Online Biology Tutor Conor

I have been teaching and mentoring for many years, and am excited to bring this experience over to the realm of professional tutoring. Over this time I have worked for schools, universities and volunteer organisations, and taught pupils from primary school age all the way through to undergraduate finalists at Oxford Brookes University and the University of York. My specialty is in the Biological Sciences, but I have taught a wide array of topics, such as statistics, chemistry and mathematics, and even dabbled in art.

I specialise in working with small groups or on a 1-to-1 basis. As a general rule, my aim is to “meet students where they are” in terms of knowledge and understanding of a topic, and then break it down into comprehensible chunks that the student is able to understand. I seek to ensure students have a solid grasp of the fundamentals of a topic so they are able to solve future challenges from first principles and have a true framework of knowledge, rather than simply memorising disparate facts and answers.

I like to be flexible in my approach in order to better accommodate the student’s needs and style of learning, and balance fostering genuine interest in the topic to encourage self-directed learning and pragmatic preparation for upcoming exams to ensure students’ success

Biological sciences is my speciality, and thus where I have the most expertise and experience. I am a research scientist and I have taught biological sciences at various levels over the past 10 years, from KS1 to university finals. Most recently I have been teaching the 3rd-year module Advanced Topics in Wildlife Conservation at Oxford Brookes University.

Although my specialty is in biology, I also offer tuition in the various subjects in which a good understanding is important to success in biology. I have previously tutored chemistry at GCSE and A-Level, and tutored mathematics at GCSE

I offer tuition in the following:
KS3, GCSE & IGCSE:
- Biology - AQA, OCR, Edexcel & CIE
- Chemistry - AQA, OCR, Edexcel
- Physics - AQA, OCR, Edexcel
- Geography - AQA, OCR, Edexcel
- Mathematics - AQA, OCR, Edexcel

A-Level:
- Biological Sciences - AQA, OCR & Edexcel

IB:
Biological Sciences - International Baccalaureate

Undergraduate Study:
- I can offer tuition in all topics included in a biological sciences degree at a first-year level. As a biological sciences degree, and a career in research, also requires various secondary skills such as statistics, simple coding and experimental design, I also cover these topics. Beyond this I offer more limited tuition in particular modules. See below for details.

For second year undergraduates, I offer tuition in the following topics:
- Ecology and Conservation
- Evolution
- Genetics
- Plant Biology
- Animal Behaviour
- Quantitative methods and coding
- Experimental Design
- Exam/Assessment Technique and dissertation support

For finalists, I offer tuition in ecology and conservation, exam technique and dissertation support.
