About Shannon
Hi, I'm Shannon, a qualified science teacher with a passion for helping students unlock their potential in Biology and Chemistry.
My journey into education began with my love of science. I studied Biomedical Science at St George's, University of London, before completing a Master's degree in Global Public Health Nutrition at the University of Westminster. I also worked in both NHS and private medical laboratories, gaining first-hand experience of how biology and chemistry are applied in healthcare. I later achieved Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and a PGCE in Secondary Education, allowing me to combine my scientific knowledge with effective teaching practice.
I've taught in a variety of settings both in the UK and internationally. Most recently, I completed my teacher training while teaching science in a challenging secondary school in South London, supporting students with a wide range of abilities and learning needs. Before that, I taught English in Taiwan and completed a TESOL teaching programme in Indonesia. These experiences helped me develop a flexible, student-centred teaching style that adapts to each learner.
I believe every student can succeed when they're taught in a way that works for them. My aim is to build confidence alongside subject knowledge, helping students understand scientific concepts rather than simply memorising facts. Whether you're aiming to improve your grades, achieve top marks, or prepare for university, I'll tailor lessons to help you reach your goals.
Outside of teaching, I enjoy keeping active at the gym, learning languages, and reading about science, business and personal development. I believe learning should be engaging, rewarding and a lifelong pursuit.

My lessons are designed to help students develop a deep understanding of GCSE Biology while building the confidence needed to succeed in exams.
Every lesson is tailored to the student's individual needs, learning style and exam board (AQA, OCR, Edexcel and others). We'll identify areas for improvement before working through topics using clear explanations, diagrams, real-life examples and exam-style questions to strengthen understanding.
Alongside mastering the content, we'll focus on exam technique, including interpreting command words, applying knowledge to new scenarios and understanding what examiners are looking for. I also teach effective revision and memory techniques to help students retain key concepts and recall information with confidence.
Whether you're aiming to secure a pass, achieve a Grade 9 or prepare for A-Level Biology, my lessons provide a supportive, structured and engaging environment to help you reach your full potential.
