Alyssa

I am a FUN, ENTHUSIASTIC and EXPERIENCED science tutor, with 3 years full time Science teaching under my belt. I have a PGCE from Oxford University and an MChem from the University of Southampton as well.
I am a fully qualified, friendly and patient Science teacher, with experience in teaching and tutoring all three Sciences (Chemistry, Physics and Biology) and Maths at KS3 and GCSE, and Chemistry and Physics at A-Level. I love helping students to find their way around problems, and promoting a love of learning. I understand that everyone thinks and learns differently, so I work hard to help students access all content, and I can cater for specific needs where applicable. I am currently only available for flexible online tutoring. Please feel free to get in contact for more information!

Tutoring Experience

Since completing my PGCE at Oxford University, I have been teaching in a school near Oxford, and have tutored whilst doing this, I teach all years from Year 7 through to A Level, and have enjoyed supporting my students to achieve high grades through all key stages.

Tutoring Approach

I very much believe that students will be more inclined to enjoy Science, and do well in it, if they understand it and can apply it to all kinds of situations. I feel that modelling scientific theory and working hard to understand complex concepts and theory, is the best approach when teaching, and I work hard to help students find their way to understand Science. How people learn is extremely interesting to me, and so I hope to impart some understanding of how we learn, and I use this when I teach, as well as adapting how I teach, to the difference learning styles of those I am working with. I enjoy encouraging students to make links between concepts/parts of the curriculum to support themselves in remembering and understanding to allow them to achieve their best in their exams. I hope I can impart my love of Science through teaching, and that those I teach, whether they take it further in life or not, are able to take their knowledge with them into the wider world.
