A level Biology and GCSE science teacher - 20 years experience. Support for exams and course preparation

I was fortunate enough to have Jemma help me through my A level biology, her persistence and drive to help me do well is really what got me through the course. I’d always struggled with my attention and attitude towards learning usually being the class clown in any room , but Jemma’s depth a multitude of approaches to learning and retaining information really helped. I’d recommend Jemma to any child looking to strive for excellence or understanding that learning is not always a chore.

Mrs. Holroyd was my A Level Biology teacher and played a key role in helping me secure a place at Imperial to study Biomedical Sciences. She is by far the best teacher I’ve had; exceptionally knowledgeable and truly committed to her students’ success. What set her apart was her ability to explain complex biological concepts in a clear, structured way that actually stuck. She provided tailored exam questions and prep that mirrored the style and difficulty of real A Level exams, which made revision much more effective. Her feedback was always detailed and actionable, helping me improve my exam technique and understand where I was losing marks. She consistently went the extra mile, whether it was running extra sessions before exams, reviewing practice papers one-on-one, or answering questions outside of class. Thanks to her support, I felt confident and well-prepared throughout my A Levels. I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better teacher.

It was very nice! She is always very patient with us even if I asked her the same question for many times, she will always explain it to me and make sure I understand before moving on. Not only that, she always notices my condition when I was over stressed and help me overcome those hard times, and cared for me a lot after I got better, and make sure I was okay. I really enjoyed being her student!
