My lessons are designed to make learning engaging, structured, and fully adapted to each student’s goals. I start by identifying your current level of understanding and the areas where you would most benefit from support, then create a tailored learning plan to build both knowledge and confidence.

Each session combines clear explanations with visual aids, guided discussion, and problem-solving activities. I strongly believe that combining visual, textual, and oral information is essential to effective learning — especially for complex biological concepts — as it helps students develop deeper understanding and long-term retention. I encourage questions and active participation, helping learners build analytical and communication skills alongside factual knowledge.

I have extensive experience teaching and supervising university students at undergraduate and postgraduate levels across biology, biochemistry, genetics, microbiology, and related subjects. I also provide dedicated support for A-level students, offering clear and structured guidance to help them gain confidence with challenging topics and prepare effectively for exams.

With over twenty years of experience in higher education, I take a patient, supportive, and adaptable approach that respects each learner’s pace and preferred learning style. Whether you are studying for your A-levels or a university degree, my goal is to help you achieve a clear, confident, and enjoyable understanding of biology and the life sciences.
