About Skye
During my PhD in Biophysics I did as much teaching as I could, including 100 hours of reflective teaching as part of my Associate Fellowship of the Higher Education teaching qualification. I love the nitty-gritty complexities of the science of life. My university background includes Zoology (BSc), Molecular biology (MSc), and Biophysics (PhD) (even doing some particle physics!) and I am looking to use my multi-disciplinary experience to bring the bigger picture to the mind of a student if such inspiration is necessary. University : - University of Aberdeen - BSc (Hons) Zoology [2:1] - University of Glasgow - MSc (taught) Infection Biology [Pass] - Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine - MSc (by research) Parasitology [Pass] - University of Exeter - PhD Biophysics [Pass]

I am an organised and systematic person, using past papers for optimum exam preparation. I am an active listener, have plenty of patience and empathy, am friendly and accessible. I aim for students to feel lighter and more self-confident after every session.
Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by the students of Skye.
Perfect! Skye was an amazing help during my year in Advanced Higher Biology! By organising weekly lessons and working through topics which I found most challenging, Skye helped me to understand these areas with significantly more depth. Thanks to her amazing tutoring, my grade rose from a fail to a strong passing mark which helped me to be accepted into one of Scotland's Top 10 universities. Skye is very compassionate and supportive during lessons. Her lessons and approach are also tailored to a Student's individual needs, as each session is set up to reflect and support a Student's unique pace and understanding of the topic. I would recommend lessons with Skye to anyone needing to boost their grade aswell as those who simply require some additional reassurance.
Perfect! Skye was an excellent tutor who helped our son with his Higher Biology.In our case Skye tutored face to face in the home although we had the option of Zoom.
From the start Skye ensured my son stayed focussed and engaged, helping him with the techniques to answering questions and generally giving him more confidence in his approach to exams. Skye was extremely supportive and fully invested in my son, giving critical feedback and marking passed papers in her own valuable time. This allowed us and my son, to see his improvements but then her advice and encouragement gave him much needed confidence to go forward into his exams.
Not only would I highly recommend Skye as an excellent tutor but she is also a lovely person.View more reviews

Skye volunteered as an IB tutor on a programme supporting students from disadvantaged backgrounds with the this site Foundation. Skye provided high-quality tutorials, supporting a Year 13 student in the crucial months leading to final exams.
Skye's expert background in Biology, coupled with her extensive teaching experience in a university setting, allowed her to deliver engaging and useful lessons. She combined carefully selected visual resources with an interactive and engaging manner to allow the student to build his knowledge and confidence in the subject. Her focus on exam question preparation shows a sound understanding of the requirements of IB Biology.
On top of all this, Skye is a kind and approachable teacher with a great sense of humour, and the student had wonderful things to say of her and her support through this programme. I wholeheartedly recommend her as a tutor!I supervised Skye during her PhD studies at the University of Exeter. Skye had a keen interest in teaching throughout her PhD programme at the University of Exeter and took the time to complete teacher training to achieve an Advanced Certificate in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education gaining the University of Exeter ASPIRE Associate Fellowship certificate, and Associate Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy status, and 30 credits at NQF level 7. Skye has substantial research experience and this will inform her teaching. She is responsible and would be an effective and patient tutor.
