Hi, I'm an experienced and qualified teacher/lecturer of maths and biology of 10 years. I specialise in maths, english and science. I am well motivated and have plenty of patience for students who struggle to comprehend new material. I am very flexible and adaptable with excellent knowledge in areas of science particularly biology and would offer tuition to M.Sc. level in life sciences. I do not have a car but I have a wide variety of resources at home and as such I would only be able to tutor students on site. I have run a p/t tutoring business with great success for the last year with clients continuing on into 2012 with me.

Availability: Variable and flexible from 9am until 9pm but I'm not available on fridays after 4pm or Sundays.
