Anna

Qualified science teacher, registered with Education Workforce Council/Register of Education Practitioners I am a responsible, self-driven, well-organised and ambitious biologist with a very good attitude towards teaching and learning.

The realisation of my interest in education came to me while, working at the Medical Centre for Postgraduate Education, I was placed in front of the future physicians, scared (with my heart thumping in my chest) but at the same time excited, to lecture about the thyroid proteins. I absolutely loved the experience. And when my supervising role became much more significant during my doctorate and post-doctorate years at University College Dublin and Cardiff University, respectively, I did not hesitate to mentor B.Sc. students and Nuffield foundation pupils undertaking their science projects in my laboratory.

The teaching/demonstrating `components` of my career thus far that I enjoyed the most - and indeed - gave me the most satisfaction. These experiences - combined with my passion for teaching - taught me to appreciate the value of a proper education, and the importance of its availability to everyone.

Availability: I am very flexible, so please contact me and I will do my best to accommodate you in the most convenient time and place for you. I have my own transport so please do not worry about the distance :)

Willing to travel: 10 miles

Experience: My most valuable experiences have come from my current teaching post as well as, my PhD and post-doctoral years, when I was involved in facilitating Problem- and Case Based Learning classes for the undergraduate Veterinary and Medicine students and also worked as a microbiology, biochemistry and molecular biology laboratory demonstrator.

Currently I teach Microbiology and Genetics as well as a practical part of science which is a part of the A-level syllabus so I am up to speed with all the changes within it.
