My passion is exploring life and the world around us, and when teaching Science I aim to enthuse my pupils with the wonders of our world. Science is an exciting subject with many challenges and unanswered questions that I love to explore.

I really enjoy teaching - to me it is about helping learners to learn and discover things for themselves, and to give them a sense of achievement and purpose.

My hobbies include horse riding, being out in the countryside, travelling, and spending time with friends and family.

I always ran popular after school revision classes, and had many pupils come to me throughout the school day for help and support in addition to my interactive lessons with them.

I have an open, supportive, flexible approach to explaining any topics required, to boost your understanding and enthusiasm of the science subjects. I can use exam questions with you as part of a structured revision programme, as I feel this proves to be one of the best methods of improving grades.

Experience: I qualified as a Science teacher in 2002. Since then I have taught A level Biology in Wiltshire for a year, carried out some supply teaching in a range of subjects and have spent a great five years teaching in a Portsmouth school where I taught all of the Sciences to GCSE (Sept 2005-July 2010), including taking responsibility for the Separate Science groups in the school.

Since spending 4 months teaching A Level Chemistry and KS3 Science in a school in Gran Canaria three years ago, I have been tutoring full time in all Sciences at GCSE, as well as AS and A2 Biology (all syllabuses).

Sept 2014-August 2016 I have worked part-time teaching GCSE Sciences in 2 local private schools.

I am also a marking examiner for GCSE Biology.

I am a solo mum to my young daughter.
