About Me

I first began tutoring whilst at sixth form, as a dissection demonstrator, performing heart dissections for Year 3 students and teaching them about heart anatomy and circulation. Since then I've been bitten by the tutoring bug and have loved sharing my passion for biology and science with learners of all ages and abilities.

A Cambridge graduate and IB Learner, my specialities are IB tutoring and Oxbridge applications, but teach science at all levels. I believe it's important to find a student's strengths and adapt my teaching style and methods to suit each individual's needs.

Most crucial of all though, I believe learning should be fun and create practical, open and engaging sessions. Bring on the science!

Tutor Experience

I have over 3 years of tutoring experience, having taught science from 11+ to IB Higher Level. I absolutely love teaching and investing in learner's journeys to greater understanding and better grades.

I am a biologist and zoologist by training and have a deep knowledge of palaeontology, behavioural ecology, development, evolutionary science, genetics, plant and microbial sciences, pathology, physiology and cell biology. I also have experience in optimising academic writing, and developing research methodologies.

As a Cambridge graduate, I am able to help with Oxbridge admissions, working on both interview technique and tutoring for aptitude tests.

I am also a trained actor and drama teacher, and have developed a practice of clear and engaging communication and teaching, which can adapt for the needs of each learner.

Topic Expertise

My main subject of expertise is IB Biology. Having studied Biological Natural Sciences at Cambridge, and scoring a high grade 7 (95%) in my own IB Biology Higher Level, I am well placed to help explain and integrate the IB Biology syllabus.

I am also able to tutor and advise on other IB subjects, including SL Chemistry and Environmental Systems and Societies. After scoring an A in my biology-based Extended Essay, I can consult on other IB Science EE's and help in establishing a research methodology and with data analysis.

Specialising in Vertebrate Evolution, Behavioural Ecology and Developmental Biology at Cambridge, I am also an have a high level of expertise in these modules at undergraduate level, and can tutor Oxbridge University applications, specifically performing mock interviews and tutoring for the TSA.

I am also familiar with GCSE, iGCSE and A-level Biology syllabi.

Thank you for teaching me exam skills and for also helping me go through each question in the past paper with so much detail and patience! Taking time to understand each answer and explaining the reasons for the multiple-choice questions helped me think through and review many old topics. I feel a lot better about the mock exams tomorrow, thank you!
