Information about Adrian
An experienced full time teacher and private tutor with a proven track record of achieving outstanding success in delivering "A" level Biology and Chemistry and GCSE Science. As an external examiner, I am familiar with the exam requirements and specification for all the exam boards, helping students to master the exam technique and command terms. My teaching experience includes the traditional "A" levels and International Baccalaureate, in both Biology and Chemistry, as well as teaching GCSE Science in secondary schools. Currently, I teach full-time in a London school and lead a pre-medical course.
In understanding difficult topics, my tutees benefit of a large number of electronic resources, including exam questions per topic, past-papers, PowerPoint presentations, cognitive maps and bullet-point revision notes. I expect and guide my students to create their own revision materials, as they go along the subject. This method develops the students` intuitive and predictive skills and help them guess the meaning of the exam questions from the first words. I quickly build my students` confidence and encourage them to take a leading role, not only during our sessions but also in their general learning. I am open to feedback and suggestions from students and parents alike and consistently ensure that I am best meeting their needs.
Parents are welcome to observe the whole lesson, when we could discuss your son/daughter`s needs, strengths and areas for improvement.
Availability: Tutor available during weekends or weekdays after school.
Students are advised to confirm in advance their attendance and the topic they wish to revise by e-mail.
Please make the tutor aware of any requirements your child may have, so the lessons could be adapted to their individual needs.

"Dear Adrian,
Just to let you know, Georgie got a good `B` in Biology - so she and we are really pleased. Thank you so much again for your work with her, to go from a D to a B (in ten hours) is very respectable result!
Susan and Georgie"
"Words cannot express how relaxed I am now about Emmanuel`s future. Not only that I am now confident he will do well, I am also glad that you`ve given him the technique and boost to do well even when he gets to University".
"Christians Chemistry prediction has been upgraded now to A, largely thanks to you I think. This is great news as we can now apply to a different strata of Universities. We really appreciate your advice and efforts and are delighted with his grades, he`s come a long way since June. He is happier, more confident and working better now, as he is getting the grades his efforts deserve".
"I was very pleased to see how thorough you were to get to know Paloma and this put her at total ease with you. She told me that she was very excited to put into practice all your suggestions and new way of learning Biology. She said that a whole new world of possibilities unfolded before her eyes with the resources and material that you showed her".
"Elena and I were delighted to meet you today and found your approach to teaching to be everything we had hoped for and more. It`s clear you are a great natural communicator with huge teaching experience in both your subjects and in preparing young people for exams. You have been very clear in what you expect of her and extremely generous with your own resources. Thank you for encouraging her and giving her the confidence and motivation to believe that with smartly directed work achieving her goal in the time she has is perfectly possible".

Adrian is a top tutor with a deep knowledge of Biology and a full array of resources at his fingertips which he is ready to put at his tutees disposal. He is a very dedicated and inspirational teacher and it would be a pleasure to recommend him to anyone who has a passion for Biology and a desire to achieve highly.
