Information About Adam:

Personal Description:

I am married and have 2 young children

I have a PGCE in Science, a Degree in Environmental Science, and A-Levels in Physics, Biology and Chemistry. I have 15 years teaching experience, have worked as a Head of Subject for 8 years, and have led my Faculty in coursework moderation.

Teaching Experience:

I have 15 years teaching experience, and have taught Years 7 to 13 (with the bulk of my teaching in Years 12 and 13). I have also tutored a number of other students through A-Levels and GCSEs.


I have been successfully through four OFSTED inspections, and have been a mentor to a number of trainee teachers.

Tutoring Approach:

I like to make links between Science and modern culture. Many aspects of Science make it into films and the media, and these provide focal points for discussions (whether the Science is correct or not!). I believe that this makes the content more applicable and memorable.

As a practicing teacher, I have a good knowledge of the Science curriculum, and am also aware of misconceptions shown by many students. I try to address these areas, in addition to the areas requested by the tutee.

I like to use Powerpoint presentations during tutoring. These Powerpoints are linked to the National Curriculum and offer visual stimuli and multimedia resources.

Qualifications:

• PGCE: Science (11-16), Biology (16+)
• BSc(Hons) Environmental Science
• A Levels (Physics, Biology, Chemistry)
