Prior to teaching I have worked in life science Reasearch and Development and in Biopharamceutical research, sales and marketing. I also worked a part-time voluntary teaching assistant in primary and seconday schools for 2 years. In 2014 I decided to change career completely to become a science teacher, so I trained at Kings College, graduating with my PGCE in 2015.
My background prior to teaching brings additional experience and skills to my teaching. Chemistry is my specialist subject. I have taught and tutored all sciences successfully to years 7 to 11, and have taught and tutored Chemistry and Biology at A level.

My Psychology degree and 9 years of experience working with children with Neuro-divergence and additional educational needs prior to teaching have significantly shaped my approach to teaching.
I prioritise relationship building and trust with students and their caregivers.
I am patient, kind, and incredibly encouraging but have high expectations. I work with students for them to also gain high expectations in themselves. This may happen in the first few sessions or may take a longer period of time depending on the student.
I help students gain high expectations for themselves by initially giving tasks where they are guaranteed success, then celebrating and reflecting on this success and how they were able to use the skills taught and their effort to complete the task. This builds a persons confidence and significantly increases the likelihood of attempting more difficult tasks. This is heavily proven by research (and seen in my classroom daily) known as the “theory of self efficacy” and the “theory of planned behaviour”.
If a person does not believe a task is within their capability, they are incredibly unlikely to even attempt it (No matter how much we believe they can do it).
It is my job to SHOW students they can do it by designing tasks and lessons in a way that they feel challenged finish with pride in their achievements.
When teaching new skills I will show them first, then we will complete a task together, then they will apply the skills independently. I will be constantly assessing as they work independently and provide support where necessary. The ultimate goal is to phase back my support until they are using the taught skills correctly, consistently, confidently and independently.
Lessons will vary depending on students needs. If caregivers want to spend a percentage of the lesson to discuss, that will be agreed upon. If there are specific targets you want me to cover then we can dedicate time for you to tell me these expectations. If you would prefer me to assess your student and gage where the gaps are and plan accordingly, that is also ok.
I would suggest an initial session to meet, and discuss goals.
Some classes you may benefit from:
-SATs Prep
-Phonics
-Reading (comprehension, vocabulary, inferencing, predictions, explaining, retrieval, sequencing, summarising, making links, authors intent)
-Spelling
-Grammar (or Spelling and grammar combined)
-Maths
-Maths (arithmetic)
-Maths (Reasoning and Problem solving)
-Target specific - has your teacher said there are targets you need to work on in various subjects?
-Science
-History
-Geography
-Psychology (GCSE, A Level)
Is your child in secondary school but needs support in the foundation subjects such as reading, writing or maths?
Reading and writing is an essential skills in secondary school for every subject. I can support your child to close the gap so they can access all subjects with their peers. Having worked in secondary schools before, I have seen how much students are required to read and write in all lessons, but there will not be opportunities to learn these fundamental skills at school.
I welcome students of all ages (including adults) from all backgrounds and of all abilities.
I look forward to meeting you soon and celebrating the amazing progress ahead!

Hi, i'm Mariyam. I always knew I wanted to be a teacher, so I studied to teach children of a primary school age for 3 years at a great university. I have been a qualified teacher since I was 21 and have 8 years in total of teaching experience, including my training years.
Feel free to enquire about other primary school subjects, including History, Geography and RE.
The best part of educating is knowing you're making a difference to a child's learning and helping to set them up for a successful future.

As mentioned, I'm currently a student who is about to enter Sixth Form at the beginning of the next academic term. As a teacher, l portray myself to be very calm, considerate and patient. I have developed such a diverse skillset from being both a proud older sibling and an incredible teacher to many of my friends and relatives of whom would reinforce my words. Likewise, I'm a very friendly, caring and understanding young lady who enjoys developing new connections and supporting others to the best of my abilities! This is reflected in my style of teaching as I enjoy elaborating further on points students may not quite grasp at first glance as well as providing a fun and inclusive environment where students on feel they are able to work to their full potential without fear of judgement for whatever reason! Although I'm just entering Sixth Form, l believe that my teaching capabilities are just as elaborate and enlightening as someone of a higher qualification. As an aspiring teacher, l acquire excellent communication skills which allow students to feel comfortable in the created learning environment moreover they're more likely to thrive with a humerous and thoughtful teacher. Therefore, l hope that you entrust me to provide quality education to your child while also developing their social skills and general confidence. Thank you for reading!

