I have been a Biology teacher for 20 years, responsive to indivdual pupil's needs, I have years of experience writing A level exams, marking A level papers for OCR and Edexcel at A level and International A level
My lessons are fully interactive and I use a wide range of techniques to explain ideas and concepts.
Lessons are relaxed yet paced to the needs of the individual.
I have an excellent track record of getting great results for pupils of all abilities.
I have been a head of Biology at two independent schools and we get over 50% A/A* every year and with the best record in the school for Oxbridge successes in the last 3 years - two to Oxford to read Biological Science and one to Cambridge to read Medicine.
Pupils in other classes come to me for top-ups and find that I can teach things in different ways that makes them really grasp the concept.
I try to be as creative as possible to ensure that I tailor every lesson to the needs of the pupil(s) in front of me.
I use all my 16 years of marking, writing and moderating for OCR and Edexcel to train my pupils how to get as many marks as possible on every question - drilling them to understand what the examiner is looking for and ensuring they hit the key words on the mark scheme to guarantee they get the marks.
Overall you couldn't ask for a more qualified or experienced A level Biology tutor.

Andrew is an excellent tutor! I began lessons with him at the start of year 13 and my confidence in Biology massively increased and ultimately helped me secure my grade for the final exams. Andrew is great at explaining the challenging content and helping with exam technique. I would definitely recommend Andrew!

Andrew is an exceptionally thoughtful and conscientious tutor who has helped our son gain both a deep understanding of the subject matter and an understanding of the structure of the respective A-level exams. Our son has always thoroughly enjoyed working with him and, as a result, has gained confidence in himself and his abilities. It is also particularly worth noting that Andrew provided us, his parents, with monthly summaries of what he had been working on with his student, without us even having to ask. He was always available and responded promptly to any concerns. We couldn’t have asked for a better tutor!
