Heathfield Biology Tutors and Heathfield Biology Tuition

Personal Description:
Worried you or your kid might be lacking at studies????? No worries!!!! I am here to help.
Maths has always been my favorite subject (scored 100 % in 2/4 modules in a level) so I am ready to help in Maths and all the Sciences.
Fully DBS (updated version of CRB) checked as I am a community first responder volunteer ambulance services and I am also a 5th year MEDICAL STUDENT.

Teaching Experience:
I have been a private tutor for many years now (since 2006) and have a record of 93% of my tutees so far having obtained grade A or above in the respective subjects with none of my tutees so far ever obtaining lower than B.
It all started when I was a prefect at my school and college where I used to help students of different levels (including my friends from my own year) in learning difficult topics (in maths and science) and in preparing for exams. I have also helped a few teachers several times during an actual school lesson as teacher's assistant. But most importantly, in these many years as a private tutor, I have helped a lot of pupils only do well in their GCSEs and A-level. So far they have all achieved much higher standard than they were predicted by their teachers and this success of all these past tutees of mine makes me work even harder with all the new ones every year.

Just to assure you that I am not shy of putting in hard work I would like to bring to your attention that I did all my GCSEs in a single year instead of 2 and also ended up doing 2 of the subjects early. Even though maths was one of the early subjects, I still got A* and went on to do AS maths in the same year in which I also got A. So, maybe I can help with not only Maths and sciences but also with the management of time and workloads along with building their confidence and bringing out their desire to learn.

Tutoring Approach:
Will depend on the needs of the tutee as everyone is different but one thing that remains the same for all is the commitment and the level of sincerity from me.

Personal Description:
Super-tutor with a 1st Class Masters from Cambridge University and over 14 years of experience.

I have tutored internationally for high-profile and UHNW families, but also work online with students on a weekly basis. My style is fun and engaging, with a focus on confidence-building as well as achieving academic results.

Teaching Experience:
- 1st Class B.A. (Hons) in Education Studies with English and Drama from the University of Cambridge, 4 As at A-level (English, Biology, Geography and Theatre Studies) and 11 A*s at GCSE.
- Over 14 years (4000+ hours) experience as a Private Tutor.
- Have tutored around the world, travelling with families and living with them domestically.
- Extensive experience with students suffering from dyslexia, petit mal, ADHD and anxiety.
- 100% success rate in improving GCSE and A-level students' performance by a minimum of 2 grades or to the top possible grade.
- Successfully helped students get into schools including Eton College, Harrow, Westminster, Kings (Wimbledon), Sevenoaks, Winchester, St Paul's Girls, City of London, Godolphin & Latimer, Francis Holland School, Harrodian, Sussex House and Putney High School, and universities including Cambridge, Bristol, Edinburgh and Georgetown, US.

Tutoring Approach:
I am the tutor who is also the friend, always working to ensure the child learns to love the subject and want improvement for themselves, not because I demand it of them. As a result of my time, I want the child to develop positively as a person as well as within the subject we are working on.

Firstly, I will always aim to find the areas the child is having the most difficulty with and break it down to its simplest form to help them understand. Once a child has understood the basic principle of what we are learning, I aim to push them as far as I can with their learning - my memory of the best teacher's I had at school were the teacher's who pushed me even further than I needed to go, and who gave me more knowledge and information than I needed to know. I then found that I entered my exams relaxed and confident, knowing that I had excess knowledge. Rather than learning just to answer set questions in an exam, I felt I truly understood those subjects.

Personal Description:
Post doctoral researcher at University of Sheffield, working to improve mathematical computer models which predict onset of heart disease.

I recently completed a PhD in Bioengineering at Imperial College London, carrying out mathematical research on heart disease. My first degree was in Maths at the same university, and I took a Masters in Biomedical Research in between.

I attended both a state school and a top boarding school and am comfortable to cover topics on and off the standard syllabus.

I am a very fun, friendly person with a wide range of activities and hobbies from inline skating to singing and playing the violin.

Teaching Experience:
I have tutored A-level maths privately for a few years, and also spent several weeks as a teaching assistant in a secondary school during my undergraduate degree as part of the Student Associates Scheme. Many of my contemporaries from university are science and mathematics teachers across England and overseas, and I periodically discuss teaching methods and curriculum changes with them.

During my PhD, I led undergraduate tutorials and problems classes in the Mathematics and several Engineering departments, teaching undergraduates from 1st year to 4th year. The courses include Mathematical Methods, Matlab, Fluid Mechanics, PDEs, Modelling in Biology, Heat and Mass Transfer. I also carried out 1-1 tuition for undergraduates at departmental request. I have supervised a number of undergraduate and masters research projects and summer students.

