Hi! I’m a passionate STEM tutor specializing in GCSE Science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics) and A-Level Biology. I have a degree in psychology, achieved a 9,9 in GCSE combined science, and achieved AAA in A-level Biology, Chemistry and Mathematics. Whether you are aiming to turn a passing grade into a 7–9 at GCSE, or tackling the leap in complexity at A-Level Biology, I am here to help you build confidence and achieve your goals.

My Teaching Approach:
Every student learns differently, which is why I tailor every session to your unique learning style, pace, and current sticking points:

We break down complex topics together, turning them into digestible, intuitive concepts. I focus on active recall and clear visual models so the content actually sticks.

Exam technique is often the difference between a good grade and a great one. We will analyse mark schemes, master command words (like evaluating, explaining, and suggesting), and eliminate common traps that cost easy marks.

After our first session, I will create a customized roadmap targeting your specific exam board (AQA, OCR, Edexcel) to track your progress and bridge any knowledge gaps.

What You Can Expect:
My lessons provide a supportive, low-pressure learning environment. Mistakes are essential learning tools, and repeated exposure is what brings consistency and knowledge to exams. Students will gain a deep grasp of core scientific principles, alongside practical test-taking strategies to walk into your exam room feeling fully prepared.
