Tutor Profile

CAROLINE

Private Biology and Chemistry Tutor in Craven Arms

I am a highly experienced and fully qualified secondary teacher, with over 18 years experience in teaching, and tutoring, within school and online. I also have over 15 years experience as a GCSE and A level Science examiner. I am a very patient, supportive, friendly, encouraging, reliable and hard working teacher/tutor.

I had over 40 five star reviews with First Tutors, before closure, so I have a proven track record of improving pupil confidence and grades in tutoring science and maths online, with all pupils gaining the grades they were predicted or in most cases even higher.

I also offer lessons during all the school holidays times.

Teaching Experience

I am a fully qualified secondary school teacher specialising in Science and Maths. I have extensive teaching and tutoring experience, in schools and online, in both mainstream teaching and special educational needs teaching. I have successfully taught and tutored pupils for 11 plus and 13 plus entrance exams, as well as for GCSE's in both Maths and all three Sciences, as well as Combined Science, and for A level Biology and Chemistry.

I have also 15 years GCSE and A level Science examiner marking experience, which allows me to support and explain to pupils what examiners are looking for within exam question answers.

Tutoring Approach

I have a detailed knowledge of all current syllabus for GCSE Sciences, Maths, (as well as Maths and Science IGCSE, Functional Skills, and BTEC), and all current A level Chemistry and Biology syllabus's. I use a combination of theory, exam practice questions, past paper questions, and workbooks in the lessons, to improve pupil confidence with exam technique, and focus on exam skills.

In addition, I adapt my teaching methods to support the pupils learning needs and help to identify areas of study in which they need help to improve. I also look at revision methods and planning revision timetables with pupils to help them find the option which works best for their learning needs.

Caroline has been my son's tutor for a good number of years for GCSE and A Levels. She is an excellent tutor and is very supportive and encouraging. My son really benefitted from her one to one personalised teaching approach and did really well in his exams and is now in university. I would highly recommend Caroline as a tutor particulatly for GCSE Maths and Sciences.

Caroline has been supporting my daughter, Eve, since the beginning of Year 10 with maths and science subjects. Eve has found Caroline to be really approachable and supportive in lessons which Eve has found reassuring. Eve tells us that she likes working with Caroline, which is the most important thing. She is able to work at her own pace with Caroline and so Eve's confidence has improved, especially in Maths, the subject she worries about the most. As Eve is now finishing Year 11, Caroline has been really flexible in the topics she covers. Eve knows that if she needs further practice on an area from school, she can go over this with Caroline to help it make sense. Having the 1:1 support has been really beneficial for Eve and we are so glad that we chose Caroline.

Tutor response

Thankyou for the feedback, she was a pleasure to tutor, I hope her exams goes well
