Personal Description: I am a 27 year old qualified teacher with a post-graduate certificate in education (PGCE) in secondary science. I have previously graduated from the University of Surrey with a degree in Biochemistry back in 2004. I consider myself to be a confident, hard-working individual who enjoys helping people to succeed and achieve their best. My studies provide me with a solid understanding of my subjects and my current position allows me to be up to date with National Curriculum requirements.

Tutoring Experience: My teaching practice and supply posts have provided me with up to date and recent experience working with students of all ages and abilities. In the past I have also worked as a volunteer classroom assistant and as a mentor during an organised summer school. I have a particular interest in working with pupils who might sometimes struggle to find their place within a normal classroom environment- behaviour problems, low self-esteem or lack of confidence sometimes being areas of concern.

Tutoring Approach: My approach to tutoring is based around the student. I aim to create a learning environment where students feel relaxed and at ease and are able to express any thoughts and concerns about a subject. Students are able to work at a rate the suits them and at a level that enables them to achieve the most from their tuition. The main aim is to achieve a 'high-challenge, low stress' experience.
