Information about Cristina
Looking for an experienced chemistry / biology / biochemistry tutor with a PhD?
I am a qualified science teacher, experienced tutor and former research scientist with a PhD in biophysical chemistry. I have tutored over 100 students and helped them to greatly improve their knowledge, study skills and confidence to perform at a high level in exams. We can work on exam preparation and review of coursework too.
Subjects: Chemistry, Biology, Biochemistry, Biophysics.
All levels: from GCSE, A-levels and IB, to foundation courses, BSc and MSc levels.
£25/h
DBS checked.
I explain complex things in an easy and fun way, from degree level to GCSE level. I try to find out quickly, how much knowledge the student already has and what their learning style is to then adapt the pace of the lesson to the student, as well as my teaching style. Besides using scientific terminology, I also try to use everyday imagery and stories, in order to explain complex ideas in an accessible manner that sticks to memory.
