My Structured Approach to Biology Success
My teaching methodology is a proven, five-step cycle designed to build deep understanding and exam confidence for every topic we cover.

1. Direct Concept Instruction
I begin by teaching the lesson content systematically, breaking down complex biological processes and terminology into clear, manageable parts. This ensures a strong foundational understanding of the chapter.

2. Comprehensive Note-Taking
I then provide students with my own curated, exam-focused notes. These notes serve as an essential revision tool, highlighting key points, definitions, and diagrams exactly as they need to know them for the exam.

3. Application with Expected Exam Questions
Knowledge is useless without application. We immediately put theory into practice by tackling questions that are highly likely to appear in the GCSE/A-Level exams, focusing on the specific formats and command words used by boards like AQA and Edexcel.

4. Assessment through Quizzes & Tests
To gauge understanding and highlight areas for improvement, I conduct a short test or quiz on the completed chapter. This simulates exam pressure and provides clear feedback on their progress.

5. Mastery-Based Progression
We only move on to the next chapter once I am confident the student has achieved mastery of the current topic. This ensures no gaps in knowledge are carried forward, building a solid foundation for the entire syllabus.

This structured cycle ensures that students are not just passive learners but active participants in their journey to top grades.
