Every lesson follows a simple structure designed to build knowledge that actually stays. We start with a quick quiz reviewing what we covered last time not to test you, but to refresh the pathways in your brain before we add anything new. It has helped me when I was a student and so far I have seen the kids I have worked with benefit from it too. Then we move into new content but not by reading through a textbook. I teach through logic and patterns: understanding why a process works the way it does, so you're not memorising isolated facts but building a map where everything connects. Once you see the logic, the detail follows naturally. For anything that still needs memorising definitions, sequences, classifications,I use mnemonics and analogies tailored to how you think. A good analogy doesn't just help you remember; it helps you understand, which means you can apply the concept to questions you've never seen before. Finally, everything we cover gets written into a concise summary note at the end of the session your own revision resource, built lesson by lesson. My background is in Biotechnology (MSc, Newcastle University), with hands-on laboratory experience and a research dissertation on microbial gene regulation. I bring that depth into lessons as real-world context and interesting facts that make Biology feel like a living subject, not a list of things to memorise.
