I am an experienced A level Biology teacher. I have a first class degree in Biology, a masters degree in Environmental Science, an FAETC certificate and a PGCE.
Tutor Profile
Teaching Experience
I have 25 years experience teaching A level Biology in both school and college settings. I have experience teaching all exam boards ( OCR, AQA, Eduqas, Edexcel). I have been an A level Biology examiner for 10 years.
Tutoring Approach
I offer one to one tuition in person and online. I have a classroom at my home and I use a drawing screen for online tuition. I have a great deal of experience and success working with students who need an A or A* grade for a medical/veterinary/dentistry application. I believe that a deep understanding of the subject matter is essential for success. I will also focus on maths and exam technique if this is required. I am offering 3 tuition places over the summer with the possibility of continuation in September.

An amazing teacher! Amber has a thorough approach at explaining key concepts in Biology, and made me love topics that I used to not like. She always makes topics interesting in all ways possible, and makes me understand concepts in simple ways without overcomplication, but also to the required sophisticated level for the A-level course. She has always answered my curious questions beyond the A-level course, so that I can have a sound understanding of the topics. Thank you so much Amber!

Amber, has been helping my son with Biology A Level. He finds the subject challenging! Amber has always been patient and engaging and was able to explain concepts in a way that he could understand. I would have no hesitation in recommending Amber and am only sorry that our schedules no longer align.

After a change of teachers at school, our daughter had lost some of her confidence in A level Biology. Amber’s tutoring was so thorough, clearly presented and thoughtfully explained, taking our daughter’s learning style into consideration. We were so grateful for Amber’s input and for rebuilding our daughter’s self-belief and getting her back on track. I would recommend Amber for tutoring without hesitation. She is the perfect combination of well prepared professionalism with approachability and warmth.

Amber helped my son following his dissapointing Yr 12 EOY test restults. He enjoyed their sessions, said Amber was very easy to understand, and highly valued her experience & insight in relation to exam questions and marking. Highly recommend!
