GCSE Biology exam skills (teacher with 5 years of experience of teach AQA and Edexcel)

With five years of teaching experience and a PGCE in Secondary Science, I specialise in helping students develop the skills they need to succeed in GCSE Biology. I have taught both AQA and Edexcel specifications, and I'm confident in supporting students across a wide range of ability levels.

My approach focuses on strengthening exam technique—breaking down command words, tackling tricky application questions, and building confidence in extended response answers. I use past paper practice, targeted feedback, and proven revision strategies to help students understand what examiners are looking for and how to maximise their marks.

Whether your goal is to secure a strong pass or push towards top grades, I tailor each session to your learning style and specific needs, helping you feel prepared, focused, and in control on exam day.

About Me

Hello! I’m a fully qualified science teacher with five years of experience, currently working at a leading all-girls boarding school. I hold a PGCE in Secondary Science and an MA in Education, and I’ve taught a wide range of students from Key Stage 3 to A-level. I specialise in GCSE Biology and Chemistry (AQA and Edexcel), with a particular focus on developing strong exam skills and building confidence. My lessons are calm, supportive, and tailored to each student’s needs. I’m passionate about helping young people achieve their goals and enjoy learning along the way.

BSc (2.1) in Animal Behaviour

Experience / Qualifications

Science is a subject I’ve always loved for the way it helps us understand the world around us and I bring that enthusiasm into every lesson I teach. My aim is to make Biology and Chemistry not just manageable, but genuinely interesting and rewarding for my students. I’m particularly passionate about helping pupils prepare for their GCSE exams, focusing on developing the skills and confidence they need to succeed.

I have experience with both AQA and Edexcel syllabi and regularly use common textbooks such as CGP GCSE Biology and Oxford’s AQA GCSE Biology series. My sessions are structured around building subject knowledge, mastering exam technique, and breaking down tricky topics into simple, memorable steps.
This class is designed to help GCSE Chemistry students build the skills and confidence they need to succeed in their exams. Whether you’re studying AQA or Edexcel, I’ll guide you through the key question types, common pitfalls, and strategies for tackling even the most challenging exam questions. We’ll focus on: Understanding command words and mark schemes Structuring answers to calculation and extended-response questions Reviewing key content through targeted revision Practising with past paper questions Learning memory techniques for tricky topics Each session is tailored to your exam board and individual learning needs. Perfect for Year 10s wanting to get ahead or Year 11s preparing for mocks or final exams.
A-Level Biology can be content-heavy and challenging—but with the right exam skills, you can turn your knowledge into top marks. This class focuses on building the techniques and confidence needed to tackle AQA or OCR A Biology exams successfully. In these sessions, we will: Break down exam questions and command words Learn how to write clear, concise, and structured answers Tackle data analysis and practical-based questions Understand what examiners are looking for in longer responses Review tricky topics and apply them to past paper questions Develop effective revision strategies and time management skills Whether you're aiming for a grade boost, preparing for mocks, or working towards top university offers, this class will be tailored to your specific needs and exam board.

Explaining the science subject in a smooth and simple way that makes it easy for the student to understand and assimilate. The science subject is one of the subjects that requires understanding and concentration. The student must be present in mind. Good luck to all students 🥰 Explaining biology to high school students, in Arabic and English. Biology is a natural science concerned with the study of life and living organisms, including their structures, functions, growth, development, distribution, and classification. Modern biology is a broad field consisting of many branches and sub-specializations, but it includes some unified general concepts that link its various branches and upon which all studies and research are based. Explaining the subject of biology in an easy and simple way that facilitates the student’s comprehension, understanding and understanding. Biology is a scientific subject that requires focus and the student to be present in his mind. Good luck to all students

KS3/GCSE/A Level Science/Chemistry/Biology/Maths tutoring
About my tutoring: In my tutoring sessions, I will work with students to help them achieve their best grades. A typical lesson will include understanding content, mastering exam technique, and attempting and improving past exam question answers. I believe the best way to learn is in an active and engaging way, so this is how my classes will be, with lots of discussions and active recall to ensure understanding and embedding of knowledge and skill is maximised. About me: I am a current undergraduate student studying biology and chemistry at Cambridge University, so I understand the difficulty and pressure of exams and want to help students prepare and take away some of that worry and stress. I have also had experience teaching science in high school, so have deep-rooted knowledge surrounding science education. I truly understand the best ways to prepare and revise for GCSEs and A Levels, and have straight grade 9s and A*s to prove this. I have over two years experience in tutoring and have real in-classroom experience of teaching science in secondary school, so am equipped to help students achieve their best.
