Tutor Profile

Roger

Private Biology and Chemistry Tutor in Banbury

Dr Roger W Gerke-Bonet (PhD Molecular Biology, MD) I am a 66 year old male of European background whit extensive experience in research and business. Worked extensively on high level maths, chemistry, biology and Physics. Currently living in Banbury near Oxford and delivering tutoring both online and face to face. The vast majority of my students (over 400) have been accepted to their University of choice

Teaching Experience

I have been tutoring privately for over 20 years in the areas of Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Molecular biology. I have delivered tutoring to over 400 students from years 7 to university with and average improvement of 1 grade every 3 months (12 sessions). I have my own materials that I provide to my students at no extra cost. I am able to deliver and are fully conversant with all national boards and international curriculums. I currently also teach students in Dubai, Europe, India and the US that intend to continue their education in the UK

Tutoring Approach

I adjust my tutoring to the mode that is more effective for a particular student. Apart from this, my teaching is based on making sure that the student learns the bases of topics and not just information. When a student understands what he/she is doing, the methodology becomes just set of tools that are used to solve a problem.

I do support my students holistically, making sure that their dominance of the subject is as complete as possible and working to increase their self confidence in the subject. I will help them prepare their UCAS application and practice for the interviews that are common at top universities. I will continue to support them (if they need) during their first year of university. Most of my students stay with me for years as they tend to perform at the top of the class (8/9 for GCSE and A/A* a-levels)

Dr Roger has been an outstanding tutor for my daughter in both Mathematics and Biology. He supported her through GCSE and A Level, and his teaching played a significant role in her achieving her target grades and receiving offers from all five universities. Dr Roger has a remarkable ability to adapt his teaching approach to the student’s capability. He explains fundamental concepts with clarity and patience, ensuring strong subject foundations before progressing to advanced topics. Through his structured guidance and encouragement, my daughter was able to progress from an average level to an excellent level of understanding and performance. He is highly knowledgeable, disciplined, and genuinely invested in his students’ success. I would strongly recommend Dr Roger to any GCSE or A Level student seeking high-quality academic support and measurable results.
