Head of Biology for A-level
I am an experienced Biology teacher with a proven track record of teaching in state, independent, and international schools. Over the course of my career, I have held the position of Head of Biology at a highly successful state school, where I was responsible for driving excellent academic outcomes and fostering a passion for the subject among students. Additionally, I have worked as a troubleshooter for underperforming international students, helping them overcome academic challenges and significantly improve their results.I hold a degree in Biochemistry and a PGCE from the University of Bristol (2004). My strong academic background, combined with extensive teaching experience, allows me to break down complex concepts into clear, concise explanations that students can easily understand. As an experienced examiner, I focus heavily on exam technique, teaching students how to structure answers effectively, master mark schemes, and approach questions with confidence.
My teaching philosophy centres on building understanding, confidence, and exam readiness. I adapt my lessons to suit the individual needs of each learner, whether they are aiming for top grades or working to strengthen their foundation. Over the years, I have helped countless students unlock their potential in Biology, with many going on to achieve outstanding results and secure places at top universities.
