Information about Harriet
A University of Cambridge Veterinary Medicine Graduate, with six years` experience teaching A level Biology and two years` experience as an exam marker, specialising in the AQA specification.
Qualifying as a veterinary surgeon, my desire to educate and help young people achieve their full potential drove me to pursue a career in teaching. I have since completed a PGCE at the University of Chester and worked as a Teacher of Biology in two contrasting sixth form colleges.
I currently teach in an "Outstanding Sixth Form College" where my time is split evenly across teaching Year 12 and Year 13 A level Biology. In my most recent post I have refined my teaching and resources to be highly exam specific. This has been achieved by scrutinizing previous A level papers, mark schemes and examiners reports and updating my resources accordingly. I share with my students the common errors that are made on the exam so that they are aware not to make them. I also teach my students how to use this past exam material to effectively improve their exam technique.
An empathetic and kind teacher, I believe that students thrive in an environment where they feel comfortable to make mistakes and ask questions. I create this environment within my lessons by adopting a positive and motivating approach to learners, encouraging them to ask questions and welcoming mistakes as opportunities to improve. I also encourage my students to regularly reflect on their progress in order to take ownership of their learning and for them to better understand how they can bridge the gap between where they are now and where they want to be.
Availability: Monday - Thursday evenings
Willing to travel: 5 miles
Experience: For the past 6 years, I have taught in two contrasting sixth form colleges, working with students of various abilities and backgrounds. I now teach A level Biology in an "Outstanding Sixth Form College."
I am also an examiner for AQA so have insight into what the examiners are looking for. This includes marking the essay on Paper 3.
DBS Check: Yes

My daughter is in year 12 and her lessons with Harriet are really helping her develop and expand on what she has learnt in school. Schools sometimes don’t go into the level of details of knowledge that are needed to achieve a high grade.

Harriet has been teaching my daughter A level biology for some months now and has made a clear impact. She`s punctual, organised and explains concepts well. We are happy with the progress and confident in her as a reliable, knowledgeable tutor.

Harriet has helped our daughter with A Level Biology, and she has been absolutely fantastic! She is extremely well organised, she explains concepts clearly and concisely in a way my daughter understands and enjoys, reinforcing learning and building confidence. Her teaching style is very engaging, and we can see the difference the lessons are having, my daughter looks forward to each lesson.
