I am a qualified and experienced teacher and tutor of biology and chemistry, who greatly enjoys helping students with these subjects. As well as being a qualified teacher and college lecturer, I have also had experience in medical research and have published much of my research work.

I always adapt my teaching approach to the needs of each student. I attempt to make lessons as interesting and stimulating as possible by employing various online resources such as videos and relevant websites. I very much enjoy reducing the stress students often feel in learning course work for exams.
