Claire

An experienced A Level Biology Examiner, and Teacher for over 20 years, plus an experienced Head of Biology. I specialise in exam technique for A Level Biology to raise students’ grades to A*

My work as an Examiner for A Level Biology helps me focus students on the technique required to get the grades.

As well as tutoring at home, I also tutor online which gives more flexibility to students (digital resources are provided).

As well as weekly sessions I also offer a series of intensive tutoring sessions when required.

Discounts are available for group sessions.

Intensive revision tutoring sessions at half term, led by experienced AS and A Level Biology examiner and teacher. Bring friends and receive discounted prices in small, personalised classes tailored to students' needs and requirements. Contact me for more details or to book a place.

I also work as a freelance Personal Trainer (fitness), and in my leisure time, I am an ultramarathon runner, as well as holding the ranks of Black Belt in Taekwondo, Shotokan Karate and Okinowan Kobudo.

Tutoring Experience

Throughout my 22 years of teaching, I have taught A level Biology, AS Biology, Science (KS3-GCSE), Health & Social Care (A level), Physical Education and PSHE.

Tutoring Approach

I quickly develop positive relationships with my students. This allows me to tailor my approach to the specific needs of the individual. Every student is different, so every approach needs to be different.

I build confidence within in my students and ensure they feel comfortable to ask questions in order to ensure their success.

Working for the exam board means I also coach my students in examination technique and in how to gain marks in examinations (a key component in exam success!) as well as clearly explaining the subject content.
