Scottish Curriculum (National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher) Biology

I tutor Biology at National 5, Higher, and Advanced Higher level. I can provide help understanding course content, practicing exam questions, and more. If you are thinking about crashing a subject I can help provide a basic level of knowledge which it is extremely beneficial to have when directly entering a subject at a Higher or Advanced Higher level.
The sessions can be completely dictated by what the student feels they need from me or I can take a more structured approach after an initial consultation.
I am a friendly and passionate tutor with a comprehensive understanding of my subject.

About Me

I am a Biochemistry Undergraduate student at the University of St Andrews. I have a passion for chemistry and enjoy encouraging students to fulfil their potential within the subject.
As a student myself I understand the pressures of exams and learning. I wish to provide a tutoring service where the student can choose what the best way for them to learn is and to deliver this for them. I have a comprehensive understanding of my subject and the Scottish curriculum (SQA) and so can deliver exam targeted advice.
I have experience mentoring National 5 students as well as general experience working with young people.

Biology lessons for middle school, high school and college students!
Biology is a powerful science that becomes more and more influential as time passes. Biology allows for us not only to understand the world around us better but also helps us understand what goes on within our own bodies. Having studied Biology at the University of Edinburgh, I am incredibly passionate about the subject. Currently I am pursuing my research Masters degree in Biochemistry, working closely with protein design. I believe research is incredibly thrilling and learning about new research techniques and ideas feels like having a cookbook you can cook something fun and novel out of everyday! I would love to share my passion for Biology with you!

Oxbridge Application Preparation (Life Sciences Admissions)
Are you thinking of applying to Oxbridge for Life Sciences (Natural Sciences, Biology, Biomedicine)? With acceptance rates averaging around 15%, you want to give yourself the best chance to get that offer! And this is where I come in. I hold a 1st from Oxford in Biological Sciences and have volunteered as an Admissions mentor for over three years, coaching students through the application process. We will work together to adapt the course to your needs, working flexibly to focus on the areas where you want extra support. How can I help? - Personal Statement Support: Writing a personal statement doesn’t have to be painful. We will create an initial outline using your experiences and interests, producing a clear message and story throughout. Then, I will provide editing support, helping you to cut words down for the strict character limits. - Course and College Selection: Overwhelmed by the choice of courses/colleges? I can provide personal, insider knowledge into each college, helping you to make the right decision for you. - Tutorial Prep: Using my knowledge of the tutorial system, I design personalised tutorials based on your interests, fostering your love of science and building your confidence. Self-belief is an underrated skill, and together we will work to develop your confidence to speak up, even if you think you are wrong. - Interview Prep: The infamous Oxbridge interviews will not be as scary as they seem after our sessions. Using the self-belief and scientific analysis skills developed in our tutorial sessions, you will feel well-equipped to deal with an interview scenario. Initially, we will go through my bank of interview questions, discussing your approach and response to questions. As time goes on, we will start to practice mock interviews, 30-45 minutes of questions with feedback given afterwards. - Admissions Test Prep: Many courses demand rigorous admissions tests, which require sound subject knowledge and lateral thinking. We will work on these together, helping you to become accustomed to the style of the questions. I look forward to hearing from you!

Biology and Chemistry: Secondary education - private lessons.
Need help with geography, biology or chemistry? As a civil engineer, 31, I am happy to help you! Learn at your pace and with many examples to clarify the learning material. I have years of experience in learning simple and complex material. The lessons run as follows. First, we look together for the student's biggest stumbling blocks. These can be related to the subject matter as well as to the study method. From there, I work at the pace of the student and encourage them to ask as many questions as possible. I also give tips and tricks, and improve their working methods where necessary. During the lesson I give many examples to make the subject matter more interesting and we solve exercises together. Once practiced from the lesson, I mastered challenging exercises to also test the deeper understanding of the subject matter. In this way I try to optimally prepare the student for his/her exam test. However, learning should also be enjoyable. That is why I always strive for a bond with the student through a spontaneous and positive approach. I am also very patient. All this to solve and improve the problems. Are you interested? Don't hesitate to receive me! Please come! Timo
