Sophie IGCSE Bio - 5 (Sophie retook IGCSE for her Dental Qualifications after so may attempts BUT with a careful and structured programme she finally made it. These are her words:
''Cavin tailors each student via their needs. from the get go Cavin knew I had ADHD and struggled with learning. he realised I was a visual learner and taught me biology in a way I could see. Everything was easy as he whittled things down and made them easy for me teaching me biology but comparing things to things in everyday life which is priceless when trying to learn something new. he is the most friendly person and doesn't judge anyone regardless of their knowledge.''

Are having problems with subject knowledge?
Or perhaps you are struggling with confidence and exam technique?
Do you feel like you have the knowledge and you just feel you can’t put it right in exams or assignments?
Do you feel you are not reaching your full potential for some reason?
If one of the above questions apply to you look no further, you are on the right tutor profile.

I am energetic and innovative tutor with ability to bring lessons to life and cultivate an eager and active student engagement by adapting teaching style to suit the needs of different students. I have an excellent knowledge of the techniques and styles required to do well in exams.

I have a BSc (Hons), MSc, PGCE, and QTS. My expertise in structured and strategic tutoring can make a huge difference in confidence, skill set, grade obtained, choice of A levels, university, or even a career. For a boutique and bespoke tuition experience that does work and delivers tangible results please contact me today.

I am an expert examiner and moderator with Edexcel, and I am currently Head of Biology in a Sixth Form College. With over with 11 years of GCSE and A level examining experience and over 20 years of real classroom teaching experience, I consider myself to be an elite tutor and my record speaks for itself and I am probably one of the best science tutors on this site. I recently led a science department of a tough Sixth form college to first successful Ofsted result (October 2019) in 19 years of its existence. I have tutored AS/A2 Biology/Chemistry and IGCSE/KS4/KS3/13+ Biology, Chemistry and Physics.

I have obtained excellent results with my students because my lessons and resources have been fine-tuned and differentiated over many years. I have tutored over 300 private UK and International students with outstanding results, please see my feedback. I have successfully tutored students who have in the past three years entered Oxford, Warwick, Nottingham, UCL, Kings, and many others. I have an extensive array of fine-tuned exam board-specific resources specific (AQA, Edexcel, OCR, Edexcel, EDUQAS / WJEC) for teaching, examination, and homework.
I offer both one-to-one and online lessons. I have been doing online tuition for the past 4 years, but it has certainly seen a huge increase in popularity in the last 8 months, however many parents are not familiar with how this works. For an in-depth explanation on how this can be beneficial to you, your child's life and more on how it works, please contact me. The last 5 reviews on my profile are from online clients. I feel online lessons are more efficient than conventional face to face, with no travel expenses and time wasted through travel. I like to include parents as much as they feel they can, to ensure the best possible outcome.

I have a live DBS and I am the Designated Safeguarding Lead for my tuition company.

At the moment I am working on my Ph.D. which I hope to complete within the next five years. I have an interest in nature photography, love the outdoors and traveling.

========================SUMMER 2018 RESULTS==================================
Congratulations once again to my students who have done exceedingly well.
A2
Jack got a B - I took on Jack in the last term of his year 12. He was working around E/D grade. I worked with him and he improved his subject knowledge, exam technique and confidence. Armed with a B in Biology is off to study BioMed at a top Russesll Group Uni. Well done Jack and Best wishes.

GCSE
Students who set GCSE did so on the new specification. Students faced many challenges but those who chose to join me and my organisation did very well. Most students improved their working grades.

Arif - got 9,8,9 (A*, A, A*). Arif is an academically gifted student and he put in a lot of effort in his work.His working grade when he joined me was a 7,7,7. He will be studying his A levels at a top grammar school. Arif will be joining me as an assistant.

Callum - Callum got 4 (C) I took on Callum 3 months before exams and his working grade was 1,2 (E/G). I believe that of all students I have tutored he has made the greatest grade for grade improvement. I am so proud of the progress he made. He is off to study his level 3 course in a college. Well done Callum.

Tutoring Approach

MY STRATEGIC TUTORING OBJECTIVES:
 Audit level of understanding and attainment.
 Carry out a Learning Styles Questionnaire.
 Produce bespoke differentiated tutorial support lessons.
 Practice student centred tutoring.
 Practice and polish study and exam techniques focusing on scientific knowledge, application of scientific Concepts and how Science Works.

APPROACH:

My tutoring sessions are designed to help students seeking academic excellence achieve their greatest potential. they consist of the following core elements.

Define
Because I know a student can achieve when their needs are properly understood. I start by defining a student’s needs - the student's learning style, strengths and areas for development, by doing this I will have a clear view of the student and know precisely where to start.

Plan
After an assessment, I plan and create a bespoke differentiated action plan that is unique to the student so that the student can achieve success quickly.

Deliver
Using peer-reviewed motivation strategies and techniques I deliver excellent tuition, working on building knowledge, confidence, and more importantly on practicing and polishing study and exam techniques.

Assess
Because results matter to you and me. I constantly assess and track progress to engage your child.

Prepare
I run an intensive exam preparation program to set your child for success.
