Qualified and experienced teacher Limited availability for Biology and Chemistry tuition 2024-25 academic year. More availability for Physics tuition with my husband.
As a tutor who is a professional secondary school science teacher, I use my classroom experience from OFSTED outstanding schools in Kingston/Surrey as well as one-to-one expertise, to provide students with fully up-to-date tuition to meet individual specific needs.
In 2020 I made my full-time job private tuition - I may sometimes work in schools however, what I really love is working with either small groups or individuals. You can find many positive reviews of my work and success stories from my students.
I am well-practised in a host of teaching strategies which I tailor in order to assist each student in meeting their own goals. I have a BSc Hons degree in Biology as well as a Post Graduate qualification in teaching and as such I teach Biology up to 'A' level and I teach Chemistry up to GCSE. My profession means that I am not only trained to teach but I also know the exam boards very well and can coach students on specific content, terminology and technique which is tailored to their course.
Additionally, having previously worked in a Primary School, I can also support younger students with the transition to secondary school and nurture a passion for the subject. Prior to teaching, my love of science and creativity enabled me to have a fulfilling career in the Pharmaceutical Industry where I specialised in Marketing and Creative Advertising. This experience is one of the things that I believe enables me to bring science to life for many young people.
I love my vocation and feel incredibly privileged to be able to support and help students to achieve their goals and their potential both in a group setting and in 1:1 tuition.
Please feel free to contact me with enquiries.

My husband, Evan, has qualities and experience that are proving to provide the right skill-set for teaching which is why he has begun tutoring alongside me so that we can assist in all 3 sciences. He is currently working with 3 students. He has a degree in Astrophysics and spent a number of years visiting schools in the UK to teach space-science. He is also an outstanding communicator and coach having spent many more years leading churches as a vicar. He is building his knowledge of all the syllabi and since I have this knowledge I am guiding him in this aspect as we begin to work together with students. To reflect this, Evan’s rates for tuition are lower than mine at the moment. If you are interested in Physics tuition please feel free to get in touch.
