About

I offer a tailored online learning service to help you meet your educational goals. If preferred, I offer in person sessions for anyone local to Christchurch.

I am an experienced and dedicated science tutor, specialising in biology, who wants the best for all my students. I have a PhD in evolutionary genetics and over 10 years of experience in successfully preparing students for their exams, whether that’s GCSEs or A-levels.

A lot of students perceive science as a difficult subject that they aren’t good at. However, with the right guidance, it is possible for any student to make a huge amount of progress. I find one-on-one teaching allows students to grow in their confidence and blossom into young scientists.

As a tutor, my students have always made significant progress and grown in their confidence and understanding of the subject. My proudest achievement is a year 9 student who was achieving grades 4 or 5 on most of his tests and is now consistently achieving grade 9 and talking about taking biology at A-level.

I also have experience of marking A-level biology papers which allows me to support my students further and provide them with important information on how to achieve top marks.

My tutoring sessions are flexible so that they can be tailor-made for each individual student. For some students, I will spend more time going through the theory so that they have a good understanding of the subject content, whereas for other students I’ll spend more time on exam questions looking at how to tackle particular questions. The end result will always be the same though, with a student feeling confident in that subject area.

When I feel it is necessary, I will give students homework to complete before their next session. On top of this, I will always provide advice on what to do between sessions to ensure they get the most out of their time with me as well as revision tips when it is necessary.

I will also update parents after each session about their child’s progress and the next steps.

Before we start the tutoring sessions I will arrange a call with you to go through this with you. You won’t be charged for this session.

I can help you with:

Key Stage 3 – Science (£25 per hour)
Key Stage 4 – GCSE Science (£35 per hour)
Key Stage 5 – A-level Biology (£45 per hour)

Sessions usually last an hour but can be longer if required. They include access to learning resources and are to be paid in advance of each session. Discounts can be negotiated for bulk bookings.
