About Me
Hi! I’m a qualified Secondary Science Teacher with a specialism in Chemistry, currently teaching Biology, Chemistry and Physics in a secondary school. Working in the classroom every day means I have up-to-date knowledge of the KS3 and GCSE curriculum, as well as the exam skills and techniques students need to succeed.
I believe that every student is capable of making progress when they feel supported and understood. I aim to create a positive, encouraging learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes and developing confidence in their abilities.
Whether your child needs help strengthening the basics, preparing for GCSE exams or building confidence in Science, I will tailor every lesson to their individual learning style and goals. My aim is not only to improve grades but also to help students enjoy learning and become independent, confident learners.
Tutor Experience
I am a qualified UK Secondary Science Teacher with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), currently teaching Biology, Chemistry and Physics in a secondary school. Working in the classroom every day means I have an up-to-date understanding of the KS3 and GCSE curriculum, current exam specifications and the knowledge and skills students need to succeed.
I have experience teaching students across the full ability range, including those with SEND, EAL and high-attaining pupils aiming for top GCSE grades. I regularly differentiate lessons to meet individual needs and focus on building confidence alongside improving academic performance.
As part of my role, I teach mixed-ability classes, deliver practical lessons, assess student progress, provide targeted feedback and prepare students for GCSE examinations. I also support students through intervention sessions, helping them close knowledge gaps and develop effective exam technique.
My experience as a classroom teacher means I understand the misconceptions students commonly have and can explain difficult scientific concepts in a clear, engaging way that helps students make lasting progress.
