Gemma

I’m friendly and approachable with a passion for all science, especially anything relating to physics and space. I studied Radiotherapy at university but decided to change my career after a few years and completed my PGCE.

Tutoring Experience

Started teaching in 2007. Have taught in two mainstream secondary schools and more recently in an independent boarding school. The latter is where I’ve gained the most experience and satisfaction from teaching. My main subject is physics but have experience teaching biology and chemistry too. With the recent lockdowns I have also gained recent experience with online teaching. I have been able to engage my students with the use of interactive resources.
The specifications that I am currently teaching are: AQA A level physics
Edexcel GCSE Combined Science
Edexcel GCSE Physics

Tutoring Approach

I like to think I have a calm and flexible approach to teaching/tutoring. I can adapt my lessons to a students needs to make sure they get the best outcome possible to help them succeed.
