Katie Jackson-Biology, Chemistry & Physics

Highly Experienced A-level Biology & Science tutor (All 3 Sciences)
I am a fully qualified and highly experienced Science Teacher / tutor with specialism in Biology. I can teach all three science up to GCSEs and Biology up to A-level. Academically, I studied at the University of Manchester for my undergraduate degree in Biological Sciences and did a post-grad degree in digital communication. I also studied at Clitheroe grammar sixth form for my A-levels before continuing to Manchester University for my undergraduate degree. I am available to teach online via Teams or Zoom and have ample experience teaching online to pupils of varying abilities and backgrounds, I am happy to help any student studying for their GCSEs in any of the three sciences and A-level Biology. I am also available to teach Science to KS3 students as I have sound understanding of the entire National Curriculum. My lessons are best described as interactive, supportive, and transparent as I actively encourage my students to have a voice in the sessions, ask questions when they come up, and participate in all conversations regardless of their level of confidence. The sessions are specifically designed for each individual student considering the level they are currently working at, target grade, their areas for development and preferred learning style. I have a few years of tutoring experience and during these years, i have taught all major exam boards ie AQA, OCR, EDEXCEL etc. In addition to my subject expertise, I have extensive experience supporting children and young people with SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health) needs and SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities). This has given me a strong understanding of how to foster students’ confidence, resilience, and self-belief while also supporting their academic development. I find it reаlly rewаrding tо see а student reаch their gоаls аnd tаke pride in inspiring аnd cоntributing tо their аchievements. I look forward to hearing from you soon, and to having the opportunity of helping your son or daughter fulfil their own potential. I аspire tо deliver success fоr аll оf my students.
