Science tutor working from KS1 to A-Level taking on new students

[orm2018]

Hi everyone,

I've been a professional tutor for 7 years, having graduated from Oxford in 2018 with a Master's in Biochemistry, and I'm now studying medicine as a graduate. I tutor biology and chemistry up to A-Level, as well as some interview/personal statement help for biological degrees, and physics up to GCSE. I've taken tens of students through GCSE and A-level and consider myself an expert on the subjects I tutor. 

In terms of teaching style, I think teaching science requires a lot of questions to be asked, on the side of both the tutee and the tutor. I'm always asking questions to work out exactly what my students know about the topic we're working on, and really encourage students to ask me questions too! Being taught to just parrot the correct answers is an incredibly unsatisfying, inefficient and ultimately pointless way of learning, so I avoid that as much as possible and encourage my students to think about the theory behind what they're expected to learn, so that they can work out the answers in exams rather than relying on answers they crammed in a panic.

I'm an easy-going person - I don't think people learn well in stressful situations, and so I strive to create an environment that recognises there can be levity in learning. I'm also very patient, which means I'm willing to spend as long as needed on a single idea to ensure the student understands. I'm flexible with my knowledge, so I'm always comfortable spending time working on something from different angles if it helps the student.

I'm very happy stretching students who'd like more of a challenge as well as helping students bring their grades up to pass the exams!

I charge £55p/h, but my first lesson is free if you don't book a second one!  I'm also happy to provide references from students and parents I've worked with through the East Dulwich Forum in the past.
