Lisa

I am an experienced secondary school Science teacher with over 22 years in the classroom, teaching across the full secondary age range. I am passionate about making science accessible, engaging and enjoyable for every student, regardless of age or ability.

I tailor each session to the individual, using a range of teaching strategies to suit different learning styles and ensure that tutoring is truly bespoke. My approach focuses on identifying gaps in understanding, building secure foundations and developing exam confidence.

I understand that many students struggle not because of ability, but because of confidence. Through careful scaffolding, clear explanations and structured practice, I help students recognise what they already know and build upon it. I place strong emphasis on measurable progress, ensuring that every session moves students closer to their academic goals and results in tangible improvement.

I am patient, approachable and methodical, with a genuine enthusiasm for science and a commitment to helping every student achieve their full potential.
