Personal Message: I am a 34 year old PhD student with some years teaching and tutoring experience at both secondary school and uni level. I have experience of tutoring all the GCSE sciences and all the exam boards.
Which subject(s) do you teach?: I teach all the sciences, Geography and Maths at GCSE, at A-Level I tutor Geography, Biology, Chemistry and Geology.
Tell me about your qualifications.: After getting good grades at GCSEs and A-Level (Biology, Geography, English) I went on to study Earth Sciences. I have a degree in Palaeobiology and Evolution, as well as postgraduate qualifications in Tectonics (PgCert) and Earth Science Research Techniques (MSc). I am currently engaged in a PhD to understand the tectonics of central Greece and the Mediterranean region.
What kind of experience do you have?: I have been tutoring Key Stage 4 (GCSEs) as well as AS/A Level for 3 years. I work with students studying under the major exam boards, AQA, Edexcel, and OCR and am familiar with what examiners from these boards are looking for, which can really differ.I provide a student-tutor led syllabus based approach. This involves careful assessment of student strengths and weaknesses as compared to the syllabus being covered before carefully targeted support based on a combination of tutorial exercise sessions, homework and exam drilling.

I also teach university level geology and earth sciences (past 4 years).
How much do you charge?: I charge £28 per hour for GCSE and £35 for A-Level. I charge £15 for each extra student above that. Discounts are available when paying in advance for block bookings.
Where do you teach?: I teach in and around Haringey, including, Wood Green, Hornsey, Highgate, Finsbury Park, Palmers Green, Bounds Green, Enfield, Waltham Forest, Crouch End,and Alexandra Palace.
I also teach in Islington, so Holloway, Archway, Essex Road, Cannonbury, Highbury.
Northern parts of Hackney that I teach in include, Clapton, Stamford Hill, Stoke Newington and Dalston.
When are you available?: I am flexible, and can do some days and evenings. Sunday lessons can sometimes be arranged, but are popular and not always available. Availability varies, so this best discussed on a case-by-case basis.
Which ages and levels do you teach?: 14yrs - Adult.
Do you have an up-to-date CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) disclosure certificate?: Yes. I have an enhanced CRB from November 2011, which I can produce on request.
Do you belong to any professional organisations?: I am a fellow of the Royal Geological Society.
I am a member of the Palaeontological Association.
I am an associate of the Geologists's Association.
Tell me about some of your current students.: Exams are over and some results are trickling through for people's mocks. Working on maintaining a standard where we're happy or identifying those key slips that might have dropped somebody a grade boundary here or there. Especially that all-important C/D grade boundary, though for the perfectionists amongst us aiming for the A*'s means continuing some rigorous work - especially those in year 11. Currently tutoring 2 students with GCSE maths (higher/foundation), 1 with Geography and a handful with their sciences aiming for grades between A* & C depending on which paper (higher/foundation) they're enrolled on... happy days.
