30 years’ experience teaching exclusively A level Biology

“Tom made a big difference to my results and my Biology, and I hope he has the chance to do the same for many more”
Success in A-Level Biology requires a level of precision that goes beyond standard classroom learning
I provide specialist tutoring designed for students aiming for top-tier results. My approach focuses on the nuances of the current specifications, and the specific 'hidden' requirements of mark schemes that often trip up bright students.
With a proven track record and a professional, reliable service, I provide the expert guidance necessary for your child to excel in their exams and achieve their full potential.

“Tom has been an exceptional tutor who has supported my daughter in her application to study Medicine. He has been excellent in explaining content whilst maintaining a clear focus on the requirements of the exam board. As a teacher myself, I really appreciate Tom’s level of professionalism. He has always been friendly and reliable.”
“Tom helped me so much when it came to understanding the true depth to biology as a subject . He is a very supportive and kind teacher who helped me to not only gain knowledge , but also enjoy studying biology.”
“My eldest daughter has just started medicine. Tom helped her improve from a D to an A grade literally within months! So glad I found him.”
“Tom is easy-going and fun, and under pressure, can explain half a term’s worth of topics in an hour. Online tutoring is the future and his use of a drawing tablet makes it seem as though he were a seat away from you. If it wasn’t clear from this ringing endorsement, Tom made a big difference to my results and my Biology, and I hope he has the chance to do the same for many more.”
“The focus the sessions have on understanding biological concepts and how to correctly answer past paper questions has really helped me. Through actively attending the group tutoring sessions my Biology grades are quickly improving from Cs to As. ”
“Tom is an amazing Biology tutor and is the best teacher I have ever had. He explains topics in detail and always sends relevant revision material before the lesson which helps a lot. Tom has helped me discover the depths in Biology, and I really enjoy his lessons as he covers topics at a really good pace as well as explaining everything properly.”
“Tom was crucial in my A-Level campaign, He has an incredible knowledge of the course. Unlike many other tutors, he supplies extra resources, which have a huge impact on your learning. I have greatly benefited from Tom and highly recommend him.”

Tom has been brilliant with my son and has really helped him with his understanding of the A level course. He is excellent at explaining things and builds knowledge around topics so my son has a greater understanding of the concept. He has lots of additional resources too, which my son has found really useful.
Tom also videos the sessions which are then available to view afterwards. My son is dyslexic and so prefers revising from videos and visual material rather than books and so has found this invaluable as he prepares for his exams. The videos are all clearly labelled with the topics they covered so he could go back and use them again and again,
And from a parent perspective, Tom is incredibly organised with the sessions which makes life easier. Dates are booked in in advance, links and reminders are sent automatically and he invoices at the end of the month which saves you from having to remember to pay in advance each week.
Would really recommend Tom to anyone who needs help with biology A level. My son has made a huge amount of progress and has grown in confidence over the sessions which has made an impact on his grades.”
