Hello! I am an experienced Head of Department and Online Tutor based in the UK, specializing in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics at GCSE, and Biology and Physics at A-level. I have a wealth of teaching and exam resources, as well as a solid track record of improving student results. I also tutor General Science and Mathematics at KS3.

After completing A-levels in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics (all grade A), I began my B.Sc in Biology at Queen’s University of Belfast, graduating with First Class Honors. Prior to teaching, I worked in food disease research and then the food retail sector, focusing on product quality and safety, as well as procurement.

After several years, I changed careers and pursued teaching, completing my PGCE in Physics at King’s College London. In my first teaching post, at a large mixed secondary school outside London, I was immediately given responsibility to develop new schemes of work for Physics at both GCSE and A-level, based on the new exam syllabi. Despite my lack of teaching experience at the time, my passion for Physics, inspiring student learning, use of real-life application, and focus on exam technique showed that I was the right person for the job.

My dedication to raising the profile and attainment of Physics, not only in my own lessons but in the wider department, resulted in my official promotion to Head of Physics. In this capacity, I continued to drive progress throughout the department by sharing best practices with non-specialist teachers and the department as a whole.

In addition to improving academic progress each year, I developed the school’s STEM opportunities by organizing extracurricular Crest awards and arranging a residential trip to CERN in Geneva, where students had the chance to see one of the particle accelerators up close.

My success in inspiring students and colleagues alike, as well as my continued improvement in student academic progress, led to my promotion to Head of Science the following year. I am also an examiner for a UK exam board. Read less

My exact style of teaching varies from student to student and depends on their style of learning, content requirements, and whether they are working towards a specific exam. I use a combination of Zoom, Skype, etc., and an interactive whiteboard to work face-to-face and collaboratively with my students. This allows me to demonstrate how to solve problems and see student progress as they solve problems themselves. Please get in touch if you would like a demo lesson! Read less
