Full time private tutor in Science & A level Biology. Qualified Science teacher since 2007 with significant experience teaching Science to both children and adults in a variety of secondary schools and colleges. Demand for tuition has allowed me to pursue private tuition as my full time career several years a go and I love it!

Availability: I teach from Monday to Friday with both daytime and evening slots. I teach a variety of one to one and one to two lessons, with a number of students sharing a lesson with a friend of a similar ability for a reduced fee.

Willing to travel: 10 miles

Experience: I completed a BSc (Hons) in Animal Physiology at Nottingham University in 2006 (2:1) and then went on to study PGCE in Secondary Science in 2007, specialising in Biology.

Throughout my teaching career I have successfully taught all three Sciences from Key stage 3 to A level, BTEC Applied Science Levels 2/3, BTEC Health and Social Care Level 2/3 and A level Biology. I have worked with students of a variety of needs, including SEN and/or Gifted. In addition to classroom teaching, I have also acted as programme manager and I have worked as an expert examiner for Edexcel for several years.

Since moving to Surrey in 2013, I have thoroughly enjoyed providing one to one Science tuition in the Godalming and Guildford area. In the last few years, I have been fortunate enough to leave my teaching post in order to become a full time private tutor and I am now offer tuition in KS3 Science, GCSE Core/Additional Science, GCSE Biology/Chemistry/Physics and AS/A level Biology.

As a private tutor I use a wide range of methods in my tuition in order to suit the particular students’ needs and learning styles including short interactive activities, mind mapping, in depth discussion and past exam questions. Sessions often focus on confidence building, exam technique, revision advice and the teaching and/or revision of weak areas. It is also common that I am required to fill in gaps in knowledge created by absence or difficult classroom situations, covering missing subject matter which has often gone unnoticed until it is identified in our tuition sessions.


I have a variety of interests so I can usually find common ground with students to help win over those that may be a little less keen to have a private tutor. I also am very sympathetic to nervous learners and have had a lot of success in the past in building confidence with these students in order to help them experience success.
