I am a current Ecology PhD student with a masters in Ecology and Conservation and first class undergraduate degree in Geography. I have been tutoring at all levels from primary school to university level for 3 years and have helped students successfully pass their exams, complete coursework and write university application letters. I like to methodically go through your syllabus and work on problem areas within each individual topic as they arise. My strengths lie in being able to explain concepts in a new way, helping students grasp the issue at hand. I often find that a lack of confidence is the main hurdle students need to overcome in order to obtain their desired results so I work on ensuring students gain the confidence they need to succeed.

I have successfully tutored two students in GCSE Biology and three in A level Geography to pass their exams and obtain the results they needed to get in to their desired colleges and Universities. In all five instances I worked with the students over a 2-6 month period. Additionally I have helped two students more intensively with exam prep for their University exams. Having worked as a nanny on and off for ten years I have a wealth of experience helping younger students with anything from spelling to 11+ exams.