I am a Physics specialist and currently Head of Physics & Head of Year in the school I work at. I have been teaching for over 18 years now and have been proud to see many of my ex students pass their exams with flying colours. Some of the students I have taught are now working at CERN as a Particle Physicist, one has completed a PHd in Astrophysics and another is now a pilot. I aim to enthuse, engage and motivate and not just aim for good results, I aim to get students to love Physics and the world around them. I am keen on STEM related careers and will always encourage students, especially girls, to follow these routes into exciting and innovative careers. I'm a great believer in building strong relationships with my students, where we have a mutual understanding of the benefits to learning.
Due to coronavirus, I will currently be able to only deliver online tuition, I am happy to have an initial free consultation/ chat to discuss your childs needs and what they are looking to achieve, both long and short term in terms of this subject. I would also be happy to have an initial online chat to see if my style is suited to your child and vice versa. I have QTS status and have an enhanced DBS certificate. I have tutored students from both grammar and comprehensive schools. Please get in touch if you want to find out more/ availability.

I was a scientist, leading my own research group before becoming a teacher. I am passionate about the subject and can bring extra knowledge on how science is woven into our daily lives and explanations about natural phenomena. I really enjoy teaching science, but also understand that it is a lot of information and so I focus on breaking it down into smaller pieces of information and ensure that you understand each part, leading to a good understanding in the subject overall.

Hi, my name is Vicky and I'm an ex-head of science at a secondary school in London. I have also been a tutor for the last 4 years. I've been teaching for just over 6 years with experience on multiple exam boards and teaching all specialisms of science. I am currently teaching myself how to code and looking for a career change, however, I am still tutoring as I love how rewarding it is!
I gained my PGCE in 2017 and started my role as a science teacher in July 2017. I have taught all three sciences for both AQA and Edexcel, and chemistry up to A-Level. I have also worked as an examiner for both AQA and Edexcel, giving me priceless experience and insight into getting marks in exams! During my time as a teacher I received multiple nominations for 'changing lives as a teacher' awards within my trust - once as a trainee, once as a teacher and once for working cross-collaboratively across multiple schools.
In your first lesson it's important that we get to know each other well so I can understand your goals and where you are currently at and so you can figure out if I am a teacher you'd like to learn from! We'll do an overview of some of the foundational topics in your chosen science (or all three if you'd like) during which I can assess your current level and you can get to see my teaching style. I am happy to set out a curriculum for your tutoring sessions or go with the flow each week where you let me know what topic you'd like to cover.
Review from a parent not on TutorExtra (contact details available upon request):
'Vicky has tutored both my kids. She is patient, and extremely organised. She prepares well for each session and really adapts her tutoring to the exam board that the school is doing. This is really important to us. We didn't just want a science graduate who didn't know all the exam board quirks. Having used many tutors over the years, my eldest has said she is the most useful tutor she has ever had. Vicky is also extremely kind. The proof has been in the pudding - chemistry mock at a level 3 moved to a 7 in the GCSE! She is now tutoring our second child over Zoom and that is also working very well. Name and contact details withheld but available privately via Vicky.'

I have been a Primary School teacher for the past 4 years and have experience teaching KS1 and KS2. I am currently a Year 6 teacher, Environmental Science Lead and completing my Masters in 'Teaching and Learning' to help develop my teaching abilities to ensure all children learn. During my PGCE, I specialised in maths but I am very confident teaching all subjects according to the National Curriculum.
As a tutor, I am aware lessons need to be structured better to support your child in accessing the work and I am confident I will be able to find engaging yet challenging ways to help them progress. I have experience working with children with SEN needs and so I have readily available resources to help your child if necessary.
Previously, I have tutored for Year 6 SATs, 11+ exam, Year 1 phonics screening, Year 2 SATs and Year 3 children.
