Claire D.

My name is Claire. I am a highly qualified and experienced teacher of A level Biology. I have 25 years' experience of teaching Biology A level, and I was Head of a large Science Department at an outstanding sixth form college. I have also worked as an examiner. I am offering online tuition in Biology A level for students following the AQA examination board. My fee is £60 per hour (in line with my extensive experience) and success rates.

I adopt a friendly and personable style, but I am very much exam focussed ensuring plenty of use of past paper questions (which I set and mark as homework - this is unusual and included in the fee). I explain all difficult biological concepts thoroughly, coupled with the use of PowerPoint presentations. I ensure every aspect of the specification is covered thoroughly in order for students to meet mark scheme terminology. Students will have full exposure to all three exam papers and, therefore, will feel fully confident sitting their actual exams.

I have worked extensively with students of a wide range of abilities, and I have particularly vast experience of assisting students with their Medicine, dentistry and Veterinary Medicine applications. In my role as Head of Department in a sixth form setting, I have had extensive experience of the UCAS application procedure. Students I have taught have always met their full potential in their end Biology A level examinations and went on to their desired University choices.

The parents of students I have taught in the past have all given me very positive written and verbal feedback / I am a new member to this site as from July 2026.
