P
I’m a passionate and experienced science and Maths teacher with over 15 years of teaching Maths and Science at KS3 and Science GCSE. I’ve worked as a Head of Science and currently lead as a practitioner and examiner, which gives me a detailed understanding of how to unlock student success across different exam boards. I care deeply about helping young people achieve their goals—whether that’s gaining confidence in class, securing a pass, or reaching for a top grade. My mission is simple: to make science enjoyable, accessible, and something every student can feel proud of mastering.
Whether you're aiming for a grade 9 or working hard to secure that all-important pass, my tutoring is tailored to meet you where you are and help you move forward. I’ve supported students from all backgrounds—many from grammar schools with high aspirations, and just as many who have struggled with motivation or confidence. I bring empathy, patience, and energy to every session. My experience in mainstream schools means I understand the unique needs of neurodivergent learners, and I create a safe, supportive space where everyone can thrive. I believe in every student’s potential, and nothing motivates me more than seeing learners grow, overcome challenges, and succeed.
My sessions are dynamic, engaging, and designed to make learning stick. Rooted in evidence-based strategies, I use tools like retrieval practice, live modelling, word etymology, and vocabulary breakdowns to build understanding in a memorable and meaningful way. Science is a subject full of wonder, and I aim to bring that to life—whether through real-world connections, interactive techniques, or simply helping students see complex ideas in a new, clearer light. My approach is personalised, flexible, and always focused on helping you feel confident, capable, and ready to succeed in your exams—and beyond.

I am a Science teacher based in Liverpool and have been teaching for 3 years. I teach GCSE Science (Biology, Chemistry and Physics) and have experience with both AQA Trilogy and Synergy specifications. I offer tutoring for GCSE Science and AS/A-Level Biology via online sessions. Sessions are tailored to the individual student's needs to meet their goals and build confidence in tackling the content.
Sessions are taught via Skype/Google Meet using a shared screen Powerpoint which is also provided to students at the end of each session. The focus of each session is knowledge recap, improving exam technique using a range of exam-style questions as well as addressing concerns about learning time that has been lost during the Covid-19 pandemic and ensuring students are prepared once they return to the classroom.
If you are interested please contact me, we would start with a free, introductory meeting with myself, the student and a parent/carer either by video or phone to discuss the sessions and answer any questions.

Science, biology, chemistry and psychology lessons in Wrexham, UK.
I have 20 years teaching experience in secondary education. Teaching all sciences at KS3 and Biology and Chemistry at GCSE level.
I have several years of highly successful teaching in Psychology at A level and I have been an examiner for several years with AQA .
Learning should have an element of fun and leave students with a sense of achievement at the end of the session.
My focus for exam preparation is working with students on deciphering questions so the skill of understanding what is required is highly developed. At A level emphasis is on structuring essay type answers in time limited conditions and developing research methodology including the use of statistics,an area students often have difficulty with.
As a Sixth Form tutor I also coached students and worked with them on UCAS applications.

I have Masters in Engineering and Degree in Chemistry. Furthermore, I have been a teacher for over 11 years. I have a variety of teaching methods to communicate with all students however diverse. When teaching each topic I incorporate a past exam paper question during each session, as this provides evidence of the required standard. I possess a current and in depth knowledge of all 3 exam boards: Edexcel, AQA and OCR. I continuously prepare students for 11+ entrance school exams including: Merchant Taylors, St’ Mary’s, Bluecoat and Liverpool College. I hold a strong rapport with adult students and enrich their knowledge. My thorough planning, enthusiasm and extensive experience will facilitate confidence and achieve results. I will openly provide both current and past references upon request.
