Biology / Chemistry tutor

Advert description
Are you or your child struggling with science concepts, preparing for GCSEs or A-Levels, or looking to boost confidence in Biology or Chemistry? I’m here to help. With over 15 years of experience teaching science across KS3, GCSE, and A-Level, I specialise in providing personalised, engaging, and results-focused tutoring that makes science clear, exciting, and achievable.
I’ve worked with hundreds of students across exam boards including AQA, Edexcel, and OCR, helping them navigate topics like cell biology, organic chemistry, genetics, and quantitative chemistry. My students range from those aiming for top grades to those who need to rebuild their confidence and understanding. Many have gone on to exceed their predicted grades and develop a genuine passion for the subject.

What Makes My Tutoring Different?

My approach is student-centred, meaning every session is tailored to how you learn best. Whether you're a visual learner who benefits from diagrams and animations, or someone who learns through practice and repetition, I adapt to your needs.

For example, I’ve helped students grasp complex topics like protein synthesis by turning it into a story-telling exercise, or understand moles and titrations through interactive problem-solving and real-life analogies (like recipes and baking measurements!). I also use exam-board-specific question banks, active recall techniques, and spaced repetition to reinforce knowledge and ensure long-term retention.

Exam Preparation & Strategy

Success in science isn’t just about knowing the content—it’s about knowing how to apply it in exams. I place a strong focus on exam technique:

Breaking down mark schemes so students understand what examiners are looking for.

Teaching how to structure extended response answers using command words like "describe," "explain," and "evaluate".

Practising past paper questions under timed conditions to build confidence and speed.

Regular diagnostic assessments to identify gaps and track progress over time.

Many students find science overwhelming due to the volume of content. That’s why I also teach smart revision techniques—mind mapping, flashcards, mini whiteboard quizzes, and “teach-back” methods—so students learn actively, not passively.

My daughter studied under Ms Himali for both GCSEs and A-Levels. She was a great tutor and has a strong ability to break down difficult concepts into clear, manageable steps while keeping the lessons engaging. Ms Himali also referred my daughter to various helpful resources to aid further and deepen my daughter's understanding with weaker areas and was always available for any questions. Ms Himali was throughout the years she taught my daughter, very committed to my daughter's progress. Her help during both sets of my daughter's exams made a noticeable difference in my daughter's confidence and ultimately, results. She was clearly very passionate and her encouragement and knowledge directly attributed to my daughter's strong results. Thank you Ms Himali, for your teaching and commitment for my daughter

Both my daughters had Biology and Chemistry tuition for GCSE and Biology for A/levels from Ms. Himali. Her energy always lifts the whole classroom. She is positive and passionate about her job which in turn motivates her students. She has a broad understanding and knowledge of the subjects, which sparks an interest in wanting to know more than the required syllabus. I'd recommend her to absolutely anyone!

Ms Himali is an excellent tutor who helped my son achieve top grades in GCSE Biology and Chemistry, as well as Alevel Biology. Her clear explanations, tailored lessons and exam-focused approach really boosted his confidence and understanding. I highly recommend Ms Himali to any student preparing for exams.
