Tutoring Experience

I am a qualified Biology educator with a deep-rooted career across UK schools, sixth forms, and international settings. Since 1995, I’ve taught GCSE and A-Level Biology, as well as IB MYP and DP Biology, with a strong emphasis on exam performance and curriculum mastery. I’ve also supported students with learning differences, tailoring lessons for dyslexia, ADHD, and similar needs. As an examiner for IB (Paper 2), A-Level, and GCSE, I provide unparalleled guidance in mastering assessment objectives, structured responses, and internal assessments (IAs and EEs).

Tutoring Approach

My approach is shaped by decades of classroom teaching and examiner roles. I help students understand how assessments work from the inside out—how to decode command terms, structure answers, and meet mark scheme criteria. Each lesson is adapted to the student’s pace and goals, balancing scientific thinking with targeted exam preparation. I support IA and EE work with clear frameworks, and ensure progress through regular feedback and strategic revision planning.
