Kate

I am a 29 year old native English Oxford University graduate with a 2:1 level degree in Biological Sciences. I am currently living in central Cambridge undertaking a PhD at the MRC Toxicology Unit. In January of 2020 I completed my MPhil in Computational Biology in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at Cambridge University.

Before university I studied A level Biology (A*) Maths (A*) and History (A) as well as AS Level Chemistry at The Stephen Perse Foundation (formerly Perse School for Girls).

Subjects offered - I am comfortable with all syllabuses -

Biology:
Up to and including GCSE/IGCSE & A Level

Maths:
Up to and including GCSE/IGCSE

Chemistry:
Up to and including GCSE/IGCSE

Physics:
Up to and including GCSE/IGCSE

As well as academic subjects I can offer coaching on UCAS & university applications (particularly Oxbridge), personal statements and interview technique. I have more than 8 years of experience tutoring 1:1 and in classrooms.

I have a fully drivers license and my own car so can travel to students’ homes (travel charged additionally depending on time/distance). **dependent on COVID regulations at time of enquiry**

Before accepting new students I will always set up an initial meeting/call with the student and parents/guardians to discuss tuition requirements and logistics. These consultations are not free of charge and will be charged at the same hourly rate as tuition.

References (received via tutorhunt):

"Kate tutored our daughter for her GCSE math in Y10 and Y11. She was everything we could have hoped for in a tutor - reliable, professional, extremely able and efficient, calm and patient. She really did provide a bespoke service which perfectly fitted our daughter`s needs, and we were delighted with her end result in her GCSE. I would not hesitate to recommend Kate as a tutor to anyone looking for assistance in GCSE maths or indeed in sciences as she is equally able to provide that."

"Kate tutored my son for a little over a year. Not only did his grades and confidence improve considerably, he also seemed more organised, motivated and engaged in his studies. Kate is a fantastic tutor, she is extremely bright, reliable and friendly and really helped my son understand the content and how to structure his revision more effectively. She takes a genuine interest in her students, what their interests are and how they learn. I would definitely recommend her to anyone whose son or daughter needs extra tuition and is looking for a friendly and engaging tutor."
