Catharine

I’m a kind, warm, enthusiastic and organised teacher. I have an Honours degree in Biochemistry and have taught Biology (up to A level), Chemistry (up to GCSE) as well as Key Stage 3 Science for most of my working life. Fifteen years ago I also started teaching Mathematics at the school I was then working at (Birkenhead High School Academy) and since then my teaching time has been shared almost equally between Science and Maths due to demand for Maths and the confidence and enjoyment I experience in teaching that subject.

Tutoring Experience

Wirral schools I’ve taught in include Birkenhead High Scool for Girls, St.Anselm’s College, Birkenhead High School Academy and Wirral Grammar for Girls. I also taught both Maths and Science abroad in Garden International School, Thailand (an amazing opportunity!) for one year before returning to the UK and working for Wirral Home Education Service teaching children with medical needs one to one in their own homes.

Tutoring Approach

I believe that young people work best in an environment which is quietly encouraging, structured and supportive.
