Biology tutor. I can tutor students up to GCSE and provide helpful strategies that work until at least the 3rd year of university

Hello, my name is Aaron Gray. I have a BTEC extended diploma in Applied Science in which I achieved DDM. I am currently in my third year of an integrated master's degree in Zoology. I struggled at GCSE level but improved by developing strategies that remain effective today. I have little experience but have recently been where you are, and I understand what is needed to improve.

Experience

Completed and passed GCSE in 2017. Achieved DDM in an Applied Science diploma. Currently completing an integrated master’s degree in biological science (Zoology).


Qualities

Modules I am strong on include...

- Ecology

- Evolution

- Bioenergetics

- Reproduction

- Gene Engineering

- Natural Environments

- Nervous System

- Biodiversity

- Gene Variation

- Heredity

- Genetics


Personally

- Passionate about Zoology

- Effective communication techniques – written and Spoken

- Critically and analytically minded

- Relaxed and Friendly

- Active listener

I am happy to change and adjust my teaching strategy based on students.


Teaching Methods

The principles used in my lessons would be based on how to hyperfocus, the 1% rule, and thinking fast and slow.

- Relationship learning

- Fundamental principle focused

- 25-minute work, 5-minute break (maximum focus and plasticity).

- Principle of hyperfocus and scatter focus

- Focus intensity and learning

- Meta-awareness

- Use of intentions to maximize effectiveness of learning

- Habit formation to keep long term improvement

- Compound effects of daily improvements

- Ability to understand and differentiate between type 1 and 2 thinking.

- Identification of biases and then to overcome them

- Analysis and Evaluation of ideas

Listed principles are applied and withdrawn depending on the level and personality of the student.

- Lower level: General approach: High focus on fundamentals, relationships, and exam technique.

- Higher level: Specific approach: Focus on areas of weakness, relationships, and critical/analytical thinking models.

I offer basic teaching strategies also. However, I listed techniques that are more unique to my lessons.

I hope to hear from you, my approac
