About Catherine
I’m an experienced and approachable online science tutor, here to help students feel confident and prepared for success. With over a decade in teaching, including time as Head of Science, I bring deep curriculum knowledge and a proven understanding of how to break down complex topics into clear, manageable steps. I am currently studying for a Master’s in Psychology and retraining as an Educational Psychologist, which gives me a strong understanding of how students learn best — and also means I have more time to dedicate to tutoring.

I’m a friendly and supportive online science tutor, passionate about helping students boost their grades and achieve exam success. My lessons are varied and engaging, blending retrieval practice, clear teaching, active information processing, and focused exam technique to help students approach questions with confidence and maximise marks. As a former Head of Science, I have extensive experience with curriculum design and delivery, and I know the content inside out. I tutor KS3 and GCSE Science (all disciplines) and A Level Biology, specialising in AQA and Edexcel specifications, but I’m happy to work with other exam boards too. I use Google Meet and Google Docs for all sessions, and every piece of work from each lesson is stored in a shared folder so both students and parents can easily track progress and revisit materials anytime.

Cath tutored me from February to June and took my grades from a 4 to pushing for a 6/7! She really helped me and I wouldn’t be expecting and hoping for the grades that I am without her
Cath is an excellent tutor, she explains the content in a way which is easy to understand, taking the time to further explain a concept if not understood and provided lots of tips on how to approach exam questions to gain full marks which helped a lot in exams.
Cath is an excellent teacher/tutor. She is knowledgeable, supportive and highly organised. Cath goes above and beyond for those that she is working, showing genuine dedication to helping them reach their full potential.
Cath prepares her tutees well and gives them key knowledge, exam technique, revision support, clear feedback, retrieval and more! I highly recommend Cath as do my daughters.My son has been learning with Cath for a few months Year 7 Science and his knowledge that he has gained has been remarkable. Cath was very good at explaining even the most complicated topics—like cells, forces, and energy—in a way that was clear and engaging. Lessons were always well-structured, and she uses real-life examples and experiments to make science fun and memorable.
What makes Cath stand out is her patience and encouragement. No question is too small, and she gave plenty of practical tips for remembering key concepts. Since starting lessons, my son has grown in confidence & is looking forward to putting what he has learnt to the test.
We are very grateful for Cath’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a friendly, knowledgeable, and inspiring science tutor.Catherine was recommended to me and she was a big help to my son who needed extra tutoring on the run up to his GCSEs. She went over all of the things that he wanted help with so the lessons where tailor made around his needs. I’d definitely recommend Cath and I’m sure I’ll be using her again when my younger children do their exams
Cath is an excellent teacher/tutor. She had a natural ability to engage students in her lessons. The lessons are clear and expectations are high. Students feel supported and valued having Cath as their tutor and her results are excellent. I highly recommend Cath.
Cath always shows professionalism and integrity when tutoring. She is reliable and gives detailed, targeted support to students. My sons benefitted hugely from her input and guidance.
Lessons and resources were adapted to meet their individual needs and gaps in knowledge and understanding.
Cath’s friendly and supportive approach provided a safe space for my sons to feel able to ask for help and clarification and built their confidence which we believe supported them to achieve their potential.See more recommendations
