Experience / Qualifications
Science is a subject I’ve always loved for the way it helps us understand the world around us and I bring that enthusiasm into every lesson I teach. My aim is to make Biology and Chemistry not just manageable, but genuinely interesting and rewarding for my students. I’m particularly passionate about helping pupils prepare for their GCSE exams, focusing on developing the skills and confidence they need to succeed.I have experience with both AQA and Edexcel syllabi and regularly use common textbooks such as CGP GCSE Biology and Oxford’s AQA GCSE Biology series. My sessions are structured around building subject knowledge, mastering exam technique, and breaking down tricky topics into simple, memorable steps.
This class is designed to help GCSE Chemistry students build the skills and confidence they need to succeed in their exams. Whether you’re studying AQA or Edexcel, I’ll guide you through the key question types, common pitfalls, and strategies for tackling even the most challenging exam questions.
We’ll focus on:
Understanding command words and mark schemes
Structuring answers to calculation and extended-response questions
Reviewing key content through targeted revision
Practising with past paper questions
Learning memory techniques for tricky topics
Each session is tailored to your exam board and individual learning needs. Perfect for Year 10s wanting to get ahead or Year 11s preparing for mocks or final exams.
A-Level Biology can be content-heavy and challenging—but with the right exam skills, you can turn your knowledge into top marks. This class focuses on building the techniques and confidence needed to tackle AQA or OCR A Biology exams successfully.
In these sessions, we will:
Break down exam questions and command words
Learn how to write clear, concise, and structured answers
Tackle data analysis and practical-based questions
Understand what examiners are looking for in longer responses
Review tricky topics and apply them to past paper questions
Develop effective revision strategies and time management skills
Whether you're aiming for a grade boost, preparing for mocks, or working towards top university offers, this class will be tailored to your specific needs and exam board.
