I tutored maths in school for 2 years (in Sixth Form) as Head Maths Prefect, but I also taught biology and chemistry during this time to GCSE and A-level students. I’m incredibly passionate about science! This led me to accept my offer to study biological science BSc at UCL. I also consider myself quite academic and hardworking. At GCSE, I achieved all 8s and 9s (all 9s in science and maths), and at A-level, my grades were A*AA in biology, maths, and chemistry respectively. I thoroughly enjoy teaching and I have many revision resources available to give to my students. I always look forward to helping other students reach their full potential!

Lessons usually range from 30-60 minutes. My lessons are incredibly flexible, and I structure the lesson around fixing my students' misconceptions. This includes teaching a new topic from scratch or focusing on specific areas of difficulty depending on my students’ requirements. I begin by assessing how well a student's level of initial understanding is. From there, I teach the lesson by explaining concepts, drawing diagrams, and using PowerPoint I've created beforehand. If my student struggles to grasp a concept, I explain it again and correct their mistakes. Finally, we cover exam questions to help mark the level of progress. I will always provide very honest feedback and give my student optional homework tasks for their independent learning. I often find many A-level students struggle with exam techniques. This is a very common challenge, especially at A-Level as these techniques are vital to successfully answering application questions. Therefore, regularly practicing these skills via past papers and practice questions together really helps them achieve their goals.
