Willing to travel: 10 miles

Experience: I have over a decade of UK classroom teaching and tutoring experience with a focus on KS3, 13 plus (13+), GCSE and IGCSE students. My goal is simple - to help students who struggle with science develop confidence and pass their exams.

I have taught at both state and independent schools helping students to prepare for their 13 plus (13+) Common Entrance, GCSE and iGCSE exams.

I am the Lead Tutor of an online tutoring Academy where we help students jump 2-3 grades in GCSE Maths and Science.

My mission goes beyond academic excellence; I help students develop the personal and interpersonal skills necessary for long-term success and fulfilment beyond the classroom.

I have worked with students from a range of backgrounds and abilities including tutoring students identified as underachieving. As a Qualified Teacher, I am fully conversant with all major exam boards (Pearson, Edexcel, AQA and OCR). My specialism are Biology and Chemistry

I have now helped over 500 students significantly improve in a short span, many enhancing their grades by 2-3 levels.

Tutoring Approach:
I help children master the foundational concepts so that they can easily build upon their knowledge.

My lessons are interleaved with questions and other assessment tasks as well as frequent end of unit exam questions. All this helps to assess the child’s progress and improve memory retention and learning. Practising exam papers also helps consolidate learning and dissipate children’s fears around examinations.

My tutoring sessions are built largely around student’s weaknesses. I identify how each child learn best and teach them using more of that method. I also use everyday examples to explain key concepts which helps build confidence and increase the child’s love and understanding for the subject.

So, if you have a child in secondary school who needs help with science, then get in touch to find out how I can help you.
