  Experienced Biology teacher and tutor in AQA and Edexcel GCSE and AQA Biology A-level courses. I typically work on 6-week cycles of: diagnosis of key areas for improvement (content knowledge and skills); development of areas where significant gains can be made and testing to ascertain progress made and identify further areas for improvement. This is supplemented by revision guidance and preparatory and consolidation assignments which are reviewed within tutoring sessions.
