My lessons are designed to support students studying GCSE Biology, helping you build confidence and achieve the best results possible. Having achieved a Grade 8 in GCSE Biology myself and going onto study biochemistry at university , I know the ins and outs of the subject and exactly what examiners are looking for. This allows me to share not only clear explanations of the content but also the strategies needed to secure high marks.
Each lesson is tailored to your needs. We start by identifying the areas you find most challenging, then work step by step through the core GCSE Biology topics: cells and cell structure, genetics, ecology, human biology, health and disease, and more. I break down difficult concepts into simple, memorable explanations and use diagrams, exam-style questions, and practical examples to reinforce learning.

The format of my lessons is interactive, I encourage students to ask questions and think critically about the subject, rather than just memorising facts. Together we practise exam questions, work on revision techniques, and learn how to apply biological knowledge in different contexts. I also provide extra tips on how to approach extended answer questions, manage time in exams, and revise effectively.

Because I’ve recently been through the GCSE process myself, I understand the challenges and pressures students face. My aim is to make lessons supportive, engaging, and enjoyable while ensuring you leave each session with greater confidence and understanding. With patience, enthusiasm, and proven knowledge, I’m here to help you succeed in GCSE Biology.
