Hi, I’m Kat! With 16 years of secondary teaching experience—including roles as Head of Biology, Deputy Head of Science, and KS3 Science Coordinator—I specialise in translating complex scientific concepts into clear, digestible, and engaging lessons for my students. Whether you need tailored support for GCSEs, A-Levels, or building foundational confidence in lower secondary, I adapt my teaching to suit each student's unique learning style.

Subjects offered:
Biology: KS3, GCSE, and A-Level (including medical school application/Medical Society preparation) Physics: KS3 and GCSE
Psychology: GCSE and A-Level

Qualified Teacher: PGCE in Science (Institute of Education) & MA in Psychology (2:1, University of Glasgow).

Proven Success: High track record of academic achievement, including driving A-Level results up to 60% A*-B.

My Approach:

Targeted Interventions: I use data-driven insights to pinpoint exact knowledge gaps and build exam confidence through tailored exam techniques.

Supportive & Approachable: Backed by years of pastoral care and student mentoring, I focus on building a positive, encouraging environment where students feel comfortable taking risks and asking questions.

Interactive & Modern: I integrate interactive digital tools and real-world applications (including STEM context) to keep learning dynamic and memorable.
