I am a confident, outgoing and experienced science teacher specialising in biology. I am also confident in chemistry and physics. I currently teach KS3, GCSE and A-level biology students following the AQA exam board, I am also confident teaching Edexcel and OCR. I strive to make all of science accessible and enjoyable for students, relating topics to real life, and working through areas student find tough until it clicks for them. My aim with tutoring is to spend the time with a student, understanding their barriers and working on any area that they need as much as they need until they feel more happy with it. I am fully aware that science can be a barrier for some students and I aim to make the subjects more engaging and approachable. This knowledge and understanding can then be built on using exam questions to cement their understanding and hopefully it is then embedded ready for exams. Looking over exam questions is the best form of revision, but it also is a way to show students how similar questions are year and year and hopefully remove some of fear surrounding GCSEs. I am a teacher who prides herself on building positive relationships with students, both in the classroom and as a form teacher. I believe these positive relationships are the best way for students to feel confident in their own abilities and bring out the belief that they can do anything.
