Tuition in GCSE Science, A-level Chemistry and A-level Biology
Services I offer
I have 14 years of experience in tutoring science, with a particular focus on Chemistry and Biology. I'm a firm believer that if a student doesn't understand a topic, it's my job to make them understand. My style is very adaptive as I work with high and low attainment students, both with and without learning disabilities. On average, my students will see a three-grade improvement in the subjects I teach them - and given I aim to teach them not just my own subjects, but how to study, they usually see a similar improvement across all their subjects.
Personalised learning plans
All of my students receive a learning plan tailored specifically to them, which I do expect them to follow. If you're a parent or guardian, don't worry: you'll have access to this too to keep an eye on them!
As part of this plan, I ask students to fill in a daily log of how many hours they spend studying. This covers all their subjects (not just the ones I teach!) and is an invaluable learning resource they can take with them as they move onto university.
On call support
Yes, really!
I create a personal Whatsapp group for every student and their parent or guardian, where they can message me to get help with what they're working on. Students can message me any time to request help with a topic or question they're currently working on. I aim to respond the same day, and in any event, within twenty four hours (excluding weekends), for no extra charge.
Personal Statement Advice
When it's time to apply for university, I offer detailed feedback on personal statements covering the content, style of writing and grammar. Most of my students take me up on this, and I'm proud to say in 14 years, I've yet to have a student not receive an offer of a place.
