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.
BSc in Botany
Hello, I'm Maxine Young, your dedicated guide through the world of Biology. My experience is in hands-on work in research settings. I don't just teach Biology. I live and breathe it, continually updating my knowledge with the latest scientific research to guarantee you learn the most current and relevant material.
Learning should be fun, productive, and adjusted to you. That's exactly the experience I provide! Are you a visual learner or more into hands-on experiments? No worries, we'll find the approach that works for you.To keep things fresh, I add modern teaching technologies into our sessions. For instance, I love using platforms like Kahoot! for lively quizzes, and Edpuzzle for adding questions into videos. It’s a great way to learn and test knowledge simultaneously. I’m also a fan of virtual labs and simulations, such as the ones offered by The Biology Project or HHMI Biointeractive, to bring the thrill of experiments right to your screen. Learning biology with me means cells will come to life, DNA will open before your eyes, and ecology is more than just a chapter in a textbook.
Maxine is patient, encouraging, and so knowledgeable. She takes the time to understand my learning style and prepares the lessons just for me. I have never received such bespoke treatment. It makes me want to make her proud by studying hard. Thanks a bunch!
Maxine is wonderful, and her passion for Biology is undeniable. Her grasp of the subject is simply impressive, so is her ability to convey concepts in a straightforward manner. Maxine helped me with my last A-level examinations. She is also really patient and empathetic. Maxine is always willing to answer my concerns and address any weaknesses where I am struggling. She does it in a way that is helpful and encouraging. Overall, I would give Maxine a five-star rating!
Maxine’s the best.
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.
