Hello! I am an experienced Head of Department and Online Tutor based in the UK specialising in Biology, Chemistry and Physics at GCSE, and Biology and Physics at A-level. I have a wealth of teaching and exam resources and a solid track record of improving student results.
I also tutor General Science and Mathematics at KS3.

After completing A-levels in Biology, Chemistry and Physics (all grade A), I began my B.Sc in Biology at the Queen’s University of Belfast, graduating with a First Class Honours. Prior to teaching I worked in food disease research and then the food retail sector, in both product quality and safety as well as procurement.

After some years I changed career into teaching, completing my PGCE in Physics at King’s College London. In my first teaching post, in a large mixed secondary school outside London, I was immediately given responsibility to develop new schemes of work for Physics at both GCSE and A-level for the new exam syllabi. Despite my lack of teaching experience at the time, my passion for Physics, for inspiring student learning, use of real-life application and focus on exam technique showed I was the right person for the job.

My dedication to raising the profile and attainment of Physics, not only in my own lessons but in the wider department, resulted in my official promotion to Head of Physics. In this capacity I continued to drive progress throughout the department through the sharing of best practice with non-specialist teachers and the department as a whole.

As well as improving academic progress each year, I developed the school’s STEM opportunities through extracurricular Crest awards and organised a residential trip to CERN in Geneva where students had the opportunity to see one of the particle accelerators up close.

My success in inspiring students and colleagues alike and continued improvement in student academic progress saw me promoted to Head of Science the following year. I am also an examiner for a UK exam board. Read less
