I am offering tutoring in Biology, French, Spanish and Chemistry at GCSE and A-Level levels as well as for younger children (years 7-9). I am a Biochemistry undergraduate at Imperial College London (entering my third year) and achieved an equivalent of A*A*A at A level, and am half French and can also speak Spanish at an advanced level.

Science is very interesting and important for understanding of life around us. My science lessons are easy and uses techniques to help student understand concepts easily. As we would not have all the lab resources to understand things. I use examples and power point lessons that make this easy.
My focus is also based on exam techniques , so in real exam student is not at disadvantage as they would have understanding and enough practice of exam style questions.

Hello.

I am a University of Oxford medicine graduate. I will mentor you to perform as well as possible across the board, with a focus on maths and science.

Exam results are more important than ever. The truth is that most teachers will teach in a typical way which is not conducive to actually performing as well as possible in exams across the board. The methods are too time consuming, boring and inefficient.

I will teach students to perform as well as possible in GCSE exams as quickly and efficiently as possible, regardless of your ability. I will distil the content down into the most concise, simple format and combine this with exam techniques and revision strategies which ACTUALLY WORK to help you achieve similar results in any subject.

The skills I will teach come from my own experience of achieving 14A*s at GCSE and 5A*s at A-level, even in subjects I was not good at. The skills I teach can be applied to any subject and will help you to learn faster and more efficiently.

Anyone can achieve this regardless of current academic performance. I will mentor you continuously and meet once weekly to discuss new strategies, address concerns and ensure you perform as well as possible with minimum stress.

Freshly graduated from Paul Sabatier University in Toulouse.
I would be delighted to help your child acquire a true scientific spirit.
During my professional career, I had the chance to work many times with children / teenagers / young adults as a private teacher but also camp director / health assistant or tutor for first-timers arriving at my university.

I specialise in providing high level tutoring for both GCSE English language, English literature or Triple Science. I have complete up to date knowledge of the AQA exam board and I aim to make the students receive level 8’s and 9’s within these subjects. I assign homework after each lesson and provide reports of students progress per session.

I've been working as a tutor in chemistry and biology primarily alongside my full time employment and studies
for 6 years. I've supported students through their GCSEs, A Levels, and generally with confidence in these subject areas and beyond.

I work with students one on one in a tailored programme to meet their individual needs. We'll have an initial session to discuss what I can help with and then figure out a plan based on goals and upcoming exams. The work is completely personalised and I work alongside my students to make sure we are matching learning styles and preferences, whilst working towards particular grades/goals.

Are you struggling to keep up with your Biology content? Do you find it hard to understand complex biological concepts and theories? Look no further! I am here to help you achieve your academic goals and excel in biology.

I am a highly qualified and experienced secondary science teacher who has a passion for teaching and a deep understanding of biology. I am well-versed in all aspects of biology, from cellular and molecular biology to ecology and evolution, and can explain difficult concepts in a clear and concise manner. I have 5 years of teaching all three secondary science subjects in KS3 and KS4, as well as 4 years of Biology A-level.

Whether you need help with homework assignments, exam preparation, or just want to deepen your understanding of biology, I can provide personalised, one-on-one guidance and support. I will work with you to identify your strengths and weaknesses, and tailor their approach to your individual learning style and pace.

I can use a variety of teaching methods and resources, such as interactive simulations, videos, and diagrams, to make the learning experience engaging and enjoyable. I am also patient, friendly, and approachable, and will create a supportive and encouraging learning environment.

Most of the lessons will follow this structure;

1. An Introduction, explaining the concept and its importance.

2. Inquiry-based activity: This could be a work sheet, mind map or data.

3. Experimentation: Should there be an experiment linked, we will explore its importance.

4. Data analysis: Once the experiments are completed, we will then analyse the data and make graphs or tables to show their results. We will have a discussion on the patterns and trends observed, and ask my student to explain the underlying biological mechanisms.

5. Concept mapping: To consolidate their understanding we will create a concept map or a mind map that summarises the main concepts and relationships involved in the process.

6. Closure: To wrap up the lesson, I will pose some open-ended questions to stimulate further reflection and inquiry. Then, finish with some exam style questions.

By following these steps, I can create a student-centred, inquiry-based learning experience that combines hands-on experimentation, data analysis, and concept mapping with collaborative and reflective learning. This type of lesson can help the students develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills, as well as a deeper understanding of the complex and fascinating world of biology.

As an aspiring engineer consistently achieving top grades, I have witnessed firsthand how mathematics is often taught as a one-size-fits-all subject. However, I believe that creativity is the key to unlocking understanding for those who have previously struggled with math. That's why I am passionate about teaching math in a unique and innovative way, using out-of-the-box thinking to help students grasp complex mathematical concepts. My goal is to nurture their problem-solving skills and empower them to conquer any math challenge they encounter.

I'm a school teacher who is based in London. I have been a certified teacher for about a year and a half, and my main subjects are science, biology, social science, and math. I also teach music, and used to be a piano teacher at a studio in Canada for 10 years. I can help with test preparation, essay writing, homework completion, reading, and general support. I have taught students aged 3 to adult. I can tailor classes to suit my students' needs, whether it's 30 minutes or 2 hours. I can meet via webcam, or at the students' home if the location isn't too far.
