I am fully qualified Biology teacher currently Head of Science working at London secondary school with sixth form. I am 31, have a degree in Biology and have been teaching for 7 years having worked in the city prior to a career change to teaching.
Biology is my passion, as is helping students of all abilities and backgrounds to achieve their best. I live in Chingford and work in Loughton and I am available evenings and weekends in surrounding areas, however I am primarily open to online tutoring at this time.
I have trained and workied at an outstanding school in Essex for 5 years, then a more challenging London school in the last year, this has allowed me to support students of all abilities and backgrounds to excel. I teach students of all abilities in mixed groups and higher/lower sets from year 7 to 13. I have taught the AQA syllabuses to GCSE and A Level, as well as GCSE Edexcel and OCR A level on a daily basis as well as Edexcel A level and WJEC GCSE during tutoring sessions giving me confidence across all Biology exam boards and exam styles.
My approach is usually to identify a students' prior knowledge of a topic with prepared quiz questions, then teach or review content requested. I like to use images and draw diagrams with my graphics tablet to help with this. Then we will practice the content with exam questions and review answers to build confidence for exams. My main aim is always to make students feel comfortable in their learning environment so they feel confident asking questions and using my own questioning to draw out their best answers and understanding.
