My Summary
About Me
I am a full-time Science tutor and founder of First Class Science Tuition. I have a first class degree in Pharmacology from Kings College London and a PhD from the University of Oxford. My general curiosity in Biology and nature has always helped motivate me in my studies and I hope that through tutoring I can transfer my enthusiasm for science to my students.
Due to nature of my educational background I have an excellent understanding of the Science subjects and am adept in explaining complex concepts and ideas in a more understandable and manageable way.
I'm a friendly, patient and enthusiastic science tutor who has over 5 years of experience in tutoring, mentoring and teaching science to those from the ages of 11 to PhD level.
I provide a personalised tuition programme to all tutees and tuition session are undertaken in the tutee’s home. My tutoring style is very flexible and varies based upon the student's needs.
I can also provide Home Tuition to groups of 2 to 4 students in their homes.
My Experience
I provide home and ONLINE tuition. I have been teaching science at GCSE, iGCSE, A level and university level for 5 years and have worked with a variety of pupils with various abilities, learning styles, strengths and weaknesses.
My current and recent tutees include students attending prestigious private schools (Alleyn’s, Bedales, Bromley High, City of London Freemens, Dulwich College, Eltham College, Hurstpierpoint College, JAGS, Latymer`s, St. Paul`s Girls, Sherborne Boys, Sherborne Girls, Trinity and Whitgift) and grammar schools (St. Olaves, Wallington and Wilson).
My method of teaching greatly helps a student understand their subject and gives them the confidence needed to excel and succeed in their studies. The tuition sessions will be catered to the needs of the pupil, focusing on any weakness. I ensure that tuition sessions are as individual, fun and interesting as possible.
I have extensive experience in mentoring and tuttring KS3, GCSE, iGCSE, A level, BSc and Medical undergraduate students as well as PhD students from elite universities including Oxford University, Imperial College and UCL.
I also have extensive experience with university students of all academic levels and abilities as well as have a good working knowledge and experience of university marking and assessment systems.
I have taught many individuals intensively for their GCSE and A-levels in the run up to exams.
I have a proven track record of ensuring students excel to their full potential and all my students have achieved a 100% pass rate at GCSE, iGCSE, A-level, undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
I have a current and up to date (DBS/ CRB).
