Urte P
Enthusiastic Biology tutor
I am a doctoral student, I learn by seeing. Hence I like to use a lot of diagrams, and visualise what I am teaching. As a student of Biophysics and Micropscopy, I have to understand an be able to break down many complex structures into more digestible material. Learning by seeing helps with that and I have found that helps students as well. My motto is to get through the root of what is unclear and then build up from there. I adapt my style based on the student, so I am very happy to teach students from any academic back ground. I am happy to teach Biology, Chemistry and English Literature, as...

Jazvir K
Jazvir is an exceptional teacher who is truly dedicated and hardworking. He carefully tailors each lesson to meet the individual needs of his students, ensuring they fully understand the material. His explanations are always clear, structured, and easy to follow. He adjusts the pace of the lesson according to the student’s ability, which makes learning both comfortable and effective. What really stands out is his explicit and thorough teaching style — he makes sure the student builds real confidence and a strong understanding of the topic. Additionally, he sometimes goes the extra mile by spending additional time with my daughter to ensure she fully grasps the lesson. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a supportive, patient, and highly professional tutor.

Amy is really helpful as I have been struggling with biology. I really engage with her different teaching methods e.g flashcards and applying to real exam techniques. If i don' know something Amy will never hesitate to keep rexplaining in differemt ways with diagrams, words etc. Active recall has really helped me recall information. Amy does different exam boards too so is specific to what you will be questioned on. Overall, definitely reccomend Amy!
