Yvonne - Glasgow tutor






Information About Yvonne:


Personal Description:

I am currently a secondary school Biology Teacher. I obtained both my PhD and MSci degrees from Glasgow University and during this time I spent considerable time in both academic and industrial laboratories.



Teaching Experience:

-Current secondary school Biology teacher
-Extensive experience of tutoring university students at all levels in both practical skills and theoretical knowledge
-Experience of aiding students and pupils to write in a scientific manner including advanced higher laboratory reports and honours/masters project reports
-Experience of tutoring school pupils at all levels
-Experience of tutoring individuals and groups of varying sizes



Tutoring Approach:

I have no one approach to tutoring. The method(s) I use will be determined by the individual, how he/ she prefers to learn and what he/ she wants to achieve from the tutoring sessions. I feel that if an individual feels relaxed and is enjoying a subject, he/ she will learn more effectively. I am comfortable using all standard teaching methods including practical demonstrations, extensive questioning, written work and past papers. My position as a newly qualified teacher reguarly exposes me to new ideas and methods in teaching which I would be happy to try if I feel they may of benefit.
