“I help students get great GCSE Science grades"

I have over a decade of UK classroom teaching and tutoring experience. My goal is simple - to help students who struggle with science develop confidence and pass their exams.

I am the Lead Tutor of an online tutoring Academy where we help students jump 2-3 grades in GCSE Maths and Science.

My mission goes beyond academic excellence; I help students develop the personal and interpersonal skills necessary for long-term success and fulfilment beyond the classroom.

I have now helped over 500 students significantly improve in a short span, many enhancing their grades by 2-3 levels.

I am committed to unlocking each student's full potential.

Tutoring Experience

Lead Tutor | Education Consultant & Mentor⚠️Limited slots⚠️ ⇛⇛EXCLUSIVE RESOURCES⇚⇚

I have over a decade of classroom teaching and tutoring experience. My goal is simple - to help students who struggle with science develop confidence and pass their exams.

I have worked with students from a range of backgrounds and abilities including tutoring students identified as underachieving. As a Qualified Teacher, I am fully conversant with all major exam boards (Edexcel, AQA and OCR). My specialisms are Biology and Chemistry.

Whether your child is currently working at grade 4 or grade 7, I help children master the foundational concepts so that they can easily build upon their knowledge and access higher marks.

Student Success Stories
✔ As a secondary school teacher, I have helped thousands of KS3 and GCSE Science students from years 7 to 11 improve their grades
✔ Worked with over 500 students as an online tutor over the last few years
✔ As a Lead Tutor, I have helped hundreds of students improve their confidence and grades by up to 3 levels, achieving Top Grades and Marks in their GCSE Maths and Science exams.

Parents and Students I help:
Below are examples of the many parents and students I help…
✔ Your child is currently sitting around grade 5 and above. You want support to help boost their confidence and motivation to reach their full academic potential (Grades 7 - 9)
✔ Your child has fallen behind and you want to ensure they get back on track and stay there.
✔ Your child is doing well and you want to ensure they continue to stay on track
✔ You are concerned about your child's stress levels, mental health, and ability to cope with an extensive workload.
✔ You struggle to find time, effective resources or the right tutor to help your child succeed and maintain a healthy balance.
✔ You want your child to gain entry to their dream sixth-form, colleges or top grammar and independent schools.
✔ You are a hands-on parent living in international locations such as Hong Kong, China, India, or the UAE, and you want to provide extra support to your child at boarding or other independent school to stay ahead of the curriculum and achieve their next academic goal.
✔ You are a family who travels frequently between locations with different time zones for holidays or work assignments, and you want to ensure your child's educational needs are consistently met without interruption.

What some of my families say:
I love the teaching environment created for my son. He has improved by 2 grades in maths and sciences. I would definitely recommend to help other families too. (Kemi O)

Very organised & clear tutor, very good at covering the syllabus & preparing for exams. Lovely way with our daughter (16yrs) & establishes good working relationship. Helpful and clear feedback also to parents & always very ready and thorough in addressing any concerns. Would really recommend (Ms Karmeshana)

Sylvia has taught me for over two months now. She has helped me massively. She creates useful powerpoints which includes information related to topics I learn in class., leading me to feel confident and secure in my science lessons. I definitely recommend Sylvia for any student out there looking to improve or further their knowledge in science. (Katy G)

Tutoring Approach

My lessons are interleaved with questions and other assessment tasks as well as frequent end-of-unit exam questions. All this helps to assess the child’s progress and improve memory retention and learning.

Practising exam papers also helps consolidate learning and dissipate children’s fears around examinations.

My tutoring sessions are built largely around student’s weaknesses. I identify how each child learn best and teach them using more of that method. I also use everyday examples to explain key concepts which helps build confidence and increase the child’s love and understanding of the subject.

So, if you have a child in secondary school who needs help with science, then get in touch to find out how I can help you.
