My Teaching Philosophy

As a former Science Teacher and Director of EPQ at North London Collegiate School (2021-2024), with previous experience as a Biology Teacher at St Helen's School (2017-2021) and as a content writer for BBC Bitesize, I've developed a teaching approach that combines academic rigour with personalised support. I'm passionate about making science accessible and engaging for all students, regardless of their starting point.

At The Study Hive, we focus on building strong foundations in scientific concepts whilst developing critical thinking skills that extend beyond exam success. Our goal is to inspire a lifelong love of learning and scientific enquiry in every student.

I take pride in helping students not just understand the curriculum, but excel in their examinations through strategic preparation, practice, and personalised feedback tailored to each exam board's specific requirements.
