Personal Message: I am a highly-qualified Biologist with expertise in Spanish language. I specialise in quantitative biology e.g. experimental design and statistics, in addition to CV-writing/interview skills.
Which subject(s) do you teach?: I teach Biology and Statistics, Spanish, essay-writing, scientific writing, and examination techniques. I also advise on careers, CV-writing, and interview skills.
Tell me about your qualifications.: I have a PhD in Mammal Biology, an MSc. (with Distinction) in Conservation Biology, and a BSc. (Hons, 2.1) in Zoology. I also have a University Certificate in Advanced Spanish.
What kind of experience do you have?: I have tutored privately, and on contract at the University of Brighton, for the past 6 months. I currently have 4 private students, and 15 University students. I tutor the university students in statistical analysis for biology, and CV-writing/interview skills/job-hunting. I also lead Earthwatch research trips for teenagers and adults to South Africa and Ecuador, and have organised and run after-school clubs for 11-14 yr olds during my previous employment at the Hawk Conservancy Trust.
How much do you charge?: My fees vary from £20 per hour at Key Stage 3 up to £35 per hour at undergraduate and postgraduate level. Where students prefer to be tutored at their own homes I charge reasonable travel expenses (e.g. £2/£3), agreed upon with the student prior to the beginning of our sessions. I am happy to tutor small groups of up to 3 students at my home, in which case the hourly rate will be £10 per student for KS3 to A level, and £15 per student at university level. For online/phone tutoring I offer a 10% discount.
Where do you teach?: I teach at my home in Brighton and in surrounding areas to a distance of up to 5 miles (e.g. Saltdean, Rottingdean). I can also travel to the student's home.
When are you available?: I am available Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, between 9am and 6pm.
Which ages and levels do you teach?: Any level in Biology; KS2 and 3, GCSE and NVQ Spanish; University-level data analysis/statistics.
Which qualifications do you prepare your students for?: GCSE, NVQ, A level, BSc, MSc
Do you have an up-to-date CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) disclosure certificate?: Yes
Describe your arrangements for online tutoring.: I can tutor online via Skype or email. However, I think it works better if we have at least one session in person before starting online sessions.
Where and with whom did you train?: The University of Sussex - PhD (Mammal Biology), The University of Reading - MSc (Conservation Biology) The University of Manchester - BSc (Zoology) and The University of Brighton - University Certificate (Advanced Spanish)
Do you have a personal message for students?: Don't label yourself, or allow others to label you, as inherently good or bad at any skill or subject. People learn in different ways and at different speeds. We will find a way of engaging with a subject that works for you.
