Biology

NSAA

I aim to make tutoring sessions as useful and personalised as possible, taking into account my students’ needs. My teaching style is based on our current understanding of how learning actually takes place, so you can expect lots of interleaved retrieval practice with a focus on making the material stick! However, I also strongly believe in making learning fun, so I teach in a relaxed, conversational style using lots of hand-drawn diagrams and worked examples.

Science

There are two things you need to succeed in any exam, especially Science GCSEs and A Levels:

-Robust methods for memorising the specification content, such as active recall and spaced repetition
-A ton of practice in applying your knowledge in unfamiliar situations and contexts (past papers and as many exam questions as you can manage!)
In our tuition sessions I will help you with both of the above, using my experience and tried-and-tested teaching methods to boost your confidence and attainment - and hopefully have some fun along the way!

University applications

Having attended both the University of Cambridge and University of Oxford, I am fully aware of the myths surrounding the application process, especially the interviews! I am keen to dispel those myths and help you with writing an excellent personal statement and ace the interviews for Natural Sciences. I can also help you work through NSAA past papers and give you some general tips for approaching the questions.


I believe strongly that for tuition sessions to be effective, a good working relationship needs to be established. In our first session we will get to know each other, work out your strengths and weaknesses and discuss what you would like our sessions to focus on. I will then use the skills and knowledge I have developed through my 3 years of classroom teaching and 6 years of private tutoring experience to help you make progress.

I am flexible in my approach (no two students are the same, so no two tuition sessions should be the same!), but I always come back to techniques that are proven to be effective, such as spaced repetition, active recall and detailed work on exam questions. We will do lots of worked examples to help apply your knowledge and get you exam ready!

What you can expect:

-I teach on my iPad with an Apple Pencil - lots of diagrams, visuals, worked examples - and use other pieces of software to enhance your learning (e.g. Google Docs, collaborative whiteboards). No boring slideshows here!
-All session materials (notes, exam question packs etc.) will be made available to you in a shared Google Drive folder.
-A collaborative approach - I won't lecture at you, but work with you, getting you to start thinking more deeply about the subject and engage actively in your own learning.
-Flexible sessions, in length and in content.
-Exam technique and revision tips throughout.
-Hopefully some fun! (I am known for my cheesy jokes…)

I look forward to working with you - let's get you the grades you deserve! :)

My lessons consist of doing a starter based on a previous topic or background knowledge needed for the new topic. Then I teach the concept, do a couple of examples and I let pupils try exercises on their own, with scaffolding if needed. When preparing tutees for an exam I explain how to approach questions and structure their working to maximise their results.

I have been teaching Mathematics for over 5 years, and over that time period most of my students have passed their exams with at least grade C. I have also tutored online for the past 4 years, specializing in preparing students towards Edexcel and CIE IGCSE and A-level exams. I am also an examiner for Edexcel, giving me an insight on what students should do to maximize their exam grades.

My love for Mathematics and teaching has ever been growing and this is the reason I felt the need to not only teach high level mathematics but also get proper degree in Education.

I will firstly introduce the concept of the content by showing the importance and reasoning behind the topic.

This would be done by giving real world examples regarding the topic to allow them to understand its significance. I will then show them some example questions and demonstrate how to solve these questions. I will also use graphical methods to illustrate my points as this makes the concept easier to visualize.

After that, I will give them example questions to solve in class and ask them to show me their working. This is for me to grasp their understanding on the topic and to find out if any parts of the course is unclear. Besides, I will handpick exercise questions based on their weakness I identified in class and previous exercises completed.

I will also introduce past year questions so that students can manage their exam expectations and better gauge the difficultly level of exams. This would allow them to effectively strategize their exam preparation.

I have been providing tutoring for years. I am always patient in answering student's questions and tirelessly go the extra mile to ensure the student fully grasps the concept of the content. With my tutoring, we'll aim to successfully achieve a significant improvement in results we gain.

I am all too familiar with the stress and frustration that preparing for exams and entrance tests can bring. It can prove difficult for many bright, able students to fully communicate their ideas in these intense situations.

I believe that my experiences give me a unique and compassionate approach to helping students be not only academically but emotionally prepared for their studies, so that they can fulfil their full potential. Mathematics is a continual battle between the need for rigour and the need for intuitive understanding, and it's this balance that is often the hardest to strike. I aim to instil in students not only a confidence in use of notation and logical argument, but a confidence in their understanding of the underlying principles.

The MAT is a difficult test designed to encourage creative problem solving whilst using a minimum of prerequisite knowledge from school mathematics. My approach as both teacher and student has been to develop a large repository of useful examples and illustrative exercises, to familiarise the candidate with the more creative arguments necessary to tackle most MAT problems.

I try to focus on the ‘hook’ that students need in order to begin putting pen to paper and working through a problem, as it is this hurdle that I have found students struggle the most to overcome when compared to school, where it is apparent to most students what ‘type’ of question they are tackling even if the problem itself is difficult.

