Jamie

I am an enthusiastic and committed teacher with 5 years experience teaching GCSE science and A-level Biology and Chemistry, currently working as a specialist Chemistry teacher at an outstanding independent school in Lancashire. I take in a limited number of students each exam cycle as this gives me time to focus on students as individuals for high quality intervention and a more personalised approach to learning.

I entered teaching late, after a career in Microbiology in the NHS as a Biomedical Scientist and studying Graduate Entry Medicine at Nottingham. Throughout my career I have enjoyed teaching - to first and second year medical students or trainee scientists in the lab, and so the step into formal teaching was natural.

I enjoy teaching to encourage deeper understanding and enjoyment, but appreciate the realities of our current examination system and have a pragmatic approach to exam technique practice.

In addition to academic tutoring I also offer help for students who are aiming to study medicine, with entrance exams or coaching. Group interviews with practicing clinicians are available twice per application cycle.

Availability: Some weekday evening availability. Weekend mornings.
