About Katie
I’m a secondary and FE/A level Biology teacher with over a decade of classroom experience, but I also work behind the scenes as an active examiner for AQA, Pearson, and OCR. I came into teaching because I genuinely love science, but I stay because I love the moment a concept finally clicks for a student who was previously ready to give up on it.
Biology at GCSE and A-Level gets a bad reputation for being a mountain of endless facts to memorise. My goal as a tutor is to take away that overwhelm. I teach because I want to show students that doing well in science isn't about having a photographic memory - it's about understanding core systems, mastering the exam technique, and knowing how to think like an examiner. Seeing my students build confidence, overhaul their grades, and realise they are entirely capable of tackling complex subjects is the best part of what I do.

If you want top science grades, you need more than just passive reading and recap sessions. As a qualified secondary and A level Biology teacher - and an active examiner for AQA, Pearson, and OCR - I treat exam prep as a precise, systematic process. I don't just teach the syllabus, I break down exactly how mark schemes work and where marks are lost on exam day.
My approach is structured and analytical. We start by mapping out your exam specification to find out your areas for development, whether that's multi-mark application questions, practical skills, or tricky synoptic links. Every session focuses on exam technique, understanding mark schemes, and revision methods that actually build long-term retention. You'll also get a personalised tracker to monitor your progress across every topic week by week. It's a direct, strategic way of working designed to turn effort into solid results.
My lessons are designed for GCSE, A-Level, and IB students aged 14 to 19 who want to turn complex science into consistent top grades.
As a qualified secondary and FE Biology teacher with over a decade of experience - and an active examiner for AQA, Pearson, and OCR - I bring an analytical, systematic approach to every 60-minute online session. Rather than passive reading, we use evidence-backed methods like active recall and SQ3R to build long-term retention, mapped directly against your exam board specification.
We focus heavily on mark scheme decoding, command word analysis, and past-paper application so you know precisely what examiners are looking for, all backed by a personalised digital tracking sheet to monitor your progress week by week.
