Qualification:

PhD in Molecular Biology (University of Oxford); Pharmacology BSc (1st Class Hons, King's College London); British born and educated.

Experience:

I am a full-time Science tutor and have a First class degree in Pharmacology from Kings College London and a PhD from the University of Oxford. I provide online tuition and have been teaching science at GCSE, iGCSE, A level and university level for over 8 years and have worked with a variety of pupils with various abilities, learning styles, strengths and weaknesses. Review of my tuition service can be found on http://www.firstclasssciencetuition.co.uk/client-testimonials/

Approach:

I provide a personalised tuition programme either online or in the tutee's home and can also provide home schooling/ education during the day. The tuition sessions are very structured and tailored to the needs and learning style of the student, focusing on any weaknesses. These needs are usually pinpointed within the first meeting and I tailor all sessions to the individual specific exam board. I apply a variety of different teaching techniques and styles that I have found to be effective in order to make studying enjoyable, interesting as well as beneficial, helping students to reach and excel to their full potential. My strategy in teaching addresses multiple areas to greatly benefit student's approach to learning which helps build their confidence. These include: - Help students to actually understand concepts and topics (rather than simply memorising facts) - Support with exam techniques, specific exam terminology and definitions that are commonly asked - Extensive exposure to actual exam board specific questions (I have an extensive array of relevant up-to-date educational and past exam papers, split by topic, for all subjects) - Provide support with revision techniques and advice to self learn and self motivate - Assist with composing an effective weekly study schedule tailored and based around the student's extra-curricular activities - Provide comprehensive feedback after each lesson on student's progress, homework results and areas to improve
