Biology Tutor Online: Senior Examiner: A LEVEL and GCSE: Cambridge Graduate
About
Hello! I am a very experienced A-level /GCSE biology teacher and Cambridge graduate. I provide high-quality tuition for all exam boards. As a senior examiner, I offer a deeper understanding when it comes to answering exam questions and my students benefit from my individualised approach to learning. I understand the content and know the common exam technique errors made by students. It’s about identifying these areas and working together to improve.
I have over 30 years of teaching experience in 11-18 schools and sixth form colleges, teaching A level biology and GCSE science. As a fully qualified teacher, I have a master’s degree from Cambridge University and a post graduate teaching certificate from Lancaster University. My extensive experience as a senior examiner means that I understand exactly how to teach students the best way to answer exam questions.
