As a recent top-grade student with Grade 9s in Biology and Chemistry, I bring fresh insight and first-hand experience with the current GCSE curriculum. My lessons are built around simplifying tricky topics, sharpening exam technique, and building real confidence in science — specifically for those who find it intimidating.

Each 1-hour lesson is fully tailored to your learning style and goals. We’ll begin with a clear explanation of core concepts, then dive into active recall tasks and past-paper style questions to stretch your thinking. I include regular check-ins throughout to ensure ideas are landing — not just being memorised. The goal is a true understanding of all topics in specification so you feel confident in the lead up to your exams.

I strive to maintain a structured, supported learning environment where students feel comfortable engaging with every topic, asking questions, and learning from mistakes. My aim is to make science accessible and manageable, regardless of starting point or confidence level. My sessions are designed to be calm and friendly so students are encouraged to ask questions, and learn without pressure. Whether you're aiming for top grades or just want science to feel less overwhelming, I’m here to support your journey.

Though I’m new to tutoring professionally, I’ve helped many classmates find their footing in GCSE science by breaking down complex ideas into manageable steps, building revision strategies that actually stick, and encouraging them to see science as something they can conquer.
