I am an experienced A level biology teacher providing friendly and supportive tutoring to help improve your understanding and exam technique in biology. I tutor both A level and GCSE students and have worked at the largest Outstanding Sixth Form College in Manchester for over 10 years. I tutor a range of different specifications (e.g. AQA, WJEC, EDUQAS and OCR). I specialise in helping students develop excellent exam technique, where you can approach new questions on exam papers with confidence and a clear logical approach to writing answers. The tutoring sessions are detailed, engaging and tailored to your particular needs as a biology student. I cover both A level topics and GCSE topics. Prior to being a biology teacher. I have worked in genetics research on the human genome project, at Manchester Institute of Biotechnology on genetics of keloid disease and also for pharmaceutical companies researching and developing new drugs for diseases such as Alzheimers disease, Cancers and ALS.
