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.

Need help with maths or biology?
As a biomedical scientist with a PhD in Medicine and Health Sciences, I enjoy helping students of all ages to better understand the material and learn with greater confidence. We work at your own pace and in a way that suits your learning style.

How does a lesson work?
In the first session, we identify the main difficulties together. From there, we build up step by step. I encourage questions and provide practical tips and strategies to make studying more effective.

We work through exercises together, discuss examples, and then move on to more challenging problems to deepen understanding. This approach ensures you’re well prepared for your tests and exams.

A positive learning experience
Learning should be enjoyable. With a patient, motivating and clear approach, I create a relaxed environment where it’s okay to make mistakes, and no question is too much to ask — because that’s how real learning happens.

Interested?
Feel free to get in touch for more information or to arrange your first lesson. I’ll be happy to help you move forward!
