What I teach

All three sciences to GCSE. A-Level Biology & Chemistry. L3 Physiology. UKAT prep and university entrance advice.

Biology

Cells, genetics, physiology and ecology — built around the exam board specification.

Chemistry

Bonding, moles, organic mechanisms and practical write-ups made methodical.

Physics

Mechanics, electricity, waves and the maths behind them, step by step.

Why students improve

Most students don't need more content, most need complex ideas and theories explained in a different way. Students often struggle to apply their knowledge and to access exam questions. My lessons are planned to incorporate quick fire knowledge retrieval, building exam pace and technique and using exam board mark schemes to make sure students have the confidence to pick up marks that could be easily lost.

  • Every lesson is planned around the exact specification for each course.
  • Concepts first, then method: students learn why an answer works, not just what to write, by applying their knowledge.
  • Guidance on revision — how to revise, finding what ways work best. Working smart not hard.
  • Regular progress updates for parents, with honest guidance on grades.
  • Priority booking for lessons in the school holidays for Year 11 and Year 13.
