Maths and Biology Tuition

Hi, I’m Viv, an experienced Biology and Maths tutor with a Ph.D. in Biomedical Genetics, a degree in Applied Biology, and years of experience working in the scientific industry (practicing what I teach!). After taking a career break to raise my children, I’m excited to be returning to teaching.

I know that when a subject doesn’t “click” it can feel really challenging, but with the right support you can build confidence and improve your results. My lessons are friendly, clear, and focused on exam technique, helping you:

1) Understand difficult concepts step by step
2) Boost exam skills with past paper practice and set answers
3) Gain confidence and reach your full potential

For my Biology students I specialise in A Level Biology and AQA exam preparation, but I teach students from all exam boards and levels. Since biological principles are universal, my lessons focus on helping you truly understand the subject - not just memorise facts! Whether you`re studying AQA, Edexcel, OCR, or GCSE Biology, I’ll make sure you feel confident and capable in every topic.

For my Maths students, sometimes it’s just one tricky topic that needs clearing up, and other times the whole subject can feel a bit much. That’s completely okay! You’re never too young or too old to boost your confidence in Maths. I get to know how you learn best, then break things down into simple, easy-to-follow steps, using examples and practice questions that suit your level. We can go at whatever pace you need, spending as long as you like on any topic until it really clicks.
