About Me

Academic Tutoring Opportunity!

Hello Perspective Students

Does your son/daughter mix up their atoms with their cells? Are the details of Plants vs Animals, Molecules vs Compounds or Force vs Motion still a mystery to them? Are they simply struggling for confidence in science? It is never too early to start preparing for that ever-looming pressure of exams. I am here to offer my services as an academic tutor.

Who am I?
As a recent science teacher (specialising in Biology) employed at Wellington College, Thailand I know exactly what both you and your children require to be successful in the classroom. I have developed my educational skills through degrees from several higher learning institutions (Cambridge, UCL and Edinburgh universities) and have multiple years of teaching experience, achieving consistently high-class averages at both GCSE and A level.

My offer:
I will design a personal program for each individual student to identify areas of weakness, develop strategies to improve both grades and exam technique alongside making learning fun and engaging. I can offer tuition in any science discipline up to GCSE (Year 7-11) and Biology for A level (Year 12/13). This can be at your convenience outside of school hours, both in-person and online lessons are possible.

Contact me:
Please get in touch to discuss pricing and availability. I am first adaptable and can be flexible to your unique situation and requirements

Looking forward to hearing from you and all the best

Mr Callum Vickerstaff MEd, PGCE, MSc, BSc
