Tutoring Experience

- I have taught biology for both Double and Triple Science GCSEs.

Tutoring Approach

I like a 1-on-1 approach as I think this allows a personalised method of teaching for each tutee. I will concentrate on details and refining technique as well as broadening general knowledge of each subject. I am friendly and ensure that the tutoring I do in tailored to the way each individual learns.
During term time I will only be available some evenings and weekends, not daytime.
