Tutoring Experience

Teaching Portfolio

Private Tutoring

In my most recent role, I was a self-employed tutor, teaching online private clients through platforms like Classgap and Tutorful, as well as independently. I delivered over 1,000 hours of instruction across a range of subjects, including:

GCSE: Biology, Chemistry, and Physics
A-level: Biology and Chemistry
Undergraduate and Postgraduate: Biochemistry

I employed an interactive, student-centric teaching approach, tailoring lessons to each student’s unique needs and learning style to ensure their academic success.
