Interview

Which subject(s) do you teach?
A-level: Biology
GCSE: Science (Biology, Chemistry and Physics)
KS3: Science, Maths, PE
KS2: Science, Maths, 11+
I have also often been asked to help with a range of other subjects, such as psychology in the lead up to exams in order to help with general revision strategies to get students ORGANISED!

Tell me about your qualifications.
I completed a Bachelor of Science (Hons) at the University of Melboure in Australia, followed by a one year Diploma of Education (Secondary). I then moved to the UK and have been working here as a science teacher since 2008.

I recently converted my qualifications gaining UK Qualified Teacher Status through a General Teaching Program (GTP) and Overseas Trained Teacher (OTT) Program in 2010.

What kind of experience do you have?
In the UK I have four years Science and Biology teaching experience. I have really enjoyed tutoring a range of students through this website since 2010 primarily working with A-level Biology, but have helped with most subjects at GCSE and even 11+ training.

I have worked in three comprehensives and have worked for 2 years in a Grammar school - thus I have strong experience working with students from a variety of backgrounds, abilities and aspirations.

My tutees attained excellent exam results and some real confidence in their own study techniques. My students have received excellent results at GCSE and A-level. For example 20 % of the students in my GCSE classes recently attained above their target grade where 80 % were A-A*.

How much do you charge?
£35/hr for A-level Biology
£30/hr for GCSE
£25/hr for KS2 and KS3

Please note: Prices are negotiable as are rates for group lessons depending upon the number of students.

A-level sessions typically run for 1 hour 15 mins, but I allow up to 1.5 hours per session.

I am willing to extend the length of any session as required.

Where do you teach?
I am happy to teach at your home or you may come to my quiet, clean and safe home in Cheshunt.

I am happy to travel to areas nearby areas within 45 minutes.

When are you available?
I am available:
- during the day on a Monday, Tuesday or Thursday
- after school any day of the week
- on the weekends.

Which ages and levels do you teach?
I am happy to work with students of any age: from 6 to 106!

Do you have an up-to-date CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) disclosure certificate?
Yes.

Describe your arrangements for online tutoring.
I can tutor through skype if needed. I have also regularly kept in email contact with students when close to exam time for additional support.

Do you have a personal message for students?
As a teacher I have lots of experience helping students of all abilities! My lunchtimes were always busy as students have always felt comfortable to approach me for help, to ask questions and know that I will persevere in finding a strategy that works for them! I really enjoy it when you feel a sense of achievement because then I do too!
