Lily

I am a graduate from Kings College in London, I obtained a First Class Honours Biomedical Science BSc degree. I have completed my A-Levels and obtained an A* in Biology, A in Geography and a B in Chemistry. I obtained 5 A's and 5 B's at GCSE. I can tutor Geography, Biology and Chemistry to A Level standard.

I am extremely passionate about my subjects and have a broad knowledge of each. I am well equipped to assist students with essay writing tasks as well as understanding scientific concepts. Having been through the A Level and GCSE experience recently - I am fully aware of what should and should not be done, and the best techniques to achieve the highest grades.

Tutoring Experience

I currently tutor numerous students, our lessons have been helpful to them and they have gained a much better/greater knowledge of the subject content, using a mix of teaching the content alongside exam questions. Also, I have held revision sessions for both GCSE and A Level students which they found extremely useful. I too was tutored during my school life which improved my knowledge greatly, and would love to have this same effect on my students.

Tutoring Approach

Over numerous years of studying, I have learnt the best mixture of revision techniques to achieve the greatest outcome. I feel I have an adaptive teaching style, and can cater to the needs of each individual student. One method does not work for all students - so it is important for me and my student to communicate to understand where the gaps in the knowledge are and how to improve on these.

I have tutored students across all exam boards. In order for my students to become more comfortable with the content they need to know, I look over the material and specifications with them, ensuring they are clear on each topic and explaining these concepts to the student if they are not. I create my own resources depending on the students preferred method of study in order to deliver content they wish to focus on. Then, moving on to questions to apply this knowledge to, how the question relates to the theory and how to phrase the answer for full marks.

I have access and files of numerous past papers along with the mark schemes to ensure that my students have had as much preparation and feel comfortable with the exam structure, before sitting their exams.
