My lessons are designed to be clear, engaging, and tailored to each student’s individual needs. I always begin by understanding your current level, learning goals, and preferred style of working, so that I can adapt both the pace and the content of our sessions. Whether you’re preparing for exams, tackling difficult topics, or simply want to build a stronger foundation in biology, I will create a structured plan that supports steady and measurable progress.

Each lesson usually starts with a short recap of previous material to consolidate knowledge, followed by a clear explanation of new concepts. I use examples, diagrams, and discussion to bring the subject to life, before moving into practice questions and problem-solving activities to test understanding and boost confidence. For students working towards exams, I integrate past paper practice, mark scheme analysis, and revision strategies to help you apply your knowledge effectively under timed conditions.

I hold a Master’s degree in Biomedical Sciences, giving me a strong background across areas such as cell biology, physiology, genetics, and cancer biology. My research experience means I am used to handling complex information and can explain it in a way that is simple, approachable, and engaging.

I aim to make lessons interactive and supportive, encouraging students to ask questions, explore ideas, and feel comfortable making mistakes as part of the learning process. My goal is not only to help you achieve excellent results, but also to spark genuine curiosity and long-term confidence in biology. With patience, structure, and encouragement, I help students unlock their full academic potential.
