About
Hi, I’m Lily! I am an experienced GCSE and A-Level tutor specialising in Biology, Chemistry and Geography, with over 7 years of tutoring experience helping students build confidence, improve grades, and achieve their academic goals.
I achieved 5 A’s and 5 B’s at GCSE, followed by an A* in Biology, an A in Geography, and a B in Chemistry at A-Level, so I understand both the challenges students face and the strategies needed to succeed. I graduated with a First-Class degree in Biomedical Science from King's College London, further strengthening my expertise in the sciences and my ability to explain complex topics clearly and effectively. Additionally, I currently work as a Medical Writer, which allows me to bring real-world scientific knowledge and strong communication skills into my lessons.
Over the years, I’ve worked with students of all abilities across a wide range of exam boards, and I pride myself on adapting my teaching style to suit each individual student’s learning needs. Whether a student needs help understanding difficult concepts, improving exam technique, or boosting confidence before exams, I create supportive and engaging lessons tailored specifically to them.
I also provide access to a large bank of high-quality resources, including revision checklists, topic-based exam questions, structured notes, and past paper practice to ensure students feel fully prepared and organised throughout their studies.
My aim is always to make learning approachable, effective, and stress-free while helping students reach their full potential.
Please feel free to get in touch with any questions or to arrange an initial chat. I’m always very happy to discuss goals, learning styles, and how I can best support.

Reviews from First Tutors
Imported from Lily R.'s First Tutors profile before the site went dark. Shown separately from Tutorperch reviews — today they don't feed this tutor's Tutorperch rating or ranking.
How we verify these
Each imported review went through admin review. The tutor proved ownership of the First Tutors profile via one of two paths:
- Photo match. The First Tutors avatar matched the tutor's identity-verified Tutorperch photo, confirmed by admin.
- Cryptographic email check. The tutor uploaded an original First Tutors email (.eml). We verified the DKIM signature against First Tutors' signing keys and cross-checked the embedded tutor ID against the claimed profile.
The review text is the original reviewer's own words, quoted as-is. We verified the tutor's ownership of the profile, not the truth of what each individual reviewer wrote.

Lily is a superb tutor! I’ve been taking weekly GCSE geography lessons from Lily for over a year now and I have improved significantly. A very friendly tutor, very flexible and I would definitely recommend!

Lily has really helped my daughter engage with learning for her GCSE Geography Exams. My daughter struggled with her class teachers teaching method. Lily has made all topics much easier to understand and makes the student feel at ease. She is prompt with communication and super friendly.

A passionate tutor with good biological knowledge. Unfortunately the flexible lessons just wasn’t a good fit for me personally so I’ve had to discontinue. Good luck with the future !
Lily R. replied
Thank you so much for your feedback, I'm really glad you found the tutoring helpful and that my passion for biology came through. I understand that the flexible lesson structure may not suit everyone’s preferences. However, I do aim to keep scheduling adaptable to ensure all students have a fair chance at booking sessions - especially during the busy exam period when availability and needs can change week by week. Wishing you all the best with your studies!

Lily has been an amazing help for chemistry A level. Previously I was lacking confidence in my answers and struggled with certain areas of content; since starting weekly lessons I feel better about those topics. Lily makes the lessons easy to understand and explains them in a way that is applicable to exam. She is friendly, polite, and patient, and I would absolutely recommend.

We are very pleased with Lily's teaching and support, especially with her ability to help build my year 11 daughter’s confidence. Lily has been assisting her with GCSE combined Science, by working through past exam questions, then reviewing and discussing my daughter’s answers, giving praise, explanation and direction on how to improve. If you are looking for a science tutor, Lily is knowledgeable about her subject, confident and has a good teaching technique. I have confidence that Lily will continue to help my daughter with techniques, content, motivation and confidence to improve her grades.
Lily R. replied
Thank you so much! Has been a pleasure to work with you both! She is doing excellently.

Lily was great tutoring my daughter at A Level. She was worried she would get a D in Biology. But Lily’s support was a contributing factor to the B she was awarded. She is very approachable, friendly -and helped make the curriculum more accessible.
Lily R. replied
Thank you so much! An excellent grade that she has worked hard for and made fantastic progress throughout the year.

I started tuition quite late for geography in year 13 but as soon as I received help from Lily i saw an increase in my grades and understanding in geography. Lily tutored me based on how i preferred to learn and she explained everything clearly to me in order for me to get the best results as i could!
Lily R. replied
Thank you so much! You were a fab student, wishing you all the luck in the world with your future, stay in touch!

Lily has brought the enjoyment back to a subject that my 14 yr old daughter has previously found uninspiring. Lily is young and being a student herself clearly loves Biology and her enthusiasm has refocused my daughter in her studies. Thanks Lily.

Lily was extremely helpful in building my confidence over my A level geography course! She never failed to answer a question which i had and always helped me when i was stuck on a question. She provided excellent materials to support my learning and would send me the powerpoints after so i was able to complete extra revision in preparation for my exams. Thank you Lily, i wouldn’t have been able to do this without you! :)
Lily R. replied
You’re the best! Such a pleasure to teach and wishing you all the best of luck with your future!
