Sarah

Physics and Biology Teacher in Otley

I am an experienced teacher and tutor with over 10 years of teaching GCSE Science and A-Level Biology, specialising in AQA specifications. I enjoy helping students understand the complexities of Science and Biology in particular, I aim to create a supportive and encouraging learning environment. I am patient and kind and focus on building student confidence, helping them not only grasp the content but also excel in exams. Having worked as an AQA GCSE exam marker, I have a deep understanding of the exam board's expectations and how to guide students towards achieving their best results.

Tutoring Experience

With more than a decade of experience in teaching and tutoring both GCSE Science and A-Level Biology I have developed resources to help students gain the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in their exams. Over the years, I have successfully worked with students of varying abilities, helping them improve their understanding and achieve their academic goals. I have also taught a variety of students both in-person and online, adapting my approach to suit the individual needs of each student.

Tutoring Approach

My tutoring approach is designed to ensure every student reaches their potential. I begin with clear and structured explanations of the content, breaking complex concepts into manageable parts and making them accessible for all students. I then emphasise the importance of practice, guiding students through exam-style questions to help them apply their knowledge and improve their exam technique. Whether online or in-person, I aim to create a positive and productive environment where students feel supported and motivated to succeed.
