My lessons are interactive, supportive, and tailored to each student’s needs. I like to start by finding out what areas you find challenging and what you’d like to focus on most. From there, I break topics down into simple steps and explain them clearly, using examples and questions to make sure you really understand the material.
I like to keep lessons engaging by using visuals, short exercises, and real-life examples to show how the topics link to the world around us. Once you’re confident with the basics, we’ll move on to exam-style questions and practice activities to help you apply what you’ve learned and build strong exam skills.
My lessons are aimed mainly at GCSE Science students, especially in Biology, but I’m happy to support across other science topics too. I’ll always adapt the pace and style of each session depending on how you learn best, whether that means taking more time to explain things, revising key ideas, or doing focused exam preparation.
As a Biomedical Science graduate, I have a solid understanding of scientific concepts and enjoy making them easy to grasp. I know how stressful exams can be, so I aim to create a calm, encouraging environment where you can ask questions freely and build confidence. My goal is for every student to finish each lesson feeling clearer, more confident, and motivated to keep improving.
