BSc in Botany
Hello, I'm Maxine Young, your dedicated guide through the world of Biology. My experience is in hands-on work in research settings. I don't just teach Biology. I live and breathe it, continually updating my knowledge with the latest scientific research to guarantee you learn the most current and relevant material.
Learning should be fun, productive, and adjusted to you. That's exactly the experience I provide! Are you a visual learner or more into hands-on experiments? No worries, we'll find the approach that works for you.To keep things fresh, I add modern teaching technologies into our sessions. For instance, I love using platforms like Kahoot! for lively quizzes, and Edpuzzle for adding questions into videos. It’s a great way to learn and test knowledge simultaneously. I’m also a fan of virtual labs and simulations, such as the ones offered by The Biology Project or HHMI Biointeractive, to bring the thrill of experiments right to your screen. Learning biology with me means cells will come to life, DNA will open before your eyes, and ecology is more than just a chapter in a textbook.
Maxine is patient, encouraging, and so knowledgeable. She takes the time to understand my learning style and prepares the lessons just for me. I have never received such bespoke treatment. It makes me want to make her proud by studying hard. Thanks a bunch!
Maxine is wonderful, and her passion for Biology is undeniable. Her grasp of the subject is simply impressive, so is her ability to convey concepts in a straightforward manner. Maxine helped me with my last A-level examinations. She is also really patient and empathetic. Maxine is always willing to answer my concerns and address any weaknesses where I am struggling. She does it in a way that is helpful and encouraging. Overall, I would give Maxine a five-star rating!
Maxine’s the best.
MSc in Zoology
I have worked as a tutor for various age groups, focusing predominantly on science. My experience extends to teaching in a professional educational setting. I have always maintained an inclusive learning environment serving students with various cognitive and socio-emotional needs.
My approach to tutoring A-Level Biology is rooted in patience, compassion, and varied guidance based on the needs of each pupil. I draw upon my extensive background in zoology research to relate academic concepts to real-world applications.
Levi is awesome, but we had a few scheduling mix-ups, which was inconvenient for me.
Levi has been a godsend for me. His depth of knowledge and teaching style has transformed my view on Biology. I’m not just passing exams, but genuinely loving the subject!
Levi's use of scientific models is fantastic. He is clearly passionate about biology, and it shows in his teaching. Levi is very dedicated to teaching. I always find him patient and calm. His teaching style is quite supportive and smooth. Very professional and supportive tutor for sure. His slides and other study materials are also included in learning. He was also willing to give me more time after lessons. I will continue learning biology with Levi.
MPhil in Evolutionary Biology
I'm your friendly, approachable, and slightly quirky A-levels Biology tutor. In my 4 years of teaching, I made sure I broke the norms and became someone with whom students could relate. By day, I'm teaching the young brains struggling with their Biology course. And by night, my love for Human Nutrition and Dietetics makes me experiment in the kitchen as an aspiring chef.
My teaching style? Think of it as a mix of a friendly chat with a mentor and a hands-on science experiment. Instead of droning lectures, I turn facts into tales, making each lesson feel more like an episode of a thrilling podcast. Imagine learning about DNA through a narrative that’s as fun as your favourite mystery novel. Next is my "Collaborative Problem-Solving Strategy." In our sessions, we are a team. We tackle challenging problems together, and we solve them as partners. It's not me handing down knowledge. It’s us discovering and learning side by side. Plus, I’m big on feedback. I've created a system, where my students and I keep a shared log of our sessions, our progress, and our goals.
Our sessions always feel prepared just for me. The tutor picks up on what I'm struggling with before I even realise it myself. A lifesaver! And Sienna’s way of covering the subject content is just perfect. I also like her exam prep tricks and A-level examiners insights. These are all the ingredients that made me get an A*.
Really good tutor, but sometimes hard to schedule sessions due to time differences.
Biology used to intimidate me, but Sienna’s clear and engaging style makes everything seem so simple. This tutor’s style is engaging and interactive. I’m thriving in my Biology class now!
