Hello, I’m Ellie. I study biochemistry at the University of Oxford. I am 21 and am currently a second year since I took a gap year!

At A-Level I studied Chemistry (A*), Biology (A*), Maths (A*) and History (A*).

I have had a lot of experience teaching GCSE and A level for Biology, Chemistry and Maths and can provide references on request. Personally, I have always been a concept learner and I think that making sure my students understand the wider principles at work is really important for ensuring interest. I believe that a genuine interest then translates into an ability to answer questions and succeed. Regurgitating work is not going to stimulate genuine interest. I’m good at communicating and have had a variety of experience such as working at an all girls prep school in South Kensington, privately tutoring one-to-one, and even teaching English to male monks in Nepal! These experiences have all helped me to come up with original and successful teaching tools and lesson plans.
