About Me
I taught in a high-performing independent school for 20 years, teaching maths and then science. For the last 10 years I was the Head of Biology. I have recently moved back to my home town of Cardigan from where I tutor full time. I always loved science growing up and benefitted from my insistence on asking questions whenever I didn't understand. I still believe that understanding is key to success and encourage it in all my students so they can be confident going into an exam.
Tutor Experience
I have been teaching for 20 years and tutoring for the last 5. I have also been an examiner during that time.
My tutoring approach is in two parts. Firstly I like to help students understand any problem topics so that they are more comfortable in dealing with the novel scenarios that exam questions will throw at them. I try to do this an an engaging manner and encourage student involvement as much as possible so that they are part of the learning process. Secondly, we then put this into practise through past paper questions. This gives me the chance to check a student's understanding whilst at the same time look for areas where exam technique can be improved. I'm a firm believer that past paper questions should be seen as opportunities to improve understanding (rather than simply checking knowledge) and I give clear strategies and guidance on how to achieve that.

Testimonials
Highly recommend Duncan's Biology tuition. I was provided with an abundance of resources and helpful activities on each topic that allowed me to not only learn but understand the content, resulting in me obtaining an A* in A-level biology.
Highly recommended. My daughter was able to benefit from Duncan’s tuition during the second year of her A level biology course. The resources provided were excellent in regards to their content and accessibility, and aided her understanding and application. Duncan was approachable, gave regular feedback and allowed the student to select the form and intensity of tuition they felt was most beneficial for each unit. In summary, a superb tutor.
