LoginMarjorie - Bath tutor
Information About Marjorie:
Personal Description:
I have always loved science, and for my first degree I studied biology at London University. I worked for two years as a plant physiologist for ICI Agrochemicals before moving to Bristol to work towards a PhD. I studied the molecular genetics of plant pathogen, and stayed on in the lab as a researcher after I finished my PhD.
I am now a parent and am teaching part time in Bath.
Teaching Experience:
I achieved my PGCE in secondary science from Bath Spa University in 2007. My first teaching job was at a secondary school in Wiltshire, teaching all sciences at KS3 and 4. In September 2009 I started working part time teaching A level biology at a secondary school in Bath.
I have marked A level biology papers for the OCR exam board for the last few years.
Tutoring Approach:
I discuss a topic with the student to assess their understanding, and to find which areas need clarification or explanation. I aim for a secure understanding rather than rote learning. I believe it is important for students to be familiar with the approach used by the exam board that they are working for, so I ensure that have plenty of practice with past exam questions.
