Secondary science, Biology, chemistry and Physics KS3 and KS4. Specialism in Biology KS5.

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.

Extra information

George
Tutoring for Biology, Chemistry, Maths, Geography, RS, Physics, and English
I am a UCL Biological Sciences student seeking to offer a highly personalised tutoring experience that caters to my students' needs. I currently teach from Year 7 upwards with a speciality in exam preparation. I teach Geography, RS, Physics, and English from Years 7-11, and Mathematics, Biology, and Chemistry from Years 7-13. I aim to understand my tutees' unique concerns and explain concepts simply with many alternative approaches. As someone who has experienced obstacles to my own learning, I have a lot of empathy for students struggling with their learning, particularly those with learning differences and endeavour to develop an approach that works for them. I was a strong student in secondary school (Queen’s College, London) achieving A*s and As (and equivalents) at GCSE and three As at A-Level in Biology, Chemistry, and Mathematics. Particularly of note, I received a 9 in GCSE Mathematics, 98% in GCSE Religious Studies, and was awarded a sixth-form academic scholarship. I am an experienced tutor - I participated in a tutoring scheme in secondary school which allowed students from Year 7 to Year 12 to ask any questions they might be struggling with in any subject they wished. This allowed me to continue to engage with my GCSE content during my A-Level years and taught me how to listen to and understand the particular needs of each student at a given moment. I also tutored family and friends of family, allowing me to engage personally with my students and develop a specialised teaching approach. I offer one hour and two hour sessions and am free on weekends, after 5pm, and whenever my university timetable permits. I am generally free at all times outside of university term time.

Giancarlo
GCSE maths/science tuition and exam mentorship to guarantee A* (8-9 score) across the board
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.

General definition of cell, cell structure, the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell
The cell, the fundamental unit of all living beings, is a complex structure composed of different elements working in harmony. The plasma membrane: the protective envelope The plasma membrane is a semi-permeable barrier that delimits the cell and separates it from its environment. It consists of a double layer of phospholipids, in which various proteins are integrated. These proteins play a crucial role in the transport of substances across the membrane, cell communication and cell recognition. The cytoplasm: the internal environment The cytoplasm is the aqueous medium inside the cell. It contains many organelles, inclusions, and the cytosol. The cytosol is the liquid part of the cytoplasm, rich in enzymes and molecules necessary for the chemical reactions of the cell. The Core: The Control Center The nucleus is a characteristic organelle of eukaryotic cells. It contains the genetic information of the cell in the form of DNA, organized into chromosomes. The nucleus is surrounded by a nuclear envelope pierced by nuclear pores that allow the exchange of molecules between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Organelles: specialized factories Organelles are specialized structures present in the cytoplasm. Each of them fulfills a specific function: Mitochondria: Nicknamed the "power plants" of the cell, they are the seat of cellular respiration, a process that produces the energy needed by the cell. The endoplasmic reticulum: A network of membranes involved in the synthesis of proteins and lipids. The Golgi apparatus: A set of flattened sacs that modify, package, and distribute proteins and lipids synthesized by the endoplasmic reticulum. Lysosomes: Small vesicles containing digestive enzymes that break down unnecessary or damaged molecules. The cytoskeleton: the skeleton of the cell The cytoskeleton is a network of protein filaments that gives the cell its shape, allows it to move, and organizes its organelles. It is made up of three types of filaments: microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules. The differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells There are two main types of cells: prokaryotic cells (bacteria) and eukaryotic cells (animals, plants, fungi). Prokaryotic cells are simpler and do not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles. Eukaryotic cells, on the other hand, are more complex and have a nucleus and many organelles.

AQA A-level biology and chemistry tutoring sessions
“Biology and chemistry at A-level are nothing like GCSE” , believe me I know. I understand how overwhelming the. jump from GCSE science to A-level science can be. As a first year university student who has completed my biology and chemistry A-levels in the summer, I’ve been through the challenges you’re all facing and I’m here to help you overcome them. In my tutoring sessions we will focus on: - mastering any topics from the AQA specification you guys are unsure about, breaking them down into easy to understand concepts and focusing on parts you need to know for your exam. - practice exam questions in every session with detailed feedback to sharpen your exam technique and to know what the examiners are looking for. -EFFECTIVE revision techniques which will help you retain any key bits of information. Each session will leave you confident in both biology and chemistry, ensure you build a strong understanding of the topic and feel prepared for your exams.

Studying the biology of all living things and other components of biology
Biology can be tricky as it contains lots of different components. This can be introduced slowly as I will provide support over lessons teaching you lots of information but a slow and steady pace giving you questions and answers along the way. Homework will also be provided this is to ensure that the lesson has stuck into your head and you have grasped it. If not there is no worries as things can take a while to learn but by the end you will feel a lot less stress about what you may be learning in biology. You may be finding one specific topic in biology hard and we can always go over that in the lesson or we can find stuff to look over in the lessons to keep your brains up to date for upcoming important exams.
