About Me

I'm Dawood, A student in Edinburgh Napier University.

As a dedicated and high-achieving GCSE student with a passion for biology, I have consistently earned straight A's in the subject. I am eager to continue excelling in biology and am trying to teach students to provide additional support and guidance in order for you to excel in my favourite subject.

Education

I have completed my GCSE in 2022 and earned straight As in Biology and Physics. Although I have completely changed my field to Computer Sciences, I still am eager to teach the subject because I'm good at it.

Experience / Qualifications

Studied biology for atleast 12 and half years in my life and always had remarkable grades in it. As my favourite subject, I am still studying it as an additional subject in my university degree.

Academy Profession Degree in Chemical and Biotechnical Science (BAAA Denmark)
HND in Biological and Chemical Sciences (Coventry University)
BSc Hons in Biomedical Science (Edinburgh Napier University)

I am a huge science enthusiast with particular interests in data science, molecular biology and organic chemistry, additionally to my lab technician and research experience I have participated in teaching students a variety of scientific concepts, methods (e.g. at University of Warwick), so rest assured I will give my 100% to make sure that you overcome difficult topics with ease!

I have been struggling with understanding plenty of scientific principles, such as molar calculations, the way the lactose operon works, or even DNA replication and I managed to get through it all. That makes me want to help you fellow students as well, as I strongly believe that if someone cannot explain something in plain English he doesn't understand it enough to teach!

Overview:
I offer bespoke tutoring services to school pupils and individuals studying History, Politics, and English. With a background in History and experience in the teaching and media sectors, I provide a professional, insightful, and comprehensive service aimed at improving a client's understanding of a topic, their confidence within it, and targeting specific issues and skills as required.

I also provide advice on university selection and applications, building on experience as an applicant myself and coach for successful applicants to highly selective universities (including Oxford, St Andrews, and UCL).

Teaching methodology:
I believe that the best way to teach is to communicate, work out the student's needs with them, and proceed from there. We live in a diverse world, and it's important to reflect that diversity in teaching. I believe in using a variety of sources to help teach, ranging from films, to books, to music clips. This is particularly important in the context of clients with LS needs, as a focus on one kind of source can impact the pupil's experience,and hinder their success.

My lessons are based on a core Learning Objective, changing from lesson to lesson with the curriculum. Around that, there will be a series of case studies, examples, and anecdotes, with personalised support for exam answers if required. Half the battle with the humanities is ensuring that good ideas are communicated well- I seek to teach history and support the development of those communication skills to ensure that the pupil's ability is reflected.

Biology is fascinating - we're all composed of complex molecular interactions! Why not learn more about it?

My experience in academia has shown me that we all learn differently. I prefer tailoring my teaching methods upon learning more about what works for the student.

I'm a Bachelor's degree in Neuroscience from the University of Edinburgh. I work in a research laboratory part-time and have prior experience with teaching science to children.

The chemical basis of life, cell structure and function, metabolism, reproduction, genetics, evolution, biological diversity and classification, plant and animal structure and function, and ecology are just a few of the biological themes that students will explore.

Are you thinking of applying to Oxbridge for Life Sciences (Natural Sciences, Biology, Biomedicine)?

With acceptance rates averaging around 15%, you want to give yourself the best chance to get that offer! And this is where I come in. I hold a 1st from Oxford in Biological Sciences and have volunteered as an Admissions mentor for over three years, coaching students through the application process. We will work together to adapt the course to your needs, working flexibly to focus on the areas where you want extra support.

