Information About Victoria:

Personal Description:

My passion is exploring life and the world around us, and when teaching Science I aim to enthuse my pupils with the wonders of our world. Science is an exciting subject with many challenges and unanswered questions that I love to explore.

I really enjoy teaching - to me it is about helping learners to learn and discover things for themselves, and to give them a sense of achievement and purpose.

My hobbies include horse riding, being out in the countryside, travelling, and spending time with friends and family.

Teaching Experience:

I qualified as a Science teacher in 2002. Since then I have taught A level Biology in Wiltshire for a year, carried out some supply teaching in a range of subjects and have spent a great five years teaching in a Portsmouth school where I taught all of the Sciences to GCSE (Sept 2005-July 2010), including taking reponsibility for the Separate Science groups in the school.

I always ran popular after school revision classes, and had many pupils come to me throughout the school day for help and support in addition to my interactive lessons with them.

In Autumn 2010 I spent 4 months teaching A Level Chemistry and KS3 Science in a school in Gran Canaria. Since then, I have been tutoring full-time in all Sciences from Year 7 to GCSE, as well as AS and A level Biology (all syllabuses)

I am an Examiner for GCSE Biology and GCSE Science, which helps me to explain to tutees exactly what examiners are looking for!

Tutoring Approach:

I have an open, supportive, flexible approach to explaining any topics required, to boost your confidence, understanding and enthusiasm of the science subjects. I use exam questions with you as part of a structured revision programme, as I feel this proves to be one of the best methods of improving grades.

Qualifications:

• PGCE Secondary Science+Biology (Southampton University)
• BSc Zoology (Hons) 2.1 (Southampton University)
• PgC Practice and Pedagogy in Education (Portsmouth Universty)
• A Level Biology, Chemistry, Physics (Portsmouth Grammar School)
