Hello! I offer online biology lessons for students who want help with classwork, a topic they find difficult or exam revision. In our first lesson, I'll ask what you're studying and where you'd like some help. You can bring your class notes, a homework question or an exam paper so we can start with something you're already working on.

In a typical lesson, we'll focus on one topic at a time. I'll explain the ideas using diagrams and everyday examples. Then we'll work through a question together. If we're studying inheritance, for example, we might draw a simple genetic cross to see how siblings can inherit different traits. You'll then try a similar question and talk me through your reasoning so I can see which parts need more practice.

We can cover topics such as cell structure, photosynthesis, inheritance and ecology. If you're preparing for an exam, we'll look at how to approach questions that ask you to describe, explain or compare. We can review a mark scheme together so you can see how marks are awarded and where to add detail to your answers.

You can ask questions at any point, and we can go back over an explanation whenever you need to. At the end of each lesson, we'll recap what you've learnt and pick one or two things to practise before next time. As you become more confident, we'll move on to questions that ask you to apply the same ideas in new situations.

If you'd like to arrange a lesson, send me a message with your current level, the topic you'd like help with and any exam date you're working towards.
