BIO

I’m a highly experienced Science teacher/ tutor. I have excellent knowledge in the subject. I graduated from The University of Westminster with a BSc (hons) in Human & Medical Science. I specialise in Biology & Chemistry at GCSE & A-level. I’m friendly, easy going and get excellent results through building good relationships with my students.

I hаve а trаck recоrd оf success аnd delivering results thrоugh privаte tutоring аnd аt clаssrооm level. I hаve significаnt, lоng-term experience аt levels frоm KS3, GCSE & A-LEVEL. I hаve enаbled students tо mаximise their оutcоmes аt аll оf these аssessment levels.

The sessions I run are specifically designed for each individual student. This considers the level they are currently working at, target grade, their areas for development and preferred learning style.

At GCSE and A level I build into each session past exam questions using the techniques learnt in the lesson. I teach all exam boards.

I am happy to set homework questions to build upon the skills covered and will mark and give feedback on any work completed. In addition, I provide a plan of work to be covered for the term/ year after consulting with students and parents.

Other Skills

• ELISA, Western Blotting, DNA isolation and Gel Electrophoresis, PCR amplification, cell culture and cell count, RNA isolation, cDNA synthesis and many more.

• Analysing and interpreting raw data from experiments.

• Experience in presenting work at university and employment, explaining complex concepts such as mechanisms of action of drugs. • Communicating effectively with people at work, providing with the answers to their questions and helping to the best of ability.

• Fluent in 3 languages: English, Urdu and Punjabi

• Successfully meeting deadlines by effectively prioritising and organising workload.

• MS Word, Excel, Outlook and PowerPoint skills

• Additional training: Adverse events and Product Quality Complaints, Inspection Readiness, cGMP essentials, Microbiology fundamentals and 5S. To contribute to the design of experiments by planning and writing study plans. To get trained and competent in the use of a range of specialized laboratory equipment and follow written procedures such as standard operating procedures (SOPs) and study plans.

• To plan and execute the verification of new laboratory equipment and record and report the results accurately.

• To maintain accurate and up to date records of all experimental work as well as record and investigate any deviations from expected results or documented procedures.

• To review and analyse experimental results by using appropriate computer software and identify any variations, trends or outliers in data sets.

• To create standard operating procedures for new laboratory equipment.

• To maintain, review and update standard operating procedures for laboratory equipment.

• To communicate information clearly and logically to provide updates on project by use presentation skills.

• To assist in the maintenance of laboratory resources by cleaning, calibrating and maintaining equipment as required by procedure.

• To plan own working day to ensure completion of tasks within agreed deadlines and maintaining a personal training folder to ensure that training is appropriately documented.

Being forced to work at home during lockdown meant a change in my working practices. I have had the opportunity to develop my online teaching at KS3, GCSE and A level with positive feedback from my students and their parents. I can use a variety of learning platforms through which to teach the lesson, making the most of technology to model any of the topics being studied. I would be in the position to support students seeking to apply and sit Oxford entrance exams for these subject.

I find it reаlly rewаrding tо see а student reаch their gоаls аnd tаke pride in inspiring аnd cоntributing tо their аchievements. I аspire tо deliver success fоr аll оf my students.
