Richard Limb-Biology
PGCE Secondary Biology
I’m a fully qualified & highly experienced Science teacher with a specialism in Biology and have thorough subject and exam knowledge. I’m friendly, easy going and have had excellent results by building good relationships with my students.
I have a bachelors with honours degree (BSc Hons) in Biological Sciences and PGCE (Secondary Science) from University of Exeter. I have been teaching for 30 years, with 20 years on the international circuit, teaching KS3, IGCSE and AS/A2 Biology.
I TEACH IGCSE Biology up to A-level. My lessons focus on assisting with the development of ideas and arguments that can be applied with clarity to exam questions.
I am particularly adept at helping students with their analytical skills, enabling them to showcase convincing judgements to examiners as well as perfecting their exam structure.
I encourage engagement in my lessons and wish to provide a space where students feel comfortable to ask questions or say they are unsure. Through continual praise and encouragement, I am well suited to be able to help students that are anxious or cannot grasp areas of their subjects.
I provide a plan of action for going forward and keep parents consulted on their child’s progress. I am also happy to set homework questions to build upon the skills covered in the lessons and will mark and give feedback on any work completed.
The platforms I use to teach online are Zoom, Google meet and Microsoft teams depending on the student's preference.
The ability to experience each student’s progress at every stage is incredibly rewarding and a wonderful part of my role as a tutor.
I look forward to teaching your son / daughter!
