I have 1000s of hours in helping students achieve success in A-Level biology as a tutor and biology teacher for over 18 years. A-levels are high stake exams with future university places and careers dependent on good grades. If your child is struggling with:
•Understanding biological concepts
•Understanding exam questions
•How to write answers that gain full marks
•Exam technique
•Applying their understanding and knowledge
Then as an experienced A-Level biology teacher, I can help your child improve in these areas.
I am able to tutor all UK exam boards, have decades worth of past papers and tailored notes specific to each exam board.
I can tutor online where I use zoom and a digital whiteboard to teach students. I provide a video recording of the lesson and digital exam papers and notes that students can access via the student portal. Students find the videos particularly useful for revision and reviewing their understanding at a later date.
If online tutoring is not the option for you, then I can offer in-person tuition in either my home or at your home within the Bridgend County Borough, South Wales.
My Approach To Teaching A-Level Biology
I use lots of different teaching strategies. The strategies used are specific to each students learning needs. One of the most important strategies I use is to explain complicated biological concepts simply and clearly. Here are some more specific strategies that I use.
1. Socratic Questioning
Written or verbal questions cannot be overstated. They are a powerful way to find out if a student understands the concepts. questioning also gives the opportunity to allow the students to think about the concepts, recall facts and make links between concepts. Simple questions that start with: how, why and what are very effective.
2. Feedback
Without feedback, students will never make progress. Feedback has the highest impact factor of 8 in helping students learn. I give detailed feedback on students work so they can improve.
3. Exam Technique
Without being taught how to answer a question, most students will not achieve good grades in their exams. This is a skill that I take very seriously in preparing my students for. I teach Comprehension skills, Word analysis, the meaning of assessment objectives and how they relate to the difficulty of the questions, the meaning of different command words so students can understand what a question is asking them to do. I have decades worth of past exam papers and I make these available to all my students. I work through many past questions to make sure students have excellent exam techniques.
4. Making Links
The highest grades will only be achieved if students can apply their understanding to different situations. Through questioning and tailored activities, I prepare students to master this vital skill.
5. Retrieval Practise
We learn by making links to knowledge we already have. Retrieval practice forces students to actively recall information from their memory. When this is done the memory is strengthened and information is forgotten less. This is a very important thing for students to do. I produce tailed activities and puzzles to help students with this strategy.
6. Maths & Prac
Maths make up 10% of the marks in a question paper and 15% of the marks are practical based questions. It is so important that students have good abilities in these areas. I always ensure students can achieve in these areas.

I currently teach part time at a secondary school in West Norfolk to ensure I keep my mathematcis skills up to date and understand the latest exam requirements and teaching methods. Along side of this I tutor pupils both at their home address and also using online sessions as required.
As well as experience with all UK exam boards for maths I also have experience with the IGCSE Maths exam. Recently I have began to teach statistics at GCSE and now also offer tutoring in Statistics.
Pupils use my tutoring lessons to ensure they fully understand what they have been taught in school, to help improve their exam grades and to assist with home schooling lessons. I tailor my tutoring for each pupil and discuss their needs and requirements with them not only during the first tutoring lesson but on an ongoing basis.
i have expreience tutoring pupils who excel at maths and pupils who struggle with their maths. I also have experience with SEND pupils including Autusim, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia and ADHD.
I prefer to travel no more then 20 miles from my home address but am happy to provide online tutoring if that is easier.

Hello there,
Raising the academic attainment of students has been a deep passion and successful achievement - as a founding former headteacher of a school for 4- 16-year-olds (ten years), a teacher, and a tutor. I have recent English teaching experience at a school (and remotely), in addition to marking GCSE English Language and literature papers. Therefore I am at ease in teaching both key stages three and four students. Over a ten-year period, 98% of my tutees have gained entry into the elite Grammar Schools (a few students gaining scholarships each year too). During the last two years, 97% of my English Language tutees have achieved levels 7-9 in GCSE English Language and 96% in GCSE English Literature.
I am well resourced in teaching face to face or online. An initial consultation with parents, the tutee, in addition to a view of the school reports enables me to gather necessary information about each student. Importantly, the tutorials enable me to get first-hand knowledge of each student enabling me to plan my lessons for the individual.
I look forward to working with you to raise the attainment of your child.

