Hello, I'm Tracy Smith, a Biology, Chemistry and Maths Teacher/Tutor with a rich background in Biological Science from the University of Sussex. With over 14 years of experience in education, coupled with a 15-year career in sales, training, and development within leading Medical Pharmaceutical industries, I bring a well-rounded skill set to tutoring. My expertise is bolstered by advanced qualifications in coaching, counselling, and Neurolinguistics Programming, allowing me to offer exceptional support and understanding to my students. I am dedicated to fostering a nurturing learning environment that enhances academic and personal growth.
Over the past 14 years, I have passionately taught Biology, Chemistry, and Maths across various educational levels, from primary to secondary and sixth form. I currently serve as a KS3/KS4 teacher at Gosling Tennis Academy School and a Personal Tutor for GCSE and A-Level students, consistently helping pupils exceed their potential. My role as an OCR GCSE Chemistry Marker, coupled with extensive experience at prestigious institutions like Sandringham and Verulam schools, equips me with a deep understanding of different syllabi, including AQA, OCR, and IGCSE. My commitment to excellence has led to significant academic successes for my students.
My teaching philosophy centres on a student-focused approach, where I aim to recognize and cultivate each student's unique abilities and interests. I strive to make learning engaging and motivational, pushing students to achieve and often surpass their goals. My background in Neurolinguistics Programming and empathy-driven communication allows me to tailor my teaching methods to diverse student needs, creating a supportive and empowering atmosphere. The cornerstone of my teaching style is boosting confidence, believing in every student's potential, and fostering an environment that supports their educational journey.
