Oliver has a passionate and highly engaging approach to tutoring. He has been teaching for 29 years and has worked in a range of educational establishments including an independent school, comprehensive schools, a selective grammar school, a middle school (Y5 to Y8) and one of the largest sixth form colleges in the country. He has also been an assistant examiner for both the Edexcel and OCR exam boards, marking hundreds of A level Biology papers in each of the years he has undertaken this additional role whilst teaching. His vast teaching and marking experience have given him the opportunity to prepare a large number of learners for their G. C. S. E Science and A level Biology examinations and he has consistently guided the vast majority of them to be extremely successful. With respect to his academic background, he attained A levels in Biology and Chemistry and AS levels in Maths and English Literature then studied ‘Applied Animal Biology’ at the University College of North Wales in Bangor and was awarded a BSc honours degree in 1993. The following year, he gained a P. G. C. E. in ‘Secondary science’ from the University of Newcastle. In many of the schools he has worked in, he has not only taught extensively but has also taken on management roles in order to have an even greater influence on learners’ success. These roles have included ‘Head of Biology’ in a comprehensive school and a grammar school, ‘Head of Science’ in a grammar school and a middle School, ‘Head of Y5’ and ‘Head of Y8’ in a middle school and ‘Programme area manager for Life Sciences’ in a sixth form college. These positions have allowed him to strongly influence the delivery of the curricula within each of the schools and the college he has worked in and to develop very strong working relationships with both learners and their parents. His interests include amateur dramatics, running and badminton. |
