About Beverley
I am a Devon-based tutor that offers one-to-one tuition in chemistry and biology. I can teach in either the Exeter area or the Cullompton area.
After completing my honours degree in Biological Medicinal Chemistry, I remained at the University of Exeter to achieve a distinction in Bioinformatics (MSc) before progressing to a research-led PhD in ‘Systems Biology’ (a combination of cellular biology, biochemistry, molecular biology, microscopic & computer programming techniques). Here, I studied the secondary metabolite signature of the soil-friendly fungus ~Trichoderma hamatum~ in order to determine any biocontrol or plant growth promoting ability. In addition, I became an Associate of the HEA (Higher Education Authority) whilst at the University thus allowing me to teach at HE.
I am an experienced conference speaker and can offer valuable advice on how to construct and present PowerPoint presentations if required.

My tutoring approach will depend entirely on the student as determined by age and current ability.
I may follow a student-led approach to determine specific areas of focus or, alternatively, the student may prefer to chronologically work through the course.
In my opinion, it doesn’t matter if the student is starting afresh or just employing me to embellish their current learning - I know that any gaps in a student’s basic understanding will undermine their future potential! In order to achieve improved grades I assess the student’s current status, encourage self-critical evaluation and provide the necessary literature for the course.
I currently use Teams or Zoom for online teaching and have taught full time using this medium since March 2020.
As a previous Head of Chemistry in a small respected Private College, I find it very useful to adopt a flexible approach to tutoring.
More importantly, I use a whiteboard and vivid colours via video link because Chemical equations and images of subatomic structures are difficult to draw if using some software.

Bev has been tutoring my son for A level Biology and Chemistry and his marks, knowledge and confidence have massively improved since being taught by Bev. Bev is an amazing tutor with a wealth of experience and she is very kind and thorough in her approach. She has a great rapport and genuinely loves the subjects which shines through in her enthusiasm in tutor sessions. We are so lucky we found Bev as she has made such a difference to my sons grades and understanding and he has learned so much from Bev.
Bev has been a brilliant Chemistry A Level tutor for my daughter. She is very experienced, so knows how to explain things well and is so enthusiastic. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone.
Bev has been an incredible help for me; as a mature student undertaking A-Levels online, I have found the syllabus for both Biology and Chemistry rather difficult to learn by myself. Bev’s engaging, enjoyable (and most importantly very effective) lessons for both subjects have boosted my grades massively. She has a wealth of questions and notes to further learning whether the student is at school or learning online as I am. Bev has helped me obtain offers from prestigious veterinary schools across the country, I am forever grateful for her help!
Search no further- Bev is superb! Not only is she experienced and knowledgeable she has a gift in being able to inspire students and build confidence and self esteem. Bev has been tutoring my daughter for A level biology and has plugged the gaps in her knowledge to confidently go into her upcoming exams. Poppy has looked forward to her tutoring sessions and we will be forever grateful for Bevs dedication to helping her succeed. Thank you
Beverley is Brilliant, she has a road map, she knows what the student should know and by when. I trusted Beverley with my two aspiring medics, to teach chemistry and biology from year 10, all the way to A-LEVEL year 13. Beverley is my tutor of choice because she tests and gives feedback back on her tests. She is transparent and upfront about what needs to happen and what needs to be done to get your teen from A to B, or rather B to A :), thank you Beverley for your passion, your knowledge and above all your humanity. Highly recommend.
Bev was recommended to us by friends. The knowledge and passion she brings to every lesson is very impressive. Her drive and enthusiasm makes sessions engaging and effective. She covered all the syllabus topics with my daughter, but focused on the ones she found most difficult, helping her understand the more complicated concepts that my daughter hadn’t fully grasped at college.
I have employed many tutors for both my kids yet none of them have exceeded my standards like Bev has. My son hated chemistry and struggled to understand the syllabus however with her effective methods, she has made the difficult content learnable for him. I was once afraid that he wouldn't pass however these lessons allowed him to improve by three grades. For my daughter, she is currently taking her GCSE exams and we are confident that she will achieve a grade 9 because of Bev's dedication and approach that is much efficient than what her school usually does. Alongside her lessons, she does tell a few jokes that definitely engages the children and makes the lessons enjoyable. Her passion for tutoring is undeniable, Bev takes her time outside of lessons to answer their questions as well as mark their work; an incredible tutor like Bev is rare to find. If you are lucky enough to get a spot with her then don't hesitate to grab it. You will notice an immense change in your child's academics. Thank you for your patience and support!
