Information About Robert:

Personal Description:

I am Head of Secondary Teacher Training and an Associate Assistant Headteacher for a Multi Academy Trust in Surrey. I am a graduate in Biochemistry and an experienced Leading Practitioner for Science in an outstanding Surrey school. Previously, I have been a KS3 Co-ordinator in Science and Deputy Year 11 Co-ordinator in a London secondary school. I enjoy playing badminton (I played on my school and university teams). Alongside these, my interests outside of work include travelling abroad, socialising and watching films at the cinema.

Teaching Experience:

I am a qualified secondary school Teacher of Science. I teach all three sciences (Biology, Chemistry and Physics) to GCSE and Biology to A Level. I have been an examiner for OCR and Edexcel examination boards for over 7 years and so I know what the examiners are looking for from students. I have written original mock examinations and other resources for education writing companies and my resources have been purchased by over 700 schools.

My most recent GCSE results for my classes were:

New GCSE 9-1 Combined Science Specification:

86% Grade 4-4+ (30% above the National Average)
57% Grade 5-5+ (23% above the National Average)
36% Grade 6-6+ (20% above the National Average)
11% Grade 7-7+ (3% above the National Average)
7% Grade 8-8+ (4% above the National Average)

GCSE Biology Legacy Specification:

100% A*-C (9% above the National Average)
81% A*-B (11% above the National Average).

My most recent A Level Biology results for my classes were:

94% A*-C (23% above the National Average)
72% A*-B (23% above the National Average).

I have successfully tutored students for A Level Biology, GCSE Triple Sciences and GCSE Foundation and Higher Combined Science.

Tutoring Approach:

My approach will centre around the tutee. It is important that s/he is comfortable with the approach in order for them to make expected or above expected progress. I will use a variety of techniques to include different learning styles and personal learning thinking skills in order to successfully answer the examination questions. Each session will have a variety of activities to assess the tutee's progress made in order to motivate them to achieve their full potential. I will be flexible and adapt the sessions in order to meet the tutee's individual needs.

Qualifications:

• BSc (Hons) Biochemistry (Pharmacology) University of Surrey
• PGCE Secondary Science (Biology) Loughborough University
• MSc Education Loughborough University
