I am Dev, a science teacher based in the United Kingdom. I have been accredited by OFSTED/Department for Education as an “Excellent Teacher”. To gain this accreditation you need to show consistent outstanding results over a number of years and have the ability to teach outstanding inspiring lessons on a daily basis in the classroom. I have been a science teacher for thirty years now. I also have been teaching private lessons at secondary for thirty years now. I teach A/AS Level Biology, IB Biology, IGCSE and UK Science GCSE’s. I have an excellent command of A/AS Level Biology (AQA/OCR), IB Biology, IGCSE and UK Triple Science GCSE’s.
My approach to tutoring is simple but highly effective. I discover what the students strengths and weaknesses are and therefore understand how to adapt my teaching style to suit their needs. I develop a climate of calm, patience and trust, but with a high level of expectation. A simple lesson plan would be to tackle and reteach a students area of concern. This is not through rote teaching but by breaking down the topic into its simplest components and then rebuilding the topic back up to the level of complexity that needs to be understood. This is then backed up with mini assessments within a lesson to gauge the students learning. Finally, extended homework tasks can be set to help embed the learning that took place in the lesson.
About me
Hi, I am Dev, a science teacher teaching in the United Kingdom. I am currently the Head of Biology in my school and have held the post for the past ten years. I have also mentored and trained science trainee teachers for the past twenty five years.
I have a real passion for science and this can be seen in my lessons where students will often have smiles on their faces and enjoying their science lessons. I am very proud of my strong history of outstanding results and wish to use this experience to help your child.
I also have many years of experience teaching students with learning difficulties such as dyslexia, ADHD and Asperger's syndrome
I have a fun and warm personality and have the ability to make students feel at ease. I have a passion for playing football and cooking. I always focus on the positive things in life and try to instil that ethos into my students.