I am an experienced teacher of history with over ten years of experience teaching in a range of secondary schools across the UK including grammar, independent and state schools. I am experienced in teaching pupils from Year 7 to year 13, and have prepared hundreds of students for examinations and coursework at GCSE level, A level and International Baccalaureate. I have a strong track record of securing excellent outcomes for my pupils, many of which have gone on to study history and related subjects at a range of elite universities including Oxbridge and Ivy League colleges. I have worked with most UK examination boards and complete regular training, including a teaching leadership course with the Ambition Insitute, to ensure my knowledge of both pedagogy and current examination criteria is up to date.
My experience has given me knowledge of a wide range of pupils' learning requirements and I am able to adapt my teaching to suit the particular requirements of each pupil, whether it be essay technique, tuition on a particular period of history, Oxbridge admissions coaching or effective techniques to revise effectively for examinations. I can tutor face to face or online, depending on your requirements.

I am a fully qualified (DBS checked) English teacher (I semi retired in September 2019).
I've taught English at secondary level for over 35 years. I am fully up to date with exam assessment critieria and, having worked as an AQA exam marker, I know exactly what the exam board looks for.
Over the past few years I've also worked as a private tutor with students from Years 5 to 9, successfully helping them to consolidate any aspects of English needed (including Verbal Reasoning for the 11+ exam). I have also had success as a tutor with a number of students at GCSE (AQA exam board English Language and English Literature) and A Level (AQA English Literature).
I tailor tuition to the individual student's needs and by working with them one to one I am able to help them realise their potential.

I am a qualified Maths Teacher and an online Tutor. I use a variety of techniques and resources in order to teach and inspire minds. I am fully DBS cleared and have taught through the changes in education over the years and am fully knowledgeable in the current 9-1 GCSE specification. I am comfortable teaching all walks of learners and try my 100% best to make sure that learning is relevant, engaging and fun.
I have a plethora of resources so that students hit their target grade or beyond. In my experience, students tend look at questions as a big problem rather than thinking that questions are made up of smaller steps within a problem. Each student will receive an individual plan at the start of lesson one.
I am also a GCSE Expert Examiner for Edexcel, marking both Foundation and Higher Maths. I also teach at Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 2.
I am able to teach online and comfortably at your home, however, due to the current situation with COVID, I prefer to teach online. I use a Huoin pen and tablet with an onscreen whiteboard. I will provide full resources; questions, answers, solutions and exam papers relevant to your exam specification. I teach all topics in Maths and keep up to date with any new developments with exam boards.
I have been a Middle Leader, a Lead Practitioner, a Director of Learning, and have led successful STEM classes and am passionate about the subjects surrounding Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths. I also run a debate team at my current school; have been a finalist at The University of Leeds three consecutive years with “Solutions for the Planet” programme and have taken students as finalists at The Houses of Parliament with a solution on sustainability.

