Hi - I'm Stephen, an online science and geography tutor!

I have recently graduated from the University of Leeds with a First Class Honours degree in Biology. I achieved a First Class in my dissertation as well as the top grades on my course for three consecutive years. I have been passionate about my love for Biology and nature since a young age and have 500+ hrs. experience tutoring online science and working with students.

As well as KS3, GCSE, A-Level and University level Biology, I offer tuition in all Sciences & GCSE & A-Level Geography for all exam boards.

I achieved A* in Biology at both GCSE and A-Level (both with AQA) and my dedication to the subject has only increased as I have studied it at Uni. I achieved an A in GCSE Chemistry, Physics, English Language, English Literature and an A* in GCSE & A-Level Geography

I have worked as a Field Studies Instructor in Dorset where I teach GCSE/A-Level courses using nature and the outdoors as our classroom. As well as Biology, I love to travel, hike and bake. I spent summer 2022 travelling around the UK and hiked the tallest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales.

Having just graduated, I am still I am fully aware of how difficult grasping concepts and learning as a student can be! Students need concepts explained to them in a short and concise manner. I then encourage questions to be asked before setting questions and activities and working through problems with them.

The ability of a student to explain concepts back to me is a keystone of them understanding these concepts. They should be able to do my job by the end of the session.

I determine a students type of learning (e.g. visual, auditory, written) and tailor my lessons to their form of learning (e.g. providing visual demonstrations, written explanations etc.). I have a bank of resources that I use for my lesson, and I also like to use the MyTutor whiteboard to create concise and tailored notes and summary pages that students can download and keep after each lesson.