How can I help?
- Personal Statement Support: Writing a personal statement doesn’t have to be painful. We will create an initial outline using your experiences and interests, producing a clear message and story throughout. Then, I will provide editing support, helping you to cut words down for the strict character limits.
- Course and College Selection: Overwhelmed by the choice of courses/colleges? I can provide personal, insider knowledge into each college, helping you to make the right decision for you.
- Tutorial Prep: Using my knowledge of the tutorial system, I design personalised tutorials based on your interests, fostering your love of science and building your confidence. Self-belief is an underrated skill, and together we will work to develop your confidence to speak up, even if you think you are wrong.
- Interview Prep: The infamous Oxbridge interviews will not be as scary as they seem after our sessions. Using the self-belief and scientific analysis skills developed in our tutorial sessions, you will feel well-equipped to deal with an interview scenario. Initially, we will go through my bank of interview questions, discussing your approach and response to questions. As time goes on, we will start to practice mock interviews, 30-45 minutes of questions with feedback given afterwards.
- Admissions Test Prep: Many courses demand rigorous admissions tests, which require sound subject knowledge and lateral thinking. We will work on these together, helping you to become accustomed to the style of the questions.

I look forward to hearing from you!

I am a tutor for a variety of school subjects, particularly English, Mathematics, and Biology. I am currently studying International Development at King's College University. Before university, I achieved 3 As in Advanced Higher English, Biology, and Modern Studies, and 5 As in Higher English, Mathematics, Human Biology, Chemistry, and Modern Studies. Therefore, I am able to tutor in any of these subjects as well as Politics and Sociology as these are key topics in my current degree. I am also a swimming instructor so I am accustomed to working with children of all ages and abilities and I am extremely patient and able to adapt my teaching style and lessons to meet all children's personal needs. I am able to tutor in person or online.

I’m prepared to help my students excel at Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, or their UK medical school applications! I offer a wealth of knowledge and experience, backed by a strong academic background. My patient and supportive approach, coupled with effective communication skills, allows me to explain complex concepts in a clear and understandable manner. I am dedicated to tailoring my teaching methods to individual needs, ensuring that students grasp difficult topics and achieve their academic goals.

Hi! I`m a Biological Sciences student at the University of Edinburgh. I`m from England and am tutoring up to GCSE level sciences and Maths. I sat my A levels in Maths, Biology, Physics and Chemistry. I love teaching and helping students get the most out of themsleves and their studies, covering a wide wide range of problems, from learning content to practicing exam questions. I believe the most important part of learning is identifying and strengthening different weaknesses in the student's individual learning process, with the end goal of helping the student become self sufficient. If this sounds like a goal of yours, I will be able to help!

I provide tutoring lessons for anyone studying biology at National 5 or Higher level. I studied biology at both levels in high school and I am now studying a related degree at university.

I try my best to cater to every students' needs. Both weekly tutoring and on-off lessons are available. The one-off lessons can be arranged whenever a student feels they need help on specific topics.

*Tutoring can also be provided for those studying human biology.

Mathematics is a highly sought skill in any job or career. In my experience, the beginning of high school is when students decide if they love or hate maths; this is an important time to show them that it isn't that scary! Everything has a reason and, if you learn it right, can feel like cheating!

This class helps students learn how and why mathematics works the way it does, crushes their fear of complex equations or concepts, and instills a newfound confidence and appreciation. From learning how counting works to nailing your Higher maths exam, this class is tailored to the student!
Lessons are aimed at students in high school, however anyone outwith this who wants to learn about these topics is more than welcome!

I tutor Biology at National 5, Higher, and Advanced Higher level. I can provide help understanding course content, practicing exam questions, and more. If you are thinking about crashing a subject I can help provide a basic level of knowledge which it is extremely beneficial to have when directly entering a subject at a Higher or Advanced Higher level.
The sessions can be completely dictated by what the student feels they need from me or I can take a more structured approach after an initial consultation.
I am a friendly and passionate tutor with a comprehensive understanding of my subject.

I know GCSE is very scary, and feeling a little behind in class can feel like you are miles behind everyone else! I am here to help teach the foundations so the more complicated application of GCSE questions starts from a basis of clear understanding of the fundamentals!

I can start from any place: the beginning of your studies or help with the approaching months of exams!
