Alyssa C.

I am a fun, enthusiastic and experienced science tutor, with 3 years full time Science teaching under my belt, 4 years authoring and exam marking and over 8 years of tutoring and experience working within Education. I have a PGCE from Oxford University and an MChem from the University of Southampton.

I am a fully qualified, friendly and patient Science teacher, with experience in teaching and tutoring all three Sciences (Chemistry, Physics and Biology) and Maths at KS3 and GCSE, and Chemistry and Physics at A-Level. Since completing my PGCE at Oxford University, I have taught in a school near Oxford, and down in Somerset, and have been doing private tutoring whilst doing this. I teach all years from Year 7 through to A Level, and have enjoyed supporting my students to achieve high grades through all key stages. I have also been heavily involved in writing multiple A Level revision guides and schemes of work within the sciences, and am an experienced exam marker.

I love helping students to find their way around problems, and promoting a love of learning. I understand that everyone thinks and learns differently, so I work hard to help students access all content and I can cater for specific needs where needed. I truly believe online tutoring can be almost as good as in-person tutoring (if not better!), so I work with students to find the areas of their specification they are less confident in, and then together we work to connect the dots and create ways to access and understand the content. Answering exam questions can also be a daunting task for students, so I regularly use past paper questions in lessons to help students experience different styles, grow their confidence for answering exam questions, and practice their recall and explanations. I am available for online tutoring to provide flexibility where necessary. Please feel free to get in contact for more information!
