Tutor Profile

Sarah

Private Biology and Chemistry Tutor in Leeds

Fully qualified teacher with vast teaching experience of 25+ years which includes being a KS5 Science Coordinator and Teacher Training Coordinator.

Specialist support for medical, dental and vet med students and Oxbridge candidates.

Wealth of experience in 1:1 tuition both online and in person over 20+ years which has been enhanced by 15+ years experience as an examiner for the exam boards at A level and GCSE.

I believe in building confidence and developing a love of learning unique to each student I work with to get the best outcomes.

Teaching Experience

I have taught in a variety of schools across the age and ability range from Yr7 to Yr 11 Biology,Chemistry,Physics and Combined Science for all exam boards including international students.

At Yr 12 and Yr13, I have taught A level Biology across all exam boards including international students.

Working as an examiner for the exam boards has given me an in depth knowledge of what an examiner is looking for and good exam technique to benefit my students.

Currently, I work full time as a profession tutor and have had many students go on to do degrees in subjects such as medicine, dentistry, optometry, biomedical sciences, marine biology, pharmacy and pharmacology.

Previous tutees have included students, mature students and graduates . Some students have had particular needs such as home educated students; dyslexic students and students who have missed a lot of school due to personal circumstances.

Tutoring Approach

I offer online tutoring which means I can offer tutoring in the comfort of your own home and anyway geographically.

I have a flexible approach to tutoring to suit each individual tutee. It maybe confidence that needs building; knowledge developing further or sorting out exam technique to obtain maximum marks.

Everyone is treated as an individual and I will work with the tutee to maximise their potential in a friendly and accessible way.
