About Michaela
Hello! I'm Michaela, a PhD scientist with a passion for making science engaging, accessible and enjoyable.
Over the past eight years, I've taught more than 100 students and delivered over 3,500 hours of personalised tuition, supporting learners from GCSE through to university level. Alongside tutoring, I've built my career in biomedical research, spending several years researching brain cancer at the University of Manchester. Working at the forefront of scientific discovery has given me a deep understanding of biology and chemistry that I love bringing into my lessons.
Tutoring has always been far more than a job to me. I believe every student is capable of succeeding when they're taught in a way that works for them. My goal is to help students build confidence, develop genuine understanding and discover that science doesn't have to be intimidating—it can actually be fascinating.
I know that every learner is different, which is why I take the time to understand each student's strengths, challenges and ambitions. Whether you're aiming to pass your exams, achieve top grades, prepare for university or simply feel more confident in class, I'll support you every step of the way with patience, encouragement and a personalised approach.
I'm particularly passionate about making STEM accessible to everyone. Throughout my research career I've worked alongside clinicians, researchers and healthcare professionals to tackle some of the biggest challenges in medicine, and I love showing students how the science they learn in school connects to the real world. My hope is not only to help students achieve fantastic results, but also to inspire curiosity, resilience and a lifelong appreciation for science.
Outside of tutoring, I enjoy creating new revision resources, keeping up with the latest scientific discoveries and finding fresh ways to make even the most challenging topics easier to understand. There's nothing more rewarding than seeing a student's confidence grow and watching that moment when everything finally clicks.

Whether you're applying to university, preparing for interviews, writing a dissertation or navigating the challenges of a bioscience degree, I'm here to provide personalised, one-to-one academic support tailored to your individual goals.
Every session is designed around you. Together, we'll identify your priorities and create a structured plan to help you make meaningful progress, whether that's securing a place on your dream course, improving your academic writing or building confidence with complex scientific concepts.
I offer support with:
• University applications
• UCAS personal statements
• Interview preparation
• Undergraduate bioscience tuition
• Dissertation and thesis planning
• Literature reviews
• Scientific writing and referencing
• Critical analysis of research papers
• Data interpretation and presentation
• Exam and revision support for bioscience modules
Rather than simply giving answers, my approach focuses on developing the academic skills you'll use throughout your degree and future career. I'll help you strengthen your scientific thinking, improve your confidence, refine your writing and learn how to approach problems independently.
Drawing on my experience as a PhD scientist and biomedical researcher, I bring real insight into academic research, helping bridge the gap between university learning and cutting-edge science. My aim is to create a friendly, supportive environment where you feel comfortable asking questions, exploring ideas and achieving your full academic potential.

Michaela was my science tutor for GCSE. She is king and understanding and taught me in a way which allowed me to understand topics which I found tricky at school.
With her help I feel confident. She breaks down topics really well and is always patient with me
