Teresa B.

Fully qualified biology teacher since 2007 teaching biology and building confidence in nervous and anxious students. Willing to tailor tutoring to individual needs, develop exam technique as well as biology knowledge. Ofsted graded outstanding, I`ve worked as an IT and teaching and learning mentor to other teachers.

Prior to working in Education I worked in the NHS which has been immeasurably useful as a biology teacher as it`s provided me with plenty of real life examples of abstract concepts as well as the ability to advise students interested in going on to study medicine and medical related fields.

When not teaching we can be found walking the dog, reading nerdy books and playing a totally brutal game of scrabble.

Lots of online teaching experience using a variety of resources best suited to the student. Experienced in zoom, skype, teams, google hangouts and proprietary software such as adobe connect.

Online lessons are delivered via an interactive and collaborative whiteboard software allowing the students to interact, do virtual real time quizzes, annotate exam questions and build process knowledge in the way that best works for the student.

Additional resources such as graphic organisers, key diagrams and past papers are made available in personalised google folders. Lessons are supported by additional material such as interactive flashcards, quizzes and revision games.

All resources are very visual and designed to support questioning and expansion of topics, this provides a lot more flexibility and engagement than passive reading through power point presentations.
