Science should feel understandable, not overwhelming. I have seven years’ experience teaching GCSE Biology, Chemistry and Physics across all major exam boards, including both Combined and Triple Science. I have supported students at a range of levels, from those rebuilding their foundations and confidence to those aiming for grades 8 and 9. I hold a First-Class degree in Biomedical Science and currently study Medicine at Norwich Medical School, where I am on track for a Distinction.

My lessons are interactive, focused and shaped around each student. I encourage learners to ask questions, explain their reasoning and apply their knowledge, rather than simply memorising facts. I have also completed specialist SEND tutoring training, which helps me adapt my explanations, lesson pace and resources to different learning needs. My aim is for every student to leave lessons feeling more confident, capable and positive about science.

I believe students learn best by doing, so my lessons are active rather than lecture-based. I use questions, diagrams, worked examples and short activities to break difficult topics into manageable steps. Students are encouraged to explain ideas back to me, predict answers and talk through their reasoning, helping me check genuine understanding and address misconceptions quickly. I create a relaxed atmosphere where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes.

Every lesson is adapted to the student’s confidence, goals and learning needs. Once the core knowledge is secure, we apply it to carefully selected exam questions, focusing on command words, mark-scheme language and how to structure high-quality answers. I also use retrieval practice and regular topic reviews to strengthen long-term memory. My aim is not only to improve grades, but to help students become more confident, motivated and independent learners.
