An Oxford Human Sciences graduate and College Scholar who has taught KS3 Science, William focuses on Biology up to A-level and prepares tailored resources for each student’s challenges.

William

William graduated from the University of Oxford in 2019 with a BA in Human Sciences, where he was a College Scholar. Its broad scope gave him a strong understanding of the biological sciences, from ecology and animal behaviour to genetics. At Mount Kelly in Devon he achieved A*s in Chemistry and Biology and an A in Maths at A-level.

William has tutored Biology and mentored students through the Oxbridge admissions process, particularly for subjects related to biology and the social sciences, and also prepares students for the ISEE, SSAT and SAT. He has taught KS3 Science in the classroom at The Academy School, Hampstead, and also works in music.

William starts by understanding each student’s goals, strengths and weaknesses, and encourages them to identify these themselves so they take ownership of their learning. Lessons are built around the exact syllabus and past exam material, and he adapts as new problem areas emerge. He believes students learn best when they are comfortable making mistakes and learning from them, and prepares tailored resources outside sessions.