I’ve been learning languages since I was a child and taught them for many years, most recently German and English. I have an Honours Modern Languages Degree from Trinity College Dublin and spent my year abroad in West Berlin. I'm proud to say I have achieved a near-native speaker level competency in German.Over the years, I've developed my own way of doing things and I've found by experience that the best way to learn a language is by consuming interesting and useful material, such as video clips, audio recordings with transcripts, dialogues, articles and other material. That's what I use to help my students both during tuition and in self-study.To learn, you need to actively engage with the material, not passively watch it, skim over it or try to listen to it in your sleep!You need to work intensively with the text or transcript and do follow-up exercises. You need to hear it as well as read it. Too many course books neglect audio and rely too much on the written word.As well as a tutor and content creator I am also a content curator. I select media from YouTube and the German-speaking media and carefully produce transcripts, exercises, side-by-side translations, vocab lists and grammar explanations, all saved electronically in my Mediathek or media library. I have built up several course books' worth of material. For beginners and new learners, I can provide samples of course books that you can purchase online and can recommend online language learning services that you can use as part of your German language programme.By the way, I consider the concept of ‘homework’ to be outmoded. Instead, you need to do lots of self-study as well as group or 121 lessons.I provide audio, video and written materials to students in advance of the lesson rather than during the lesson. Students can study them and prepare them at their own pace.Then in the lesson, we can concentrate on practice, consolidation and having a fun time reading aloud, acting out dialogues and roleplay as well as looking at interesting grammar points. I provide follow-up materials, including lesson notes, translation and writing assignments, recommendations for further study.I often talk about good language learning methods as well as some questions about the underlying principles of language learningFun, flexibility, fluency. That’s what I aim for in my courses and tuition. Language learning should be fun. It should be an interesting, stress-free, enjoyable activity, not a chore!I’m flexible, that means I always try to accommodate the interests and ability of my students. If there are occasional last-minute changes of plan, that's not a problem. Payment is flexible too.Fluency is a key goal, but accuracy is important too. You can be fluent in a language, but make lots of errors. You can have a high level of accuracy, but lack fluency. We should aim for a good balance between the two.I have developed a different approach to grammar. It's better to learn grammar within the context of the material that you’re working with. Every word, phrase and sentence of the foreign language provides you with examples to learn fromI encourage my students to be like Sherlock Holmes, to actively look out for patterns and clues that will help them to learn.In mid-2021 I started to do short themed courses on specific topics. The first one was for intermediate level students on the subject of the police in Germany, using video clips and roleplay and articles.Further course topics include 'Simplifying the German cases', 'Living in and escaping from the GDR' and 'Differences between Germany and Austria'. My courses and tuition are open to anyone, anywhere via Zoom. I offer all my courses via Zoom and despite its occasional technical shortcomings, it works extremely well. I can teach students anywhere and in the Age of Covid, it’s 100% safe.For all sessions, I write notes as we go along and display the file on screen. That serves as my whiteboard and as a diary of everything we’ve covered.Where necessary I can record audionotes, a mini-podcast of around 5 minutes summing up the main points of the lesson, including pronunciation of difficult words.I'm tech-savvy and make full use of present-day technology. My journalistic experience is useful for language learning. I also have experience with filmmaking and drama. In group sessions, we often adopt a theatrical approach with dialogues, as if they were the script of a play or movie. That makes it more fun and more challenging.You don’t have to have great acting ability, although speaking a foreign language is actually a little like acting.
By the way, air travel is a favourite theme of mine. You'll see it in my profile photos and videos. I used to work at an airport. It's a theme that's very relevant to language learning.So why not join one of my group courses or become one of my one-to-one students?And you can try one of my themed short courses as a taster.Just get in contact, I can usually reply straight away or within a few hours.Vielen Dank, many thanks!

With post-graduate qualifications in English language teaching and extensive experience (15 years) in a range of contexts with learners of all ages, backgrounds and professions, I am passionate about helping people achieve their language goals. I have lived abroad and speak a number of languages which helps me to understand the needs of language learners.
I am skilled in teaching general English, business & professional English, academic English, English for specific purposes (e.g. hospitality) and exam preparation (e.g. IELTS, CAE, FCE, BEC). I currently have students from Brazil, China, South Korea, Spain, Italy, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway, The Netherlands, Ukraine, Syria, Iran, and Afghanistan.
I have extremely high expectations of myself as a teacher and expect my students to be motivated and to work hard. I try to make my lessons individualised, informative and inspiring and I find this helps to drive students towards their goals.
In addition to teaching, I do a lot of proof-reading and editing work for students at university.

