About William

I am a fully qualified (QTS) Science teacher with over 4 years' experience teaching GCSE Science and A-Level Biology. I have a BSc in Biomedical Science and a PGCE in Biology, and I am DBS checked.

I became a teacher because I was tired of watching capable students conclude they were "just not a science person" when the real problem was that nobody had shown them how the subject and its exams actually work. I have taught students who were told to concentrate harder without anyone explaining how, including students with ADHD, and I build lessons around focus, memory and manageable steps rather than willpower.

My approach is friendly, supportive and results-driven. I want students to feel comfortable admitting what they do not understand, because that is the only place real progress starts. I have worked with a wide range of abilities, from students aiming simply to pass to those pushing for the very top grades, and I am equally happy with both.

Outside of subject content I also teach revision technique and exam strategy explicitly, since these are the skills that carry students through every subject rather than just mine.

I am a QTS qualified Science teacher with over 4 years' experience teaching GCSE Combined and Triple Science across Biology, Chemistry and Physics, as well as A-Level Biology. I hold a BSc in Biomedical Science and a PGCE in Biology, and I am DBS checked.

Because I am still teaching in a secondary school every day, my lessons are built around what actually gains and loses marks in the current specifications. In my experience most students do not have a knowledge problem. They understand the content in class and then lose marks in the exam through misread command words, unstructured six-mark answers, missing units, and required practicals they only half remember. Those are the things we work on directly.

A typical session starts by diagnosing exactly where marks are being dropped, then moves into targeted past paper questions with model answers, clear explanations of the underlying concepts, and the specific habits that stop marks leaking away. Every session is planned around the individual student's weakest areas rather than marching through the whole syllabus.

I also work well with students who find focus difficult, including students with ADHD. I build lessons around short, manageable steps with clear structure and visible progress, which improves both confidence and retention.

Lessons are 60 minutes and suit students in Years 9 to 13 working towards AQA, Edexcel or OCR specifications, whether they are aiming to secure a pass or push for the top grades.
