About Martin

I have always enjoyed teaching A level Biology and have helped to tutor students to improve their grades. Before teaching in a school, I worked in field centres teaching both Geography and Biology in Somerset and also in the Lake District teaching mainly the ecology part of the A level and also the statistics part of the A level Biology. I have also taught on undergraduate courses on ecology fieldwork mainly marine ecology and freshwater ecology. I also for a short time was the education manager for the Lake District National Park.
I have taught from primary through to undergraduate level. However, most of my time I have mainly taught A level students.

I have taught all aspects of the A level Biology and my aim is to make it as easy as possible for students to understand some of the complex parts of the A level.
I enjoy using a variety of different teaching methods to improve students understanding which includes making models, practical work, games and quizzes.
It is important to always start from first principles and gradually work up to the more complex ideas and concepts. Often with teaching large sets key concepts may be assumed and this is why one to one tuition is important.
The other major problem with A level Biology is sometimes not the knowledge but how to apply it to the questions. It is important that during a session or after a session an A level question is attempted. T
he focus will be on making sure that the questions are answered to the correct level of detail to maximise marks. Using terminology and learning what the examiner wants can the difference between an E grade and an A grade.
20% of the exam is numeracy and I have extensive knowledge of all aspects of the statistics and maths concepts.
