Information about Tara

Hi!

I am an experienced tutor with a PhD in Molecular Biology and a 1st Class Biology degree, both from the University of Nottingham and have a full DBS check. Over the last two years I have tutored over 4500 hours online.

I appreciate how hard both GCSEs and A-levels can be and like to motivate my students to achieve the best they possibly can. I like to split work into three sections: firstly, I come up with unique methods of ensuring the understanding of complex material; secondly, I help students come up with creative methods of remembering the material, and finally I like to provide help in both exam preparation and technique.

"Tara has been amazing and has helped me understand A level biology in a way I never would`ve been able to, made me much more confident, I really would recommend to anyone struggling to get to grips with the a level 🙂;" A-level student 2023

"Absolutely brilliant ! Tara really helped me get to grips with understanding the difficult topics in A level biology by presenting the topics in such an accessible way and also massively changed my marks by making sure I understand the exam technique as that is a massive part of a level biology that you mostly don’t get taught in school .Would highly recommend 🙂;" A-level student 2023

If you have any questions, don`t hesitate to contact me :)

My daughter Tasha had Tara as her biology A level tutor for some of Yr 12 and all of Yr 13 and Tara truly made a massive difference. Tasha went from struggling with how to answer exam questions and so not doing particularly well in her sixth form exams to really doing very well having been shown exactly how to answer the biology exam questions by Tara. And this meant she really started to love the biology course, so much so that she has just started a biomedical science degree at university, having changed her mind from doing history. That is all thanks to Tara, I can`t recommend her highly enough.

I found Tara about a month before my daughter sat A level Biology, so there was a limited number of lessons we could fit in. Tara ran some very useful group exam technique seasons which really gave my daughter confidence before her exams. We also scheduled a 1:1 to focus on any last minute support. I’d highly recommend Tara and only wish we found her earlier.

Tara has been teaching my daughter for the past year in A level biology. Tara’s teaching methods have suited my daughter well, and the way Tara has explained things on a one-to-one basis has increased her confidence no end. A level biology is very content heavy, and at school there is insufficient time in the curriculum if you are struggling to keep up. Starting the lessons a year in advance enabled Tara very much to understand the weaknesses my daughter suffered and guide her to ways of overcoming struggles she faced with the course content. Tara taught her well how to approach questions in the exam that she struggled with or questions that would phase her, and how to gain the most marks. I very much recommend her teaching methods.

The morning dedicated to the biology exam question was excellent. It was pitched at the right level and the content was spot on. Gave really good insight into how to tackle the question.

Superb session with our group of Year 13 Biologists who really valued the content and key advice they received. They felt very supported and feel much more confident with the longer writing questions.

Tara was absolutely fantastic! She helped my daughter cover all the missing content in her Biology A’Level and ensured she understood every concept and theory. She’s given her the tools she needs to succeed in her exam. Tara was very efficient, knowledgeable and put my daughter at ease very quickly. Thank you Tara for everything you’ve done!

Tara tutored our daughter for over a year towards her 2022 A Level examination in Biology; we found her consistently reliable, punctual and prepared but over and above such the rapport that she quickly built with our daughter really underpinned an ultimately successful engagement. We would have no hesitation in recommending Tara!

Dr Tara did weekly tutorials with our daughter for the year before her GCSEs, covering the separate science higher tier subjects. They started with Physics and then progressed to Chemistry and Biology. Her predicted grades at the start of that year were 6,7,7 in Physics, Biology and Chemistry. Her results were 8,8,9 respectively. There is no doubt that Tara`s ingenious methods of teaching and using memorisation techniques led to such great results. Thank you!

Tara is an amazing tutor and she has helped to tutor me though A-Level Biology. I started lessons in the summer between 1st and 2nd year as I was getting low grades (C and B), now I have my results and I got an A*! The lessons are very well organised and structured, using an online whiteboard, we went through content, shorter questions and lots of exam style questions, which helped me learn and understand the content and perfect the exam technique. Tara also ran a biology essay masterclass, where she gave essay advice, which was incredibly detailed and offered much more advice then anything I gained from my college. She has lots of easy to understand diagrams and documents that can be used outside of lessons, and she always answers emails and questions outside of lesson times. She is very friendly and supportive, everything you would want from a tutor, so I highly recommed her lessons.

Tara has been amazing with my daughter, helping and tutoring her through her GCSE Science. Lessons with Tara are always engaging and my daughter always comes away more confident. If there is anything she`s stuck on Tara is always more than happy to help showing her new ways to work problems out. Tara really has been a huge help. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.

Subject content is very well explained with very useful analogies. If you can`t rely on your teachers to properly explain it, you can definitely rely on Tara

Tara tutors our daughter in maths and science. She started in year 7 at a time when she was not feeling very confident. My daughter is now in year 8 and doing very well in both maths and science. She enjoys both subjects so much that she does STEM club and maths club! She always looks forward to Tara’s lessons, which seem to be fun and sometimes involve experimenting with kitchen supplies! I could not be happier with how they are going and we feel very lucky to have found Tara.

Tara has raised my daughters science grades massively over the course of a month. She did an exceptional job at helping my daughter remember all the information she needed to sit the exam. Thank you Tara!

Tara is a great tutor. My children have only been with Tara a short while, but I have already seen the benefits of her teaching. The kids are finding things easier to work out due to the fantastic technique Tara shows them.

Tara is absolutely brilliant with our 12yr old son. After just a few maths lessons he is already gaining in confidence, His lessons are very well prepared along with recap homework tasks set after every lesson. Tara is friendly, helpful and professional. We would most definitely recommend her.