Tutoring Approach:
I am a very approachable person and I prefer interactive sessions, although I can tailor the tuition style to the individual.

A first meeting would involve an informal chat for the student and I to get more familiar with his/her needs and style of working, and everything follows from there.

I am friendly and approachable and like to aim to raise student self-esteem and attitude to learning, focusing on positive recognition of achievements and constructive reinforcement of learning strategies.

I work just as easily with adults as I do with children.

Teaching Experience:
I have over 30 years of teaching experience teaching from pre schoo level up to GCSE level and adult learning for returning to work.

I also teach children within the care system who have missed a lot of the early building blocks through lack of education as opposed to lack of ability. This also includes overcoming huge barriers to learning !

Tutoring Approach:
I aim to develop an individual learning strategy to accomodate the students learning style and empower them to achieve and gain confidence through a positive learning programme suited to their individual style and needs.

Personal Description:
Hi, I am currently a 20 year old university student living in Birmingham, studying Medicine at the University of Birmingham. I enjoy working with children and passing on my knowledge in an understandable way, as someone who has recently undertaken GCSE's and A levels myself I feel that I can offer the highest degree of teaching and revision to students aged 11-16 through use of my recent personal experiences of coping with exams and figuring out effective learning and revision methods for certain areas of each subject

Teaching Experience:
I have mentored year 4 students in maths before as part of a scheme within school, as well as year 7 students. In total I have tutored 8 students over the last 2 years, all of whom achieved what they set out to achieve when I started my tutoring, from getting into the Liverpool Blue Coat School (the school that achieved the highest national GCSE grades the year that I sat GCSE's), to getting a grade 8 in maths (A* equivalent)

Tutoring Approach:
I feel that my unique selling point is that as a student myself, I can relate to the struggles that other students encounter when subjects are taught and delivered to them. My weaknesses and qualms during the GCSE and A level period were only resolved by my own active learning to teach myself topics which I couldn't grasp correctly from lessons, and I feel that these are areas and topics many students will find difficulty in understanding, whether it be in Maths, Biology or Chemistry, and so I believe I can effectively pass on my knowledge to help students achieve the highest grades by learning the trickier topics from a different perspective. I can also tutor in other subjects such as Physics, however my strengths are definitely greatest in the subjects I have listed, as well as in tutoring for 11+ exams.

Personal Description:
My name is Kat, and I am a qualified nurse currently pursuing PhD study following working as a Practice Development Nurse at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford.

I live in the beautiful village of Brill, Buckinghamshire, with my 2 year old son, and my husband who splits his time between Brill and Germany. We enjoy being outside, music and eating good food.

I have a passion for people, seeing them realise their potential and exceed their goals. I was a tutor with UK Tutors during my nursing training in 2010-2012, and can't wait to meet new some new tutees.

Teaching Experience:
I have had a range of education / developmental / teaching roles throughout my career, and through delivering education in a variety of settings and through different media I have gained skills which allow me to really focus on the needs of my individual tutees, their current levels of understanding and their end goals.

Personal Description:
Hi I'm Anabel, a 5th year medical student at UCL with a BSc in Women's Health (First class honours).

Every lesson of mine is 100% tailored to how YOU learn best. I have a thorough understanding of exam syllabus content and concepts, enabling me to explore subjects in great depth. My approach is designed not only to ensure a profound comprehension of topics but also to empower students with crucial examination strategies necessary for outstanding results and top-notch marks!

Teaching Experience:
I have over 4 years of tuition experience (GCSE sciences + A level Biology) and have received great feedback, from both students and parents. All students have achieved Grades 8-9 (GCSE) and A-A* (A-level).

Tutoring Approach:
In every session, I make sure to personalise the learning experience for each student. From teaching methods to the types of questions we tackle and how I evaluate your progress, it's all tailored to fit you perfectly. Whilst revising for my own exams, I tried many learning techniques and am now able to distinguish the most effective method for each of my students to use in their own revision. I've also become pretty good at explaining tricky concepts in a way that just clicks for you.

I like to start lessons by revisiting and reinforcing my student's current knowledge. From this starting point, we can further delve into the topic and work through the concept (as per the exam specification). To consolidate our learning we will do practice questions at the end and I provide weekly homework to go over in the next lesson.

In my online lessons, I recreate the classroom experience. Using a digital whiteboard, I write and explain concepts just like in a school setting. I ensure my lessons are interactive to ensure an engaging learning environment.

I look forward to working together towards your goals. Please feel free to message me any queries.

