Hello and good day to all! I am a fully qualified Science teacher with several years of classroom experience. Prior to teaching, I completed a Masters degree in Genetics and went on to carry out research for Cancer Research UK. I then moved into teaching and recently completed my Masters in Education. I love to teach Science and make abstract concepts more concrete, so that students are able to apply their understanding in life and in their exams!

Experience: I completed my Masters in Genetics at The University of Cambridge, and then went on to complete my PGCE, so that I could teach Science in secondary schools. I have 5-years teaching experience and have worked with a wide variety of students. I find that with tuition, the main thing we need to focus on are making sure that the student has a good grasp of the key content, so they are able to apply their understanding. Often students do not feel confident about their understanding and this may be due to a misconception that needs addressing, but often it can be resolved by showing a student that they DO understand these concepts, and this positive reinforcement can cause huge improvements in their ability to perform well in the subject.
