About Dr Faez

I’m a biochemist with a DPhil (PhD) in Biochemistry from the University of Oxford and over 13 years’ experience tutoring school-level Biology. I studied at Shrewsbury School, then Imperial College London for my Bachelor’s degree, before completing my doctorate at Oxford, where my research was published in leading scientific journals.

This means I don’t just know the GCSE, A-level and IB specifications – I work with Biology and Biochemistry at a very high level and understand exactly how the school material builds into real-world science and university study.

As a tutor, I’m calm, organised and very student-focused. Over the years I’ve worked with:
● Students who were really struggling and just needed Biology to feel less overwhelming
● Motivated students aiming for 8–9 / A* and competitive courses such as Medicine, Biomedical Sciences and Natural Sciences

My students and their parents often comment on:
● "Clear, step-by-step explanations of tricky topics"
● "Patience and encouragement, especially when confidence is low"
● "Thorough preparation and tailored lesson plans"
● "Focus on exam technique as well as understanding"

Whether a student is trying to secure a solid pass or push into top grades, my aim is the same: deep understanding, sharp exam skills and genuine confidence in Biology.

About the lesson

Many students feel Biology is “just memorising pages of notes”. In my lessons we cut through that and make the subject simple, connected and exam-focused, so you truly understand it – and can turn that into marks.

1. Build real understanding (not just memorisation)

● Break each topic into a clear, logical story
● Use diagrams, analogies and step-by-step explanations
● Check understanding constantly with short questions and mini-recaps

Once the core ideas click, memorising details and tackling harder questions becomes much easier.

2. Master exam technique and mark schemes

● Practise decoding command words (describe, explain, evaluate, compare, etc.)
● Learn how examiners want answers structured and which key terms they’re looking for
● Work through past-paper questions (including data/graph questions) under realistic timing
● Review answers against the mark scheme so students see exactly where marks are gained or lost

3. A typical 90-minute lesson

● Quick check-in on homework / previous topic
● Teach or revise one focused topic in depth
● Apply it to exam-style questions
● Agree a short, targeted practice task for next time

4. Free first lesson – planning & diagnostics

In the free first session we:
● Discuss goals (target grades, exam boards, university plans)
● Look at recent schoolwork / mock papers
● Identify strengths, weak areas and any confidence issues
● Put together a clear plan up to the exam

I teach GCSE, A-level and IB Biology and have helped many students achieve strong grades and places on competitive courses such as Medicine, Biology, Biochemistry, Biomedical Sciences and Natural Sciences.

If you’d like Biology to finally make sense and to see that reflected in your grades – I’d be very happy to work with you!

Faez has been tutoring my daughter Ella in A-level Chemistry and Biology and has made a huge difference. She went from a C to an A in Chemistry and from a B to an A* in Biology.

He is extremely thorough and has a knack for explaining the trickiest topics in a clear, step-by-step way that finally ‘clicks’ for her. Her confidence has grown enormously and she now feels much more prepared for her exams.

Faez is punctual, well prepared for every lesson and very easy to communicate with. We have been extremely pleased with his tutoring and would highly recommend him to any student needing support in Chemistry or Biology

I know Faez as we're both doing biochemically-related PhDs at Oxford and also previously studied together at Imperial. He's not only super smart but also very lovely, friendly and kind. He'd make a great tutor!

Faez really helped me during my degree by tutoring me in Maths. He had a very good understanding of the topic and managed to explain complicated topics in an understandable way. I would definitely recommend him.
