I am a friendly and professional tutor with over 25 years experience helping students. I specialise in A level Biology as well as Chemistry and Biology at GCSE. I have degrees from Newcastle and Cambridge, I am based in the North East of England and I'm happy to do both online and face to face sessions.
Tutor Profile
Teaching Experience
I have a PGCE in secondary science and have been tutoring for well over 20 years. I currently work in the pharmaceutical industry so have both academic and practical experience of communicating scientific ideas.
Tutoring Approach
I have a friendly and relaxed approach centred around the needs of the individual student. I try to tailor sessions so that different people with different learning styles are able to maximise their potential. I don't think tutoring should just mirror what happens in the classroom and I actively encourage participation and question asking.

Very timely in his responses. My daughter is finding his sessions very informative and he is certainly very knowledgeable.

Ollie enjoyed his sessions with Tim and his understanding of the subject greatly improved. He always responded quickly and it was never a problem scheduling sessions. Would recommend Tim.

Tim responded promptly to my messages and has started tutoring my son A level Biology. He is friendly and professional and my son finds his sessions really helpful.
