Flora - Bristol tutor






Information About Flora:


Personal Description:

I am a 25 year old woman living in Bedminster. I studied BSc Genetics at Swansea University and graduated in 2004. I achieved the Ivor Isaac Memorial Prize for Microbiology for my dissertation.



Teaching Experience:

I have two years qualified teaching experience. I have taught GCSE for both years (AQA syllabus), and A-level biology (SNAB) for one. I find science really interesting, especially genetics which is my specialism. I am confident teaching physics and chemistry at Key Stage 3 and also most topics at GCSE (electricity, energy, forces. atomic structure), although some areas I am less confident on (waves and radiation, metals, earth materials).

I am able to offer SNAB teaching at A-level (biology) but only units 'On The Wild Side' and 'Grey Matter'



Tutoring Approach:

I love science and love seeing it all around me. I find it fascinating and like to share this fascination with others. My teaching style is enthusiastic, patient and comprehensive. I am happy to branch out into other areas of discussion if the session leads that way, it's all part of the learning process, and helps to stimulate interest. In 121 teaching I hope to take the teaching outside of the room, perhaps into the kitchen, the outdoors... where ever the teaching can be maximised. We may even set up projects where relevant and accessible, so aid learning.
