Experienced secondary school science teacher and personal science tutor / coach
Enhanced DBS
James Wilson PhD Science Tutor
I am an experienced secondary school teacher and science tutor teaching all GCSE single & combined sciences and A level Chemistry & Biology for the AQA, Pearson-Edexcel and OCR Exam Boards.
As a tutor I coach KS3 (years 7-9), GCSE, and A level science students to improve their understanding of the topics they are struggling with. In addition I work with my students to develop their own independent learning and revision skills. The overall aim is always to improve my students’ self-confidence and enjoyment of the sciences and to boost their examination performance.
Prior to agreeing to tutor students I like to understand and agree progress or learning targets for each student with each student and their parent(s) or carer(s) prior to starting private lessons.
I teach one to one or to small groups* of students at home or online.
Each class lasts 60 minutes with homework set for the student(s) that should take no more than 30 minutes. There is then a 15 minute homework and review online follow-up lesson within 1 - 2 days. Progress against aims are regularly reviewed so necessary lesson changes can be made.
(*Up to 5 students who want and like to learn and revise together.)
