Karen

I am an experienced, fully qualified Secondary Science teacher with a BSc Hons in Biochemistry. I have enjoyed tutoring KS3 and KS4 students in Combined Science as well as individual Sciences for over 27 years. Alongside tutoring I have worked for local government as an educational adviser. I pride myself on finding innovative ways for students to learn, gain confidence and retain information for examinations. I try to bring Science to life using on-line resources as well as more conventional texts. Seeing the ";Light bulb moments"; for students is what drives me. All students can reach their true potential with the right guidance.

Availability: Enquiries welcome for intensive tuition during the February half term or Easter break. I tailor tuition to help each student face the challenges ahead and use their time in the most productive manner. I offer tuition to students who feel that they would like to consolidate their learning and grow in confidence, resilience and Scientific understanding. I can also suggest effective revision and examination techniques so that students feel ready to take on all future challenges.

I usually suggest starting with a one hour session with each new student. This enables us to set out our learning aims and objectives and draw a plan of action. I am happy to work with students for 1 hour or 1.5 hours as 2 hours can be a bit much for students. If this sounds like the right kind of intervention for your child`s needs then do get in contact.

Experience: I graduated from Birmingham University in 1995 with a 2.1 in Biochemistry and then completed a PGCE in Secondary Science. I have worked as a Science teacher and tutor for many years and also as an educational adviser to local and national government. I tutor students in KS3/KS4 individual Sciences as well as double award GCSE, making sure that students achieve the required but often higher levels/grades than predicted. After twenty seven years I have a proven track record and my methods and insight give students the full benefit of my experience.
