About Larissa
Hi! I'm currently studying Medical Biosciences (Physiology) BSc at the University of Leicester, where I'm developing a strong understanding of biological and physiological sciences. My degree is part of my long-term goal of pursuing Graduate Entry Medicine, which reflects my continued passion for biology and the life sciences.
I previously studied A-Level Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, giving me first-hand experience of the challenges students face and the skills needed to succeed. I also have nearly two years of tutoring experience, having provided one-to-one GCSE Biology and Chemistry tuition at Caistor Grammar School, helping students improve both their understanding and confidence.
I specialise in OCR (Cambridge) A-Level Biology and AQA GCSE Biology, with a strong emphasis on mastering the specification, developing effective revision techniques, and building the exam skills needed to achieve top grades.
I aim to create a supportive and structured learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, tackling challenging topics, and developing the confidence to reach their full potential.

My lessons are designed for students studying OCR (Cambridge) A-Level Biology and AQA GCSE Biology.
I follow a structured, exam-focused teaching approach. Before attempting exam questions, I make sure students have a secure understanding of the specification content. I use active recall techniques such as targeted questioning, mini quizzes, and blurting to identify gaps in knowledge and reinforce key concepts. Once the content is secure, we move on to extensive past paper practice. Biology is a subject where exam technique is just as important as subject knowledge, so we will analyse mark schemes, focus on the precise terminology examiners are looking for, and learn how to structure answers to maximise marks.
Lessons are typically 60 minutes long, although longer sessions can be arranged during revision periods or in the lead-up to examinations.
I am currently studying Medical Biosciences (Physiology) BSc at the University of Leicester and have nearly two years of tutoring experience, having provided one-to-one GCSE Biology and Chemistry tuition at Caistor Grammar School. My experience has helped me develop a patient, supportive, and organised teaching style that encourages students to build confidence alongside their academic ability.
Whether you are preparing for GCSEs or aiming for a top grade in OCR A-Level Biology, my goal is to help you strengthen your understanding of the course, develop excellent exam technique, and achieve your full potential.

Larissa is knowledgeable, patient and been extremely helpful with my daughter to achieve her grades.
I was tutored by Larissa in Biology, and she was an amazing tutor who helped me build both my understanding and confidence in the subject. She has a very clear and patient teaching style, breaking down difficult concepts into simple explanations and making sure I fully understood each topic before moving on. I really appreciated how approachable and encouraging she was, as she always created a comfortable environment where I felt confident asking questions. During our sessions, she helped me improve my exam technique and develop a stronger grasp of Biology. I would highly recommend Larissa to any student looking for a supportive, knowledgeable, and dedicated tutor who genuinely cares about helping her students succeed.
