About Michael
I have taught all aspects of 11-18 science very successfully in secondary schools for 30 years, working as Head of Biology and Head of Science. I have enjoyed helping dozens of students as a one-to-one tutor in A-level Biology and IGCSE and GCSE sciences since 1987. In all that time, I have learned a lot about good teaching and good learning. I will tailor individualised support for you, whether you need a full rescue package, want a bit more confidence in exams or intend to sharpen your performance for your medical school applications.
- What kind of experience do you have?
I have taught all aspects of 11-18 Science very successfully in secondary schools for 28 years, working as Head of Biology and Head of Science.

In all that time, I have learned a lot about good teaching and good learning.

As an expert online science tutor, I will guide you in building up your understanding of science, so that you make your own sensible "story" rather than feeling you are carrying a collection of random, unrelated facts.
Exams don't have to be a trial. I will coach you in exam techniques so that you understand what a question is asking you to do, and can tackle it with real confidence. In our lessons, most of the talking should be yours: explaining something for yourself is a powerful and effective way to learn. I'm still surprised at how much laughter there is, too! Good tuition is good value for money. Every session with me is planned to bring a solid, identifiable gain in your performance.
I am a fully qualified Science teacher, with three decades of successful classroom experience. Helping students build their understanding of Science is my life's work.

- Describe your arrangements for online tutoring.
I have taught online since the beginning of 2013, giving 660 lessons to date.( I'll admit I was pleasantly surprised by how effective - and friendly - it can be.)
I use a well-known online platform, as well as Skype and Scribblar.
Please give me 24 hours notice of what you would like to cover, as good online learning needs particularly careful preparation.
I have developed a useful range of resources which I will tailor to your particular needs. Also, I have the online teaching experience to be pretty handy with resources, so when a lesson needs to change direction, we do it smoothly.
Please note my fee for online tuition is £45 per hour.
- Do you have a personal message for students?
As an expert tutor, I will guide you in building up your understanding of Science, so that you make your own sensible "story" rather than feeling you are carrying a collection of random, unrelated facts.
Exams don't have to be a trial. I will coach you in exam techniques so that you understand what a question is asking you to do, and can tackle it with real confidence.

Details
If the family cancel a lesson giving more than 24 hours notice, there will be no charge for that lesson.
If the family cancel a lesson giving less than 24 hours notice, the lesson will be charged at the full rate.
This notice period is needed so that the slot may be offered to someone on the waiting list.
I try to be understanding of exceptional circumstances, but in the case of repeated cancellation, I reserve the right to terminate my tuition services.
If I have to cancel a lesson then either the lesson will be rearranged for a mutually convenient time or that lesson will not be charged.
