Tutoring Experience

I have been a teacher of science for the last seven years, holding a PGCE together with experience as a key stage 3 co-ordinator and a head of chemistry position. I have taught science to pupils in a number of different schools, to keystages 3, 4 and 5 (chemistry). I am also an examiner for the AQA exam board.

Tutoring Approach

I'm a friendly and enthusastic teacher. With my passion for science, I employ a knowledge based teaching style, whereby I first determine the level of knowledge that the pupil has, together with indentification of gaps and misconceptions in that knowledge. I use interleaving of previous material, together with chunking, modelling and deliberate practice of new material to drive my pupils forward on their academic journey.
