Dilan

I am a fully qualified and current teacher of all all sciences (biology, chemistry and physics) in a secondary school to GCSE Level. I have previously taught A Level Biology and have tutored for 9 years to students of varying abilities, and seen grade improvements for both GCSE and A Level students. I have been able to do this because I receive regular information from exam boards on exam technique and feedback from previous years, making me a great tutor for developing exam technique. Combined with my degree in Biological Sciences (Neuroscience), I have the perfect knowledge base to help my students reach their full potential.

I aim to tutor in a manner to ensure my pupils get the best grade they possibly can and I personalise all my teaching techniques to my individual students' needs. I use a variety of techniques that can help build confidence by covering topics already taught in schools, as well as building mastery of these topics through regular practice and feedback.

I look forward to you getting in contact with me, and helping my students do the best they possibly can!

Tutoring Experience

I am currently a science teacher within the Leicester area in a secondary school.

I have taught Year 11 last academic year, and am teaching three Year 11 classes this year as well as other GCSE classes.

Their overall grade improvement score was +0.44, with individual students ranging from +1 to +2.5.

Previously to this I taught both Year 12 and Year 13 classes on various placements.

I have tutored GCSE Science for 5 years with a variety of different students, throughout university and my A Levels.

I have a PGCE level 7 from the University of Leicester, and aim to complete my masters in education very soon.

Tutoring Approach

My teaching approach is completely student-centered. By grasping an idea of what the student needs, I can then determine how best to proceed. I utilise a wide variety of resources, all tailored to each individual student. By doing this, I can ensure that the student gains the most they possibly can from sessions. I strive to help students in whatever way I can to gain a greater understanding of science and the way life functions. I use techniques that are consistently used in schools, such as retrieval practice and elaboration to help students recall facts accurately, and apply their knowledge to new situations
