Online Physics and Chemistry Teacher

I am a neuroscience graduate, a qualified science teacher and a current medical student.

I graduated with both my degree in Neuroscience and my PGCE from the university of Nottingham and have worked in both the NHS and pharmaceutical industry.

I have been tutoring science since September 2014 and tutor in biology, chemistry and physics up to GCSE level. I also have students studying A level biology and chemistry and some of these I have worked with since they were in year 9.

I have worked with students from both the private at state sector across Derbyshire and also have experience of working with students who are disengaged from education. I have experience of various exam boards including, AQA, OCR and Edexcel, including IGCSE courses.

I am an adaptable tutor who is creative, to ensure all students make progress and reach their full potential.

I loved tutoring and education that much that it lead me to do supply/cover work across Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire. This in turn enabled me to secure a place on The University of Nottingham's Secondary Science PGCE course where I gained Qualified Teacher Status (rated 'OUTSTANDING' on my final teaching profile)and pass the academic component with Distinction.

I volunteer at a local charity and as a befriender to those at risk of social isolation. I therefore have a fully enhanced DBS check which I can provide you with so you can check my details online.

I am currently studying graduate entry medicine and received offers to all 3 medical schools I interviewed for. I received a commendation for coming top of my year in year 1 of my course and also for the highest achievement in our personal professional development module. I have also been involved in the interview and student recruitment process of new medical students.

If you require Skype/online tuition, group tuition or have any special educational needs that need accommodating, then please contact for further information.

I have experience of teaching science at KS3 (11-14), KS4 (14-16) and at KS5 (post 16) as well as adult learners. I have taught in secondary mainstream, Post 16 college and at the University of Derby. I have also spent time in an SEN provision setting to improve my awarness of supporting all learners.

Edexcel IGCSE

Access and foundation courses for adult learners.

Tutoring Approach

I am a lighthearted and dynamic tutor who gives a lot of time to pupil/student voice. I think it is vital that students can dictate the sessions (if they want to/are able to) so that they can gain maximum benefit to them.

I establish a good rapport with all my tutees and this has been highlighted as a real positive with all the families I have worked with. My tutoring style is relaxed which helps put a student at ease; after all they are having extra lessons outside of school! They can however be very formal if this is what the family would prefer. I always make time to discuss the session at the end with parents/family/guardian.

I have worked with students from both the private and state sector and across the ability range. I adapt the sessions to suit the student and to engage them and maintain their curiosity.
