Education background:
Degree in Psychology and biological sciences
Degree in Education
University of Alberta

Teaching Format:
The lessons I provide are always adapted to suit the student's needs and ability. My focus is to assist the student to feel successful and find success in learning science!
With a solid science and teaching background, I can fully relate to the challenges students face when studying a scientific concept and the importance of bridging the knowledge to the real world. I strive to achieve a relaxed yet educational learning atmosphere where I use humor, real-world topics during discussions and writing exercises to help students apply the knowledge acquired. I emphasize my teaching based on applying keywords and finding out the objective of the question, so my lessons will be aligned with that concept in mind.

Why me?
I take pride in helping you on the journey of learning Science, to assist you in achieving your academic goals! Whether that is preparing for the GCSE/ A level test, revising course work, I dedicate my time to ensure that all your questions are answered to the best of my ability! I want you to feel at ease learning Science with me, knowing that I am on your side!

Welcome to an engaging and dynamic learning experience designed to unlock the mysteries of GCSE & A Level Mathematics/Science! In these lessons, we embark on a journey of exploration and discovery, delving deep into the fascinating world of mathematical and scientific principles.

Key Features:

Interactive Learning: Prepare to be actively engaged in every lesson through hands-on activities, stimulating discussions, and immersive multimedia resources. We believe that active participation is the key to deepening understanding and retention of complex concepts.

Real-World Applications: Explore the relevance of Mathematics/Science in everyday life and various fields of study. From solving practical problems to understanding the underlying principles behind natural phenomena, we bridge the gap between theory and application, fostering a deeper appreciation for the subjects.

Personalized Support: Recognizing that every student learns differently, we provide personalized support tailored to individual needs and learning styles. Whether you're a visual learner, an auditory learner, or a hands-on learner, we strive to accommodate your preferences and empower you to succeed.

Conceptual Clarity: Our approach emphasizes conceptual clarity over rote memorization. We aim to equip you with a solid foundation of understanding, enabling you to tackle complex problems with confidence and creativity.

Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving: Develop your analytical skills and problem-solving abilities as we navigate through challenging mathematical and scientific scenarios. By encouraging curiosity and inquiry, we foster a growth mindset that prepares you to tackle real-world challenges beyond the classroom.

Collaborative Learning: Embrace the power of collaboration as we engage in group activities, peer discussions, and cooperative problem-solving tasks. Through collaboration, we harness the collective wisdom and diverse perspectives of the group, enriching our learning experience and fostering a sense of community.

Feedback and Reflection: Receive timely feedback on your progress and performance, guiding you towards continuous improvement and growth. We believe that constructive feedback is essential for refining skills and overcoming obstacles on the path to mastery.

Lesson Structure:

Each lesson is thoughtfully structured to optimize learning outcomes and student engagement. We begin with a brief overview of the lesson objectives and key concepts, followed by interactive presentations, guided practice exercises, and collaborative activities. Throughout the lesson, there are opportunities for questions, discussions, and reflections to deepen understanding and address any misconceptions.

Outcome:

By the end of these lessons, you will emerge as a confident and proficient learner, equipped with the knowledge, skills, and mindset to excel in GCSE & A Level Mathematics/Science. Whether you're aiming for academic success, pursuing further studies in STEM fields, or simply seeking to enrich your understanding of the world around you, these lessons will empower you to reach your goals and unleash your full potential.

GCSE and IGCSE Chemistry
Tuition covers teaching and revising theoretical and practical aspects of the exam specification.
Electronic resources, practice exam questions and video clips to consolidate the development of practical skills are covered in lessons.

I base my tutoring on the student's needs, developing their prior knowledge, building confidence in their learning and problem solving skills whilst developing exam technique.

At the moment all tuition is at my home or is online using Skype or Zoom for audio and a video link. I use an interactive whiteboard that permits PDF/Power Point slides and electronic documents to be used during lessons. A PDF of all the pages is downloaded for students to help them with note taking and as for revision in the future. Additional help sheets and practice questions can be supplied to help with developing learning and exam technique.

I develop the student's learning experience at school and provide additional resources and practice questions. My students are encouraged to develop their knowledge and an appreciation of what examiners require by developing their assessment for learning skills.

I enjoy tutoring and my students have all benefited enormously from individualised support in preparation for their examinations. Tutees enjoy their tutorial style lessons which are normally 1 hour in duration, but longer times can be arranged if required.

Group tuition can be arranged and a sliding scale for the tuition fee will be applied depending on the number of students involved.
