I have been tutoring and teaching for over 14 years, and over half of that has been spent in the position of Head of Science or assistant principal. I believe that I am easy to be around and students feel comfortable when working with me and are confident that they can ask any question, no matter how silly they may perceive it to be. I always try to think of relevant and engaging ways to tackle a topic to enable all abilities to understand.
Having left teaching in September 2018 to spend more time with my baby daughter, I've set up my own business that designs lesson resources for other teachers. This not only means that I have access to hundreds of resources that I share during lessons to back up the learning but also means that I'm aware of the intricacies and key details of all of the specifications, including the International ones
Gareth's last completed Science job with Mindy: -
Gareth's last review in Science from Zoe: TBD Great, as always.
I have over 4 years of experience in tutoring the sciences across a range of exam boards and levels, and am focused on ensuring each of my students understands how they will best reach their goals.
I am passionate about the subjects that I tutor, and am able to deliver them in innovative and engaging ways. My aim is to build up the confidence of my students in any given subject, and to help each individual to realise their potential.
Eleanor's last completed Science job with Andy: Occasional - Looking for help to go over what is currently being taught in class. Just started my GCSE in Science (now at the start of the Spring Term of Year 9), covering Biology, Chemistry and Physics (the AQA GCSE course)
I specialise in teaching GCSE (AQA) and IGCSE (Edexcel) Biology and Chemistry. I am familiar with the requirements of the different exam boards, and can tailor my teaching specifically to your needs. Homework is set online each week to consolidate understanding, and to gain practice with answering exam-style questions.
Throughout my medical degree, I have successfully helped prospective university students and medical students with their application process, including personal statement review, interview preparation (panel interviews, multiple mini-interviews, Oxbridge interviews) and UKCAT/BMAT revision.
Elizabeth's last completed Science job with Jiya: 1-2 hrs/week - Science
Elizabeth's last review in Science from David: Go over the chemistry homework, and cover biology topics: Transport of particles: diffusion, active transport and osmosis. The girls always show exceptional engagement and retention levels after seeing Elizabeth. Excellent
I have extensive experience as a private tutor, as a classroom teacher and as an online tutor. I have worked in schools in the UK, in Europe, the Americas and Asia. I have been employed as a live in tutor by one of the most prestigious private tutoring agencies and I have worked for many years as an online tutor. I have a proven track record of improving students knowledge, understanding and exam results. I have extensive experience with students working in English as a foreign language as well as native language English speakers.
I have taught GCSE, IGCSE, A Level and IB Diploma. I have also taught the Swedish National Maths Syllabus and prepared students for 11+, 13+ and Key Stage 2 examinations.

Science job with Rachael:
Over 2 hrs/week - I have just started Year Nine (tenth grade) and I want to be ready for any tests or exams, and i especially want to move up sets for science, because I want to go to medical school.
Andy's last review in Science from David: A demonstration of the classroom , how lessons would work and a couple of activities for your two girls. Probably they can do the demo together and then we can decide how to proceed. The class was excellent. Hired.
I recently retired after 40 years teaching chemistry.
I was Head of Chemistry for 35 years and in Charge of Science for 22 years.
I won the 2016 Royal Society of Chemistry Education Award.
I have an extensive website and YouTube Channel to provide post lesson support.
For many years I was a home tutor of GCE Chemistry, using CCEA, AQA, OCR and EDEXCEL
Specifications. Over the last 2 years I have added the WJEC Specification.
Upon retirement I took up a senior position with the CCEA examining team for GCE Chemistry.
As a result I am unable to tutor students for that specification.
Comfortable with teaching online using the Spires platform,
I have an enormous bank of teaching and assessment resources available at the click of a mouse.
Thanks for you interest.
Frank.

I have years of experience both tutoring and mentoring young people, and am now working as a chemistry teacher, so I have access to useful resources, across KS3, 4 and 5. This means I can ensure the right support to help students truly understand the topic and get the best grade possible.
Lizzie's last completed Science job with Renee: 1-2_HOURS - A* result
My subject knowledge abd passion to share it with the next generation makes me a good tutor. I believe in sharing what I have gained over 15years, with a sole aim of making my students successful in their exams.
Kritika's last completed Science job with Ayshah: Intensive - I'm looking to catch up in science due to a term of and hopefully in June I will be able to achieve high level grades
Kritika's last review in Science from Zoe: Electrolysis and Chemical Equations (See message sent separately) Really impressed - very friendly and knowledgeable tutor - with wide ranging resources at her disposal
- 10 years tutoring experience in science and maths across key stage 3, GCSE and A-Levels
- 5 years teaching experience in both state and private sectors
- Have taught students which have progressed so much they have skipped a year in school
- PGCE qualified. One of London's best supertutors!
Joseph's last completed Science job with Alice: Over 2 hrs/week - to increase grades from C to A
During my undergraduate degree, I tutored students in lower years and ran a series of departmental seminars to encourage learning "beyond the textbook." I think it's important to help students make links not just between the subjects they study, but to real-world applications - a component sometimes missing in the high-pressure, rapid-paced school environment. Most crucially, I remember how stressful preparation for GCSEs and A-levels can be- and the tips and tricks students can employ to not only do well in the exam, but to really understand the material.
I am confident working with students of all abilities, particularly those who are motivated but lack confidence in their ability to tackle mathematics and the physical sciences. I am also interested in tutoring students who could benefit from a little extra support with their studies, as well as those who are seeking to be challenged beyond the school curriculum.
