Caroline F.

I have been lucky enough to work as a full time private tutor for several years now, having tutored close to 200 private tutees and countless others whilst previously working as a classroom teacher. During my 15+ years of teaching, no two days have ever been the same and no two students have ever been the same either, so over the years I have learnt many ways in which to get my point across, from sensible diagrams and flow charts to silly stories and memory games. The joy of science is that there is always something in it for everyone and it’s easy to find something to engage the most reluctant learner and then build on their knowledge from there.

Too many years of reading mark schemes has given me a detailed knowledge of both GCSE science and A level Biology specifications and their expectations for exams. As a result, my lessons are very keyword driven in order to improve the depth and clarity of written answers, allowing all students to revise effectively and reach their potential. As well as complementing school teaching and filling in gaps in knowledge, I am also happy to act as the sole teacher for science, having successfully taught iGCSE science specifications to home schooled tutees, providing varied and engaging lessons including the option of regular practical activities.