I am a pianist and composer and currently a PhD music student at the University of Manchester specialising in notated composition. I was awarded a Master's with distinction from Newcastle University in 2019 where my main focus was on composition but undertaking a music analysis project as well. I am an experienced private tutor and my compositions have been workshopped by ensembles like Psappha and Opera North. My latest project with Distractfold can be found on the additional link in my profile. I have also presented my research and compositions in international music conferences like the Penn State 2021 New Music Festival and Symposium. I have experience teaching children and adults, preparing them for Trinity College London and ABRSM graded exams in piano performance. I have also tutored students for GCSE and A-levels submissions in music. My postgraduate studies in composition and music analysis provide unique insight into each piece to help every student tackle the theoretical and structural challenges, inform their interpretation and develop their musicality along with their technique. I strongly believe in fostering creativity and encourage composition and improvisation as an integral part of the learning process as well as exposure to a wide range of music as a listener to help students find their inclinations.

I consider myself to be amiable, patient and empathetic, and my teaching approach is based on a systematic building of grammar and vocabulary which has proved to be popular and welcomed by the majority of my students.
As a native English speaker with a PGCE qualification, I also teach English as a Foreign Language, having led several one-to-one courses at Jaguar Land Rover pre-lockdown.
In recent years I have also led English courses at a number of companies in the Midlands, including The White Company and White Stuff, teaching larger groups of predominantly East European employees.
The pandemic has brought about a transition to online teaching which has proved most successful. I have, however, recently re-started teaching face-to-face at a German client company which is a most welcome development.

We have a dedicated covid secure classroom. We have an extremely comprehensive equipment store to cover all the experiments for GCSE and A level Science (Biology, Chemistry and Physics). This enables the students to take part in experiments which enhances their learning.
Since the lockdown, our response was to transition, virtually overnight, our teaching online. The tutor’s hands became the student’s hands and the cameras their eyes, the microphone and speakers became their voice and ears. With the power of a broadcast switcher, the student did not have one view but many, depending on what was needed. In addition, we decided to live stream tutorials on YouTube going through GCSE and A level Maths, Physics, Chemistry and Biology, topic by topic, week by week utilising all our equipment for experiments. This was to develop a resource for all not just our own students.

Methods
I studied under leading, and in some cases the authoritative, scholars in their subject fields, ranging from early Republican Rome and the Soviet Union in the Cold War, to Human Rights and International Political Theory. An interdisciplinary academic by nature, my teaching methods are governed by the same rules I maintained as a student; to interchange between rationalised logic and an empathetic understanding of others. This is a core part of my pedagogy which, as I stated in my description, will allow students to take account of their own intellect.
By customising subject dialogue and posing investigative questions tailored to each individual, students will begin to tap into their inner precociousness and start a journey of higher understanding, no matter what age or ability. Putting it simply, no child is the same and I will adapt to the needs of every student to get the best out of our sessions.
If you wish to find out more, I am happy to send information and material that I have created which have been successful. Moreover, I am happy to arrange a one-to-one with any parent or student wishing to discuss and ask questions about my methods and learning strategies, free of charge, on Skype. This will also allow me time to speak to students, acclimatise to their skills and interests and lay out an effective scheme of learning going forward.
I have researched revolutionary teaching methodologies, been published in educational journals and have won prizes in the Department for Education at the University of Cambridge.
(Journal of Classics Teaching Vol 45 2022; Roman Society PGCE Award for best dissertation 2020-21).
I have limited availability as I have recently began a PhD in Ancient History at Durham University. Students will therefore be selected on the following merits:
- Motivation (Completing all assigned work provided by me before each lesson).
- Intellectual Curiosity (Demonstrating a desire to undertake wider reading around the respective topics).
- Growth Mindset (Commitment to working on past work/ feedback and illustrating a desire to improve).
Experience
I have completed training placements in an Independent International School and a State-Maintained Comprehensive:
St Margaret's, Bushey
- Delivered a multitude of singular and sequential lessons to a GCSE class on subjects like the Roman Army and Ancient Imperialism, using my specialism in these areas to raise Intercultural Communication Competence.
- Delivered A-Level Latin classes, guiding students through un-adapted Tacitean prose and asking abstract questioning to spark interesting intellectual and historiographical debate vital in Ancient History.
- Fulfilled a variety of professional responsibilities, including management of a form group, delivering History, P.E. and P.S.H.E. lessons, and participated in various EAL, Classics and History societies.
- Developed my syncronous teaching skills by tailoring training targets around Google Classroom.
- Feedback from mentor: ‘In a sequence of lessons on the Roman Army with Year 10, Pietro challenged the pupils to think beyond the material in front of them and draw wider conclusions about the historical importance of the army, which pupils plainly found inspiring and interesting’.
Marylebone Boys' School, Paddington:
- Delivered up to 13 hours per week spread over classical and non-classical subjects.
- Attended all subject department meetings, additional NQT training and actively participate in the ‘Diversity and Inclusion’ CPD strategy clinics (including circulating school-wide registration notices).

