lesson where needed.

Working in a school I have access to the most up to date of resources from the exam boards allowing me to provide the following during sessions:

Past papers
Mark Schemes
Power points
Interactive animations
Revision materials
Homework sheets
Hand outs/revision notes
