About Me

Me

My name is Leslie and I am a fully qualified teacher practicing as a maths and science tutor, delivering one to one sessions online. I hold a B.Sc. degree in Zoology from London University, a Graduate Diploma in Pharmacology and a Masters in Pharmacology from the University of East London. I also carried out research for a Ph.D. at Swansea University on the ultrastructure and biochemistry of marine invertebrates.  I have taught at all levels from remedial maths to Master’s Degree and for twenty years I taught Physiology, Neural Science and Embryology at the European School of Osteopathy.

My mission

Parents have testified that I have a patient, understanding manner and am passionate about enabling my students to progress. I achieve this by assessing gaps in their learning and by developing their understanding of core concepts, thus bridging these gaps.

 

I have a thorough understanding of the syllabus and question types in the new GCSE and A-level syllabi and have a wide range of resources, such as past papers and worked answers in Maths, Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Practice in answering these questions boosts the student’s confidence, motivating them to fulfil their potential.

 

Ultimately, this confidence helps the student to develop a desire for learning, so that they enjoy the process of acquiring knowledge and obtain good grades in GCSE and/or A-level. This helps them to secure a place in the sixth form in their school of choice, or a place at a top university.

My Vision

I aim to personalise every session to meet the needs of the individual student and focus on areas in which the student has the potential to improve.

 

Each session is flexible and designed to work with the student to not only complete their immediate tasks, but guide them from novice to professional.

 

As far as possible, each session is lead by the student so that their unique needs are fulfilled.
