About
I’m an Oxford-educated Biology specialist, experienced examiner, and qualified teacher with over 10 years of experience in both UK state and independent schools. I provide premium one-to-one tuition for GCSE, IGCSE, and A Level Biology, helping students secure top grades through a combination of strong subject knowledge, effective revision strategies, and expert exam technique.
Having taught AQA and Edexcel specifications extensively, I understand not only the content students need to know, but also how examiners award marks. My lessons place a strong emphasis on factual recall, application of knowledge, and regular practice with past paper questions to build confidence and maximise performance.
I also support students applying for competitive courses such as Medicine, Veterinary Science, and Biological Sciences, including Oxbridge preparation and interview practice. In addition, I offer guidance on academic writing, essay structure, and dissertation proofreading.
Every lesson is tailored to the individual student, with a clear focus on achieving measurable progress and helping them reach their full potential.

Reviews from First Tutors
Imported from Mr Marc V.'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.

He explains the topics clearly and concisely, which is whatever you want to learn. The learning is tailored to your current knowledge. Then consolidates with practice questions as well as provides extra practice questions too. He is also very friendly too and the lessons are enjoyable as well!

Marc has been a great tutor and helped me develop my maths, knowledge and exam technique needed for my exam. He is very punctual and organised, bringing practice questions which are specific to my weaknesses and also leaves me some to practice during the week. Marc is very clear and precise in his explanations and gives a broad understanding but also condenses the knowledge into the precise terminology needed for exam questions. It has been very pleasant to be taught by him.

Marc is very reliable. He is a very good communicator, using visual aids and always preparing tailored lessons to my daughter's needs, and bringing practice questions. Our daughter is growing in confidence. He is brilliant!
