David

I have been an experienced examiner and teacher for over 30 years, offering tutoring in KS3, GCSE, and A-level Biology.
I specialise in exam techniques for both GCSE and A-level biology. I help students understand the concepts, biological processes, and their applications. I also work intensely to raise students’ grades.
My experience of working as an Examiner for GCSE and A Level Biology helps me focus students on the technique required to get the grades.
As well as tutoring at home, I also tutor online which gives more flexibility to students (digital resources are provided).
As well as weekly sessions I also offer a series of intensive tutoring sessions when required.
I am currently available weekday evenings and weekends.

Tutoring Experience

I have extensive teaching experience at KS3, GCSE and A-level Biology
I am a Biology teacher with over 30 years of experience teaching Biology at all levels, from KS3 to Higher Education. I am also an examiner for GCSE and A-level Biology in the UK and abroad. As a result, I have a very good knowledge of all the examinable content and coursework components for all levels.

Tutoring Approach

My teaching philosophy is student-centred. Tutoring should always be student-led, and I employ this philosophy, which I have found to be very effective in retaining knowledge and its application.
As an experienced teacher, I have adapted the teaching style of being very flexible and personalising my teaching methods/materials tailored to the student needs. I have found that going over an area of the content, explaining the difficult concepts/areas and complex processes as well as going through the examination style questions is very effective. The objective is to build confidence and skills with a view to improving examination performance.
