Laurie

Private Chemistry and Biology Tutor in Ashbourne

Hi there, I'm Laurie! I own an online GCSE Biology and Chemistry tutoring community, where 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. When you join the community you not only get access to weekly calls with myself to deepen your understanding of your GCSE (like you would for other GCSE tutors), but also the chance to communicate with other members for extra assistance or to harness a sense of community - all striving for your best possible grades! You can also purchase an extra call or direct messaging with me for my help e.g. if you're stuck on an exam question, and purchase the exact revision materials that I made for GCSE Biology and Chemistry. Not only that, but also get access to high-quality tutorial videos tailored to your needs for any topic that you're particularly struggling with, as well as the ability to make recommendations to me for any other resources you'd find helpful during your time in GCSE which I can post on the community for your access any time you need, as well as more additions to come in the future... I 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 tutors and I am more understanding of the issues that students face during their time at GCSE. If you join within the next 4 days I will give you 1 month of free tutoring, to allow you to decide whether my tutoring style works for you! I look forward to seeing you on the other side :)

(P.S. This is a new community so 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 members 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

I am only recently finished with my full-time education at school, but still have some experience. I have taught basic English and Maths successfully to underprivileged children in Tanzania, aided multiple peers in achieving the grades they desired and further at GCSE and A level, and am currently tutoring a GCSE student for AQA Biology

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.
