Interview

Which subject(s) do you teach?
I teach KS3 Science, GCSE Science and the separate GCSE Science. This includes Biology, Chemistry and Physics. I also teach AS and A2 Biology and Chemistry. I use the latest examination questions and mark schemes to support learning. I have professional software that is specific to each board and this splits off individual topics in terms of examination questions and mark schemes. I also offer 11+ and 13+ tuition.

Tell me about your qualifications.
I have a HNC in Science, Diploma in Chemistry, Honours degree in Natural Science with Chemistry. I have a PGCE in Secondary Science. I currently hold full Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)

What kind of experience do you have?
I have worked as a full time school teacher in several schools. I am an examiner for one of the major examination boards and have over ten years experience of tutoring. I have a proven tack record for excellent results. I have managed to turn U grades into A grades before.

How much do you charge?
I charge between £25 per hour. Please enquire for more details. My costs normally include travel and the provision of homework. Lessons that are carried out on a biweekly basis instead of a standard weekly basis will be charged at a higher rate. See my main website for details or contact me. This is because it is often difficult to find another student in the same area and time to fill the other slot. Thank you for your understanding.

Where do you teach?
I predominantly teach at the student's home. My travel costs are included in the hourly rate.

When are you available?
I am available most of the time. However, I am heavily booked at the moment.

Describe your arrangements for online tutoring.
Email me for details about online tutoring.

Do you belong to any professional organisations?
I belong to the ASE. This is the Association for Science Education as well as the General Teaching Council (GTC). The ASE provides me with information on changes to the Science curriculum enabling me to be aware with the latest developments.

Where and with whom did you train?
My subject degree is through the Open University.I trained at University of East London whilst I was doing my teacher training.

Tell me about some of your current students.
I have a wide range of students, stretching across both gender and age.

All of my past students have improved upon their current grade. I will not only teach the subject but also show you how to pass the exams and also how to study for a wide range of exams.
