Personal Description:

Qualified Biology/Science teacher. My approach to online grinds is focused on delivering a highly personalised and targeted strategy aimed at building students' confidence and helping them achieve their highest potential in State exams. With my experience as an examiner for Leaving Certificate Biology and Science exams, I offer valuable insights into how to approach and answer exam questions effectively. I guide students through key concepts, exam techniques, and marking schemes, ensuring they understand what examiners are looking for and how to structure their responses to earn maximum marks. This tailored support empowers students to master both the content and exam skills, helping them excel in their examinations.

Tutoring Experience:

I have over 12 years of experience teaching both Junior Cycle Science and Leaving Certificate Biology, with a proven track record of helping students achieve excellent results. I have also worked with the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA) in developing success criteria for Junior Cycle Science Classroom-Based Assessments (CBAs), giving me unique insight into curriculum requirements and assessment standards.

In addition, I have been teaching online for the past 4 years, allowing me to adapt my methods to suit remote learning environments effectively. I provide personalised, targeted revision materials tailored to each student's specific needs, ensuring they are fully prepared for their exams and coursework.

Approach to Grinds:

In my online grinds, I create a supportive and focused learning environment where students can ask questions, tackle difficult concepts, and build confidence. I prioritize making complex ideas easier to understand, tailoring each session to the student's learning style and pace. My goal is to ensure that students feel well-prepared, not just for their exams, but for long-term success in their studies. Together, we’ll work on practical exam techniques, helping students feel more at ease and capable when facing their papers.