Personal Description:
Hello! I'm a qualified teacher currently teaching in a north Wales secondary school. I have 28 years teaching and tutoring experience and an honours degree in Biomedical science. I previously spent 3 years working as a qualified scientific officer at a large teaching hospital. I love my job and I'm passionate about science and working with students to improve their confidence and grades.

My two sons are both at secondary school so I understand the pressures of exams as a parent too.
I really enjoy tutoring and have met lots of lovely people along the way. It's great to be able to help students out and see the rewards of their efforts. I offer a flexible approach to learning (see below).

I live with my husband, sons, a crazy sheepdog and three cats who also love to make an appearance during online tutoring! My passions are gardening, genealogy, crafting and of course - science! I enjoy podcasts, broadcasts, books and magazines especially on the topics of human evolution, molecular biology and pathology.

Teaching Experience:
I have been teaching in schools in England and Wales for over 24 years and I currently specialise in teaching WJEC/EDUQAS (Welsh exam board) A level biology along with GCSE biology, physics and chemistry. I began tutoring in 2000 with online tutoring since the COVID restrictions in March 2020. I also work for an exam board marking A level papers.

I have successfully tutored many students over the years mainly in A level biology, GCSE physics, chemistry and biology. I have recently started teaching AS level Physics too.

My experience includes teaching:
WJEC A level biology; A level health and social care, and child care (current specifications)
WJEC level 3 certificate health and social care (current specification)
WJEC GCSE biology, physics, chemistry and applied science (current specifications)
Key stage 3 science
AQA GCSE biology, physics and chemistry (current specifications)
AQA A level biology; A level health and social care
BTEC National level 3 certificate health and social care (current specification)

I have also worked as a moderator at A level biology for AQA exam board (2007).

Tutoring Approach:
As the mother of two teenage boys, I understand the importance of patience and humour in tutoring. I love science and really enjoy passing on my passion to others. Tutoring has allowed me to meet some fantastic people and I get a huge sense of satisfaction in helping out and watching them progress.

Since COVID, my tutees and myself have made the transition to online tutoring which, although I was sceptical at first, I now feel this method works even better than in person. It gives me better access to resources to use in lessons and to pass to students without the need for printing, it allows more flexibility with lessons, allows me to reach students who live further away, avoids lesson cancellations due to poor weather and is less intrusive for the student's family.

What to expect during lessons:
Online lesson via Teams.
Teaching using an online whiteboard tackling the topics or problems requested by the student
Using current past paper questions to practise exam technique as well as knowledge and skills
Exam preparation and revision tips
Links to other study resources, past papers and mark schemes (I don't show videos during lessons)

I'm happy to be flexible about:
Subjects and topics - I'm happy to switch between science subjects or topics within a lesson or between lessons since I offer GCSE biology, physics and chemistry.
Times e.g. sometimes students want extra time before school assessments or need just a bit longer to finish off a session.
Dates - life is often busy so I'm happy to move lessons around if I'm free.
Lessons - things happen and sometimes students need to cancel a lesson at the last moment. Online tutoring gives us the flexibility to do this without any problems or any fee.
Help - students can contact me with any problems or questions at any time and get some quick help as soon as I am able.

Please get in touch if you have any further questions.

Personal Description:
Hello to all prospective students. My name is Mark and I have been teaching secondary level Science and maths for over 10 years. I am personally passionate about learning and endeavour to ignite the same love of learning in each student that I teach.

I have loved science and maths from a young age and went on to pursue a degree in biomedical sciences, prior to my secondary teacher training. I hope to continue to work with young people to help them realise their own goals in the fields of science and engineering.

Outside the classroom I am an avid musician and play guitar to grade 6 as well as writing and recording my own songs. I love to listen to audiobooks about ancient history and geopolitics, often whilst on a long walk in the countryside. I also like to play some sports and swim occasionally.

Teaching Experience:
I am currently working across a multitude of schools in the North East of England for CER education resourcing. I have also worked as a science teacher for an outstanding rated academy, where I was personally graded outstanding as a teaching professional.

Throughout my career as a KS3/KS4 science teacher, I have taught and marked material for both AQA and EdExcel exam boards, which has given me an in depth knowledge of their expectations when it comes to GCSE exam preparations.

In recent years, I have also enjoyed teaching maths to key stage 3 across a variety of schools. As there are many mathematical principles which must also be applied to the sciences, teaching mathematics has helped me to develop teaching skills in both of these areas.

Tutoring Approach:
My initial goal whilst tutoring will be to assess a pupils abilities in each aspect of the subject, before moving on to anything specific. The logic behind this method of tutoring is to fill in any small gaps in basic subject knowledge so the students have a strong foundation with which to build on. From experience, this has always helped with pupil understanding and led to much better exam outcomes.

