Tutoring Experience

I have many years experience in teaching KS3, GCSE and A level students scientific concepts in biology, physics and chemistry in preparation for examinations. I have helped students achieve high grades in Biology to get into top universities to study medicine and science.

Tutoring Approach

I am very organised and will teach scientific concepts in an easy and understandable way. I will firstly go through the students learning objectives for each topic and identify which areas they find hard. I will provide constant testing during the lesson including past paper examinations as well as give homework tasks to help them understand the topic better.
I will teach them mindfulness techniques to help them stay focused and calm during high levels of stress such as revision and taking their examinations.
