Emily

Hello, my name is Emily Sturgess, and I'm here to help you through your Biology courses and exams! I studied Biological Sciences at the University of Oxford, and have a Masters in the ecological sciences (in Species Identification) from the University of Reading. I spent several years after university working in development for a charity passionate about science communication, which put me in good stead for one-to-one tutoring. I really enjoy my subject and helping you to grasp both the basics and the complicated concepts with confidence.

I am based in Oxford (Marston) and all my teaching is currently online.

Tutoring Experience

*I am currently taking enquiries for lessons starting September '23 onwards

I have over 300 hours of experience of teaching GCSE and A-level Biology, and pre-GCSE (Y8-9) science & maths, and enjoy teaching at all of those stages, with students of all abilities. My teaching style is relaxed and student-led, to help you the most in the ways you need it.

Tutoring Approach

My teaching style is informal and student-led, to help you the most in the ways you need it. My aim is to help you in the areas you're struggling, and to consolidate your knowledge.

Come to me with your knotty areas and exam prep, and we can go over what you need to know. I'll try and help you get to grips with the finer details, while also helping you to understand its wider biological context.
