Mark

I am a friendly, patient and approachable individual who has worked with students of all ages for the past 10 years. I am a qualified teacher currently working in one of the top secondary schools in the area as a Academy Improvement Leader for Science, as well as teaching KS3 Science and GCSE Science. I have gained success with not only high achievers, but also students who find Science a challenge and I have been judged as an outstanding teacher on many occasions. I have also been involved in organising training programmes to help improve teaching and learning with the academy. In 2016, my A*-C grade pass rate for my 3 sets(90 students) in Triple Science (Biology) was 98.5%.
I am fully equipped to deliver sessions on the new AQA specification with access to numerous past papers, exam style questions and required practical techniques which are new to the syllabus. As I am head of science, I am frequently in contact with AQA to gain new ideas.
I try to help students understand the basics first, and then tackle more advanced learning with a very simple, but effective approach. Previous tutees all had success in their exams.
