Biology is about the stuff of life – complex chemistry in action. A system not only existing but reacting to its environment. I find it endlessly fascinating, but I understand when students get stuck in their studies.
Maybe you’re finding that the study of cardiovascular and digestive systems are a sticking point. One-to-one coaching can break down the topics that you find hardest, so that we can find the key that works for you – to understand the topic, to know what to expect in exams and ways to demonstrate your knowledge. I can help you build your understanding and enthusiasm for the subject.
Detangling the intricacies of life
By its very nature, life is complicated. But it doesn’t need to stay that way! Piece by piece we can work together to figure out how the vast puzzle of living things fit together into the complex mosaic of biology. From learning about cells, the very building blocks of life, to how they organise into tissues, then organs, and finally to the organisms we encounter on a daily basis.
That journey, from cells to the kind of life we are more used to seeing, comes with many challenging topics. One example is cellular biology, where biology and chemistry begin to overlap. As ever, science is built on patterns: by recognising the patterns behind the biology, we can work on improving your understanding.
Exam prep
As part of coaching, we will cover extensive exam technique, getting you up to speed: exactly how the questions are asked, how the answers are worded and what’s expected. we’ll work on your foundation built in school, and broaden your understanding. This will help you to effectively answer exam questions while gaining a greater appreciation for biology as a whole.
