KS4 tuition in GCSE Physics, Chemistry, Biology & A-level Biology

​

​

Hello! My name is Chanel and I am a Biomedical, PGCE qualified secondary school Science teacher.  I tutor 1-1 in  KS4 GSCE Physics, Chemistry, Biology & A- level Biology. I offer either online or in person at my home.  My academic background and secondary school teaching experience means I am fully up to date on the latest exam board requirements.

 

Exam questions are designed to really test a pupils understanding not just their memory abilities. Therefore I focus on a 'step by step concept based learning approach'. This mean really getting to grips with the concepts behind the topic. In this way the pupil gains a thorough understanding for a given process\topic and can leverage that deep understanding to tackle misleading questions. Also I focus on the  key words the examiners are looking for. All too often I have seen pupils write long paragraphs but achieve little or no marks. This is because the pupil has not explicitly stated the key word(s) the examiners have to look for, this is especially true for the big mark questions.

 

As we know practice questions are a key part to success and they need to be worked through rigorously, lots of questions specifically targeting a given topic in order to reinforce understanding. This also builds confidence and a positive mind.
