With confidence we smash those learning goals

I am a qualified science teacher with 16 years experience. 

My reputation is one of an outstanding practitioner and leading STEM teacher. 

All of my higher education was undertaken at Durham University and I am immensely proud to have graduated from such a prestigious university with an honours degree in Biology (2007), a PGCE in secondary science (2009) and a masters degree in education (2010). 

I hold a current enhanced DBS certificate. 

I have vast experience in teaching  biology, physics and chemistry to students in year 7 through to year 11 and chemistry and biology through to year 13. During my time in state schools I worked with students of a wide range of ability and motivation levels. 

One of my key strengths is the ability to adapt as necessary, forming positive working relationships which ultimately aids student enjoyment in science, progress and outcomes. 

Head of transition between primary and secondary and secondary and A level science was a role I enjoyed for many years. The role saw me work with many KS1 and KS2 students to enrich their science curriculum and, at the other end of the spectrum; provide careful stepping stones to bridge GCSE and the demands of A level science.

Tutoring is my passion since it allows me to focus solely on what I am trained to do; teaching others to acquire new knowledge, higher understanding and developed skills. When my time and energy is focused in this way I thoroughly enjoy my work which is reflected in the quality of my lessons, resources and interactions with students. 

My student and parent interactions are completely bespoke as I adapt to your child's learning needs and styles and your communication requirements as parents/carers. 

It is my strong belief that students should enjoy what they do and making lessons fun and engaging is one of my top priorities as it paves the way for learning, growth in confidence and ultimately  the reaching of goals. 

Student confidence and progress is at the heart of every resource I make and lesson I teach.