I have been operating as a private tutor for over 6 years. I have helped many students through all parts of the admissions process to Oxbridge including the MAT and interviews and other high profile universities.

I have tutored students all the way to PhD level. Most students I tutor are studying mathematics or physics, but I have taught mathematically focused modules in fields as varied as macroeconomics and mechanical engineering. In particular, I have extensive experience with students resitting exams rather than taking them for the first time, and with students applying for high-profile universities that require entrance tests and interviews.

Multiple students resitting their exams at university who have not only passed but have subsequently sought my services as a tutor for their studies moving forward. I have been proud to see their progress.

I am also employed by the University of Edinburgh and Heriot-Watt University to teach Mathematics undergraduates and masters students, marking their work and giving constructive feedback and instruction. Several students who have been taught by me in this capacity have then sought my help as a private tutor to supplement their university teaching.

In 2021, I graduated from Oxford with a degree in Chemistry. Additionally, I have accumulated several years of experience in tutoring in the subjects of Chemistry, Biology, and Mathematics.

GCSE Chemistry and Biology Tuition Approach

Chemistry and Biology require students to both understand and memorise a huge amount of content, which can seem overwhelming. I teach a 15-20 minute lesson (or revision lesson) on a topic at the start of a tutorial. Once students are comfortable that they’ve understood the material, I ask a student to work through topic-focussed past paper questions that I provide. I tend to use the final 10 minutes of a GCSE Chem or Bio tutorial as a rapid multiple-choice-question session on the area we have just covered; this helps the student practice recall of information and builds their confidence in the topic.

GCSE Maths Tuition Approach

For a student entering their final GCSE year, I typically ask students in our first session to complete a past paper in full, to the best of their ability. Although this can seem daunting, this provides a clear outline of a student’s mathematical strengths and weaknesses, and is the basis for my approach in planning the focus area of each tutorial going forwards. My GCSE Maths tutorials are generally one hour long, with 15-20 minutes of a concise lesson with worked examples, followed by students working through related questions, with help and guidance when a student is challenged by a question.

KS3 and 11+ Maths Tuition Approach

For younger Maths students, beginning with a session working through practice questions that a student is capable of answering, on an area of Maths in which they already feel confident, builds their confidence in their own abilities and their enthusiasm for tackling trickier topics.

A Level Chemistry Tuition Approach

A Level students might need the help of a tutor for a wide variety of reasons, from catching up on fundamental concepts to planning and executing a successful revision plan. An initial session would involve an in-depth discussion about how best to use their tutorial time and personal study time before their exam, and how tutorials can be structured to be as useful as possible for the student.

TSA Section 1 Tuition Approach

I ask students to sit a TSA past paper under timed conditions in their own time in order to establish a baseline level of attainment. General initial tutorials will focus on optimal exam technique with worked examples, and in-depth focus on the wording of critical thinking questions. Later tutorials will be based upon questions that students have answered incorrectly in the past papers provided, using practice questions written individually for each student to focus on their specific weaknesses.

GCSE Maths, Biology, Chemistry tuition: extensive experience tutoring students with a wide range of abilities. Experience in both remedial tutoring and tutoring with the goal of raising grades from 7-8 to 9.

KS3 Maths: experience in giving focussed catch-up classes to students who have fallen behind the curriculum.

Extended Essay

In my approach to tutoring English and aiding students in exam preparation, I employ a two-pronged strategy, with a focus on nurturing both their writing skills and their depth of understanding.


Firstly, my primary goal is to empower students to develop and articulate their own ideas effectively. To achieve this, I find it most valuable to work with the student's own written work. Together, we explore how to comprehend the essence of the question and structure their responses in a manner that aligns with the assessment criteria. This comprehensive approach takes into account various facets, including essay structure, writing techniques, and the skillful use of language to convey ideas persuasively.


Secondly, I place great emphasis on content support. In this aspect, I prefer to engage in a productive dialogue with the student. We discuss the literary texts in depth, examining different perspectives, approaches, and interpretations. Through this interactive exchange, the student not only gains a richer understanding of the material but also hones their analytical skills, enabling them to provide more insightful analyses of the works.


This dynamic and collaborative process fosters a deeper appreciation of literature and enhances the student's ability to engage critically with complex literary texts, ultimately equipping them with the tools needed for success in their exams.

Since September 2022, I've been tutoring, and since January 2018, I've been a part-time university lecturer at the University of the Witwatersrand. In my capacity as a lecturer, I've developed, taught, and assessed a wide range of literature courses, spanning from Beowulf to contemporary works.


I also gained experience as a tutor from January 2014 to December 2015, specializing in English education for students from preschool to grade 12.


I worked as a university writing consultant between July 2013 and December 2014, providing composition assistance to both undergraduate and postgraduate students across various disciplines. In my role as an undergraduate tutor from January 2010 to December 2011, I focused on academic writing, including composition, critical thinking, argumentation, editing, and presentation skills.
