I am a passionate and dedicated secondary school Biology teacher with four years of classroom experience and a strong track record of private tutoring. My teaching covers a wide range of levels, from primary school up to A-level, and includes exam boards such as GCSE, IGCSE, IB, and A-level. I take pride in building positive, supportive relationships with students, helping them gain confidence in their scientific understanding and academic abilities.
Over the years, I have worked with a diverse group of learners, including those with Special Educational Needs (SEN) and students who find interpreting exam questions particularly challenging. My experience spans both school and one-to-one tutoring environments, where I have successfully helped students improve their exam performance through targeted support and a patient, adaptive teaching style. I am fully familiar with the key requirements and objectives of the national curriculum and exam specifications, and I tailor my lessons to meet individual learning needs while aligning with curriculum goals.
My teaching approach focuses on clarity, engagement, and exam-readiness. I break down complex biological concepts into manageable parts and use visual aids, analogies, and real-world examples to make content accessible. I place a strong emphasis on developing exam technique—teaching students how to interpret command words, structure answers, and apply their knowledge effectively under timed conditions. I also ensure that practical skills are thoroughly understood, not just memorized, by walking students through experiments and encouraging analytical thinking.
