Laurie

Hi there, I'm Laurie! I am a GCSE Biology and Chemistry tutor, and I teach students the techniques I used to get grade 9s in GCSE Biology and Chemistry, and A*A*A in A level Psychology, Biology, and Chemistry, whilst guiding them through their course to ensure their best grade possible. I am currently at Warwick University studying Neuroscience, and am a friendly and driven young man who just recently finished his A-levels, so I am able to relate to the students on a deeper level to most older tutors, with a greater understanding of the demands of the exams and the issues that students face during their time at GCSE. I look forward to seeing you on the other side :)

(P.S. The low prices won't stay for long, so if I were you I'd jump at the opportunity because in the months to come other students will be paying higher prices, whilst you'd still be paying the same low price as a gift for your support from the very start!)

Tutoring Experience

My testimonials:

Zac said this - 'Since tuition with Laurie in Biology I have become more confident in my abilities. I have just completed my December mocks and got above my expected target by an entire grade boundary, getting a grade 7 instead of a 6. He assisted me in creation of revision resources, guiding me how to study and securing everything he's taught me. He's taught me more than my actual Biology teacher!'

Waleed, who went up 2 grades in 2 months in both Biology and Chemistry said this - 'Thank you so much for these 2 months. I really appreciate what you have done, because of you I have improved a lot in Biology and Chemistry and I cannot thank you enough.'

Mohammad went from grade 5 to grade 7 in Chemistry.

I have also taught basic English and Maths successfully to underprivileged children in Tanzania, and aided multiple peers in achieving the grades they desired and further at GCSE and A level.

Tutoring Approach

My approach is to focus on building the student/s understanding of the content rather than memorising it, allowing them to apply their knowledge to a variety of different contexts and boosting their confidence, and will stay concentrated on the specification. I will do this through:

• Active recall techniques, forcing the students to reinforce their understanding of the information

• Application to real exam questions, allowing the students to develop both their exam confidence and technique, as well as practicing applying their knowledge to foreign contexts

• Praise and recognition of the student's hard work and progress, further building their confidence

• Going above and beyond just the one hour lessons to ensure the student's understanding, for example: feedback after each lesson, preparation for the lessons, checking through the student's work, and more.
