Tutoring Experience

Designed and delivered bespoke Biology tutorials for GCSE-level students during a summer school, fostering engagement and comprehension of key biological topics.

Tutoring Approach

For GCSE Biology, I emphasise a thorough understanding of the syllabus by first reviewing the exam board's specification with the student. I assess areas of strength and weakness and adapt my teaching to their needs, incorporating concept discussions, regular question checkpoints, and past paper practice. I aim to foster long-term retention and confidence by regularly revisiting topics and encouraging students to take ownership of their studies. Biology is an exciting subject, and I strive to inspire curiosity and a deeper appreciation of the natural world in my students.