Later in the school year we will be able to work on application of knowledge which is essential for getting levels 7,8,9 in exams. I will introduce students to a variety of exam techniques so they will be able to choose the ones that lead to their best work.

Personal Description:
Professional Science Tutor | Academic Mentor | Neurodiversity Specialist
Dr Michelle Scott, B.Sc. (Hons), Ph.D., PGCertHE, FHEA

I am a full-time, highly experienced science tutor and academic mentor, specialising in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics from GCSE through to undergraduate level. With a Ph.D. in Biochemistry, a postgraduate certificate in Higher Education Teaching, and Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA), I bring over two decades of expertise in high-level education.

My career spans senior teaching, research, and leadership positions across universities, independent sixth forms, and specialist schools. I provide targeted support for students preparing for medical, dental, and bioscience degree applications, including entrance exams such as the BMAT, UCAT, and university-specific assessments. I work extensively with academically ambitious students attending top-tier independent and selective schools, as well as international learners and home-educated pupils seeking exceptional, personalised science tuition.

I have a particular strength in supporting neurodiverse students, having spent eight years teaching science in specialist schools for the National Autistic Society. My deep understanding of autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and PDA enables me to deliver adaptable, effective, and empathetic lessons that build confidence and reduce anxiety.

Whether your child is aiming for competitive university admissions, top grades, or simply greater confidence and clarity in science, I offer expert guidance grounded in experience, academic rigour, and a warm, supportive approach.

Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. Please feel free to get in touch if you'd like to discuss how I can support your child's learning journey.

Teaching Experience:
With over 20 years in science education, I have taught and led in diverse academic environments-ranging from Russell Group universities to top-performing schools and specialist SEN provisions. My background combines subject expertise, leadership experience, and a strong understanding of both mainstream and individualised educational pathways.

Higher Education & Curriculum Development
Working in research and teaching at several UK universities, I served as Head of Science and Academic Partnerships, where I led curriculum design, academic strategy, and cross-institutional collaborations. I taught Biochemistry, Biomedical Science, and Molecular Biology, and supervised undergraduate research and dissertations.

Secondary and Sixth Form Science Teaching
I have taught all three sciences (Biology, Chemistry, and Physics) at GCSE and A-level, working across UK exam boards including AQA, OCR, Edexcel, and CIE. I specialise in helping students prepare for competitive undergraduate courses and sixth forms.

Specialist SEN Education
My experience includes nearly a decade teaching in National Autistic Society schools, where I led science teaching for students with complex needs, including autism, PDA, and ADHD. This role required highly adaptable, low-demand, relationship-based strategies, which continue to inform my one-to-one tutoring with neurodiverse students.

Academic Mentoring & Admissions Support
In addition to subject tuition, I support students with personal statement development, revision planning, and project/report improvement. My mentoring helps students approach learning with clarity, confidence, and a clear roadmap toward success.

Professional online science tutor
I deliver highly tailored lessons designed to build subject mastery, critical thinking, and academic confidence. My approach enables students to catch up with school content, re-engage in classroom learning, and strengthen their independent study habits. I support students in developing effective exam technique and revision strategies, while guiding them through complex scientific concepts at a pace that suits their individual needs. Lessons are structured, responsive, and enjoyable-designed to motivate and empower learners to reach their full potential.

Tutoring Approach:
My approach is rooted in personalised, outcomes-driven learning that respects the individuality of every student. I build long-term, trusted relationships with students and families, offering structured weekly tuition, academic mentoring, and intensive support during holidays or before exams.

I begin by identifying each student's strengths, learning style, and goals-whether that's achieving top exam results, building subject confidence, or securing a place at a competitive university. Lessons are carefully paced and fully tailored, integrating concept mastery, exam technique, and independent thinking.

For students preparing for medicine, dentistry, or bioscience degrees, I provide expert guidance on course selection, entrance exams (UCAT, BMAT), and personal statement writing-offering a clear advantage in an increasingly competitive admissions landscape.

For neurodiverse learners, I use a low-anxiety, flexible, and strengths-based approach. I draw on years of experience in SEN education to ensure students feel safe, seen, and supported. My sessions are calm, responsive, and adapted in real time to accommodate processing differences, energy levels, and emotional needs.

Online lessons are delivered through high-quality platforms using interactive tools, virtual whiteboards, and shared resources. I maintain regular feedback with families to track progress, refine goals, and ensure a collaborative, transparent learning experience.

Whether your child requires strategic long-term mentoring or short-term academic intervention, I deliver results-focused tuition that builds capability, confidence, and genuine love for science.
