Tutoring Approach

In A-Level Biology, I prioritise understanding the exam board specifications to align my teaching with what students need to know for success. Sessions begin with identifying areas of strength and improvement through discussions and initial assessments. I incorporate a mix of concept explanations, note-taking, and question practice, using past papers and real-world examples to solidify learning. Regular reviews ensure long-term retention, and I adapt my approach based on each student’s learning style. Biology is an exciting field, and I aim to inspire curiosity while equipping students with the tools they need to excel.
