Tamzin Holden

My lessons are clear, organised, and designed to make challenging scientific concepts feel approachable. I aim to create a comfortable, supportive space where students can ask questions freely and develop genuine understanding to take with you into examinations, where you understand what the examiner wants from you when answering each question.

Each session will include:
A quick review of previous topics or any questions you bring.
Clear explanations of new material, supported by diagrams, examples, and step-by-step breakdowns
Active practice, such as problem-solving, data interpretation, or exam questions
Writing or presentation guidance if needed (e.g., structuring essays, explaining experiments, preparing slides)
A summary of key points and goals for the next lesson.
While I’m still building my tutoring experience, I’ve:
Successfully helped classmates, peers, and younger students understand difficult topics
Developed strong communication skills
Learned how to break down complex ideas clearly
Gained a solid foundation in the subject areas I teach
I’m enthusiastic, well-prepared, and committed to helping you improve with every session.

My teaching style is:
Interactive — I ask guiding questions and encourage active participation
Patient and encouraging — I explain concepts as many times as needed
Flexible — if something isn’t working, we adjust the approach
Goal-oriented — we track your progress over time.
