I am a qualified biology teacher, GCSE and A level. I am committed to helping students improve their understanding of the subject and turn that into marks. To do this I draw on my experience as a teacher, a field biologist, a volunteer at London Zoo, an anatomy lecturer... the important thing is to make the subject exciting and relevant to the student`s current experience or future goals.

Willing to travel: 10 miles

Experience: I have been a qualified biology teacher for 15 years and a biologist for 23.

I taught biology in one of the UK`s top performing schools for 7 years working with students to improve their understanding of the subject, of exam technique and above all their confidence. Simultaneously I tutored pupils from other schools so am used to working one-to-one. Since then I have been working in the equivalent to a 6th form college helping students to get up to A level standard in anatomy and physiology, biology and hospital microbiology in a 15 week intensive course.

I have worked with many students over the years and am practiced at helping them to make connections between the subject and their experiences to aid learning and retention. I also enjoy using my experiences researching in the rain forest, volunteering at London Zoo, leading scuba dives and using cadavers at college to enliven lessons and make them feel more relevant to a students current interests or future hopes.