- Delivering Latin to GCSE level and Classical Civilisation (Homeric Epic and Greek Art) to a Year 12 A Level class.
- Assisting in creating resources, SOWs and department-wide curricula for an expanding Classics department.
- Feedback from mentor: ‘Pietro has a natural ability to confidently and positively relate to the students. In the classroom, this translates to him having a commanding manner which, in turn, can pique students’ interests in the subject’.
Voluntary Work
During my time teaching at the John Henry Newman Catholic School, Stevenage, I assisted History and Government & Politics A-Level classes whilst providing one-to-one mentoring to students with learning disabilities. Following a successful period, I was asked to stay on and prepare the year 13 students for their final exams whilst planning and delivering lessons for Year 12 students and the lower years.
Moreover, I was influential in mentoring Year 12 students in the university application process. I provided help and advice in degree selection, personal statements and supervised extra-curricular activities that made candidates stand out (see images). Many of the students I worked closely with are attending Oxbridge or higher ranked Russell Group universities in the autumn.
In the summer term I was given the responsibility of holding my own undergraduate-style course for the lower-sixth on the topic of the 1930s Holodomor. Following extensive library research and correspondence with previous professors, I began weekly lectures and seminars. The aim was so that these students could write a final 2000-word essay, to be submitted for the annual history competition held by the Association of Ukrainians in Great Britain. I formulated and created a course booklet similar to those found at undergraduate level and guided three students who eventually submitted their essays to a top 10 place, 4th place and 1st place position (£1000 cash prize).
Past Students
Here are some reviews from current Year 13 students that were eager to write recommendations detailing my time at the John Henry Newman Catholic School:
"Pietro worked enthusiastically and diligently with myself and others during History essay competitions and classroom curriculum learning. His encouraging and constructive feedback was extremely prompt, clear, detailed and well communicated. Advice was always offered in a uniquely passionate and patient way which made the learning all the more engaging. He was consistently approachable and conscientious, making a wonderful and highly recommendable tutor for a group or an individual". - Rachel W
"Pietro was extremely helpful in a classroom environment, providing a deeper insight and contrasting views on the chosen subject matter; encouraging us to explore the multiple angles an essay question can be tackled from. He went above and beyond, providing us with extra material such as journals, books and sources to enrich and strengthen our arguments. In regards to working with smaller study groups, Pietro demonstrated clear and in-depth knowledge and was always there to answer our questions and queries. I found learning about the Holodomor Famine fascinating as it was a subject not touched upon in my A Level History course, so it was interesting to see how it had linked to my previous knowledge. From Pietro, I have learned many skills that I will be able to transfer to any subject, from working to a deadline to finding my own material to share in seminar situations". - Izzy H
"Pietro created a fantastic working environment. In class, he was engaging and clearly passionate about the subject. He delivered each lesson in a way that was easily understandable but still got across the complexity of the issues presented. Outside of the class, he was friendly and approachable and created accessible resources to aid in teaching the classwork". - Brad B
"Pietro C. is a knowledgeable and approachable tutor who is always willing to take the time to explain things in as much depth as needed. Under his tuition, I learned the material, and was able to apply it to other situations, in a fun and relaxed environment. Pietro’s teaching, in the end, played a large role in my work being shortlisted in an essay writing competition on a subject I had previously no knowledge on". - Alex P
