MSc in Zoology
I have worked as a tutor for various age groups, focusing predominantly on science. My experience extends to teaching in a professional educational setting. I have always maintained an inclusive learning environment serving students with various cognitive and socio-emotional needs.
My approach to tutoring A-Level Biology is rooted in patience, compassion, and varied guidance based on the needs of each pupil. I draw upon my extensive background in zoology research to relate academic concepts to real-world applications.
Levi is awesome, but we had a few scheduling mix-ups, which was inconvenient for me.
Levi has been a godsend for me. His depth of knowledge and teaching style has transformed my view on Biology. I’m not just passing exams, but genuinely loving the subject!
Levi's use of scientific models is fantastic. He is clearly passionate about biology, and it shows in his teaching. Levi is very dedicated to teaching. I always find him patient and calm. His teaching style is quite supportive and smooth. Very professional and supportive tutor for sure. His slides and other study materials are also included in learning. He was also willing to give me more time after lessons. I will continue learning biology with Levi.
MPhil in Evolutionary Biology
I'm your friendly, approachable, and slightly quirky A-levels Biology tutor. In my 4 years of teaching, I made sure I broke the norms and became someone with whom students could relate. By day, I'm teaching the young brains struggling with their Biology course. And by night, my love for Human Nutrition and Dietetics makes me experiment in the kitchen as an aspiring chef.
My teaching style? Think of it as a mix of a friendly chat with a mentor and a hands-on science experiment. Instead of droning lectures, I turn facts into tales, making each lesson feel more like an episode of a thrilling podcast. Imagine learning about DNA through a narrative that’s as fun as your favourite mystery novel. Next is my "Collaborative Problem-Solving Strategy." In our sessions, we are a team. We tackle challenging problems together, and we solve them as partners. It's not me handing down knowledge. It’s us discovering and learning side by side. Plus, I’m big on feedback. I've created a system, where my students and I keep a shared log of our sessions, our progress, and our goals.
Our sessions always feel prepared just for me. The tutor picks up on what I'm struggling with before I even realise it myself. A lifesaver! And Sienna’s way of covering the subject content is just perfect. I also like her exam prep tricks and A-level examiners insights. These are all the ingredients that made me get an A*.
Really good tutor, but sometimes hard to schedule sessions due to time differences.
Biology used to intimidate me, but Sienna’s clear and engaging style makes everything seem so simple. This tutor’s style is engaging and interactive. I’m thriving in my Biology class now!
MSc in Botany
Hello! I'm Tom King, an enthusiastic A-levels teacher with 4 years of rewarding experience. I have an MSc in Botany, which I earned with high honors. This means I've got the in-depth knowledge to back up my teaching. Whether it’s showcasing the biology of local bird species or explaining topics through the lens of my outdoor experiences, I make learning as vivid as a walk through a forest. I have helped many students improve their grades and develop a genuine interest in science. If you want the same to happen to you, book a trial session with me to see my skills.
When it comes to teaching, I believe every student is unique. One method I use is Contextual Learning. I connect difficult concepts to real-world applications, making theories relatable. Ever watched a pot of water boil and wondered about the science behind it? I’m here to guide you through these everyday phenomena, using them to break down scientific concepts. Moreover, I focus a lot on revisions to help with topic retention. For this purpose, I use Interactive Revision Technique, where I urge students to teach a topic back to me. Unlike many other tutors, I’m a believer in the power of positive reinforcement and always celebrate the 'small wins' with my students. This helps to build a motivating and stress-free learning environment.
Our daughter needed to raise her Biology grade, and this tutor was a game changer. Professional, kind, and effective. I recommend Tom.
Amazing tutor who genuinely cares about my progress. Always ready to help, even outside of our scheduled hours. If my school grades are going up, it’s only because of Tom’s sincerity. He never ceases to amaze me. Please don’t stop teaching!
Knowledgeable and friendly tutor, but sometimes assigns a lot of reading material.
