Sarah

I am a UCL graduate with a First Class BSc in Biochemistry, currently studying a Master`s at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. I am a passionate and engaging Science/Maths tutor. Having achieved straight A*s and As at A-level and GCSEs, I know what it takes to reach a high standard of work and I really invest in my students` progress.

I like to get to know my students well - their strengths and weaknesses, expectations and concerns for the subject - and I am a firm believer in encouragement in all areas. I bring a positive and hopefully outlook to every lesson, and I am excited to watch my students grow and succeed.

Availability: Weekdays morning, afternoon or evening.

Saturday morning and afternoon.

Willing to travel: 5 miles

Experience: I have experience as a Secondary age maths tutor, and a Biology teaching assistant from my volunteering work in 2014. I have since helped many young people with their studies on a voluntary basis. Now graduated with a first class Biochemistry degree, I am keen to continue investing in helping young people achieve their very best and gain a passion for the sciences.

The grades I achieved:

BSc Biochemistry, 2017 - First Class (Hons.)
A-Levels, 2013 - 2 A*s & 2 As.
GSCEs, 2011 - 10 A*s & 1 A.

I know first-hand the challenges of handling the demands of rigorous academic study and have learnt key techniques in organisation, revision and exam preparation. These same tools, bringing me my own success, I can confidently pass on to my students to help them learn and retrieve information.

My tutoring style is a gentle but persistent approach. I provide my students with plenty of homework to solidify the concepts taught and expect them to work hard both in and outside of our sessions. I am happy to answer any questions, just drop me a message!
