About Me

Hello! I’m a fully qualified science teacher with five years of experience, currently working at a leading all-girls boarding school. I hold a PGCE in Secondary Science and an MA in Education, and I’ve taught a wide range of students from Key Stage 3 to A-level. I specialise in GCSE Biology and Chemistry (AQA and Edexcel), with a particular focus on developing strong exam skills and building confidence. My lessons are calm, supportive, and tailored to each student’s needs. I’m passionate about helping young people achieve their goals and enjoy learning along the way.

Education

MA in Education – Completed recently, with a focus on teaching and learning strategies

PGCE in Secondary Science – Qualified to teach Science at Key Stages 3–5

BSc (2.1) in Animal Behaviour

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.

I have experience with both AQA and Edexcel syllabi and regularly use common textbooks such as CGP GCSE Biology and Oxford’s AQA GCSE Biology series. My sessions are structured around building subject knowledge, mastering exam technique, and breaking down tricky topics into simple, memorable steps.
A-Level Biology can be content-heavy and challenging—but with the right exam skills, you can turn your knowledge into top marks. This class focuses on building the techniques and confidence needed to tackle AQA or OCR A Biology exams successfully. In these sessions, we will: Break down exam questions and command words Learn how to write clear, concise, and structured answers Tackle data analysis and practical-based questions Understand what examiners are looking for in longer responses Review tricky topics and apply them to past paper questions Develop effective revision strategies and time management skills Whether you're aiming for a grade boost, preparing for mocks, or working towards top university offers, this class will be tailored to your specific needs and exam board.
With five years of teaching experience and a PGCE in Secondary Science, I specialise in helping students develop the skills they need to succeed in GCSE Biology. I have taught both AQA and Edexcel specifications, and I'm confident in supporting students across a wide range of ability levels. My approach focuses on strengthening exam technique—breaking down command words, tackling tricky application questions, and building confidence in extended response answers. I use past paper practice, targeted feedback, and proven revision strategies to help students understand what examiners are looking for and how to maximise their marks. Whether your goal is to secure a strong pass or push towards top grades, I tailor each session to your learning style and specific needs, helping you feel prepared, focused, and in control on exam day.

Teaching chemistry to school and university students in a simplified manner
Hello students! Do you find it difficult to learn science subjects, especially chemistry? This may be because chemistry contains some difficult or complex concepts or terms. If you are one of these, do not worry!! Hello and welcome to you, my students, in the right place to solve this problem through simplifying science lessons, especially chemistry. Through these lessons, we will learn together how to deal with difficult-to-understand matters and terms, because I have extensive experience extending to more than 15 years in conveying complex concepts in a clear, easy and simple way. My goal is to make science and chemistry in general and organic chemistry in particular wonderful and understandable for everyone. As a dedicated teacher, I create an interactive and stimulating learning environment for my students using the latest methods. I am ready to share my passion and guide each student towards excellence and success in the field of science and organic chemistry and in studies in general, as I work as a student advisor in an international institution. In addition, I have excellent communication and presentation skills and am patient and calm when teaching. In addition, I constantly follow up on my students' progress and regularly evaluate their understanding through continuous solution of objective questions, as I care more about understanding than memorization. On the other hand, I also maintain good follow-up with parents. My teaching approach is directed towards achieving the highest results, with a focus on helping students understand and master information. For university students or master's and doctoral students, I teach the course of natural product chemistry or phytochemistry. In this course, we will learn about the methods of extracting, separating and identifying the chemical form of active chemical compounds (biologically active secondary compounds) from natural sources, such as medicinal and aromatic plants. We will also discuss what is known as chromatography, spectroscopy devices, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and magnetic resonance analysis. In addition to knowing some important applications of these active materials in various fields, such as the pharmaceutical industry, agriculture, etc. We will also learn the practical methods that are carried out in the laboratory to conduct toxicity, antioxidant and diabetes analyses, etc. Finally, "for those interested in scientific research" there is a course dedicated to knowing what scientific research is, how to choose a research point, how to write scientific research and how to find the appropriate journal for publication and everything related to this topic. Experience: About 20 years of practical experience in the field of chemistry, medicinal and aromatic plants and pharmacy with parallel training and private lessons for chemistry curricula. With my qualifications and experiences, as I hold a master's degree and a doctorate in organic chemistry (chemistry of natural products), in addition to other postgraduate certificates and a doctoral scholarship in pharmaceutical sciences in Belgium from the Erasmus Mundus organization affiliated with the European Union.

Sciences Tutoring, Homework and Exam Support (ages 8-16)
Sciences are some of the most challenging subjects in primary and middle school, and some of the most exciting nonetheless; I will help your child see the beauty and simplicity in the heart of physics, chemistry or biology, and thus excel at them. My approach is flexible. I can do any of: re-explain difficult material to the student; help with homework; supervise and guide them in preparation for exams and tests. All my teaching, however, is always accompanied by quizzes and questions to ensure understanding and gauge progress. I'm a high-school student specialising in these subjects, consistently scoring best-in-school scores for them for the past 5 years. Although my main area of interest in mathematics - I am a member of the Cyprus National Mathematics Team - my mathematical and educational passion swiftly translates into science tutoring talent. I already possess experience in teaching sciences, teaching a student in 9th grade biology.
