Experienced Chemistry and Biology tutor, A-Level, GCSE & Undergraduate
I’m Alexandra, a masters graduate, qualified teacher and owner of Van-Gelder tutoring agency, working with a number of tutors in the Manchester area.
I provide tutoring services covering GCSE and A-Level Chemistry and Biology, and have eight years' experience of doing so.
My tutoring style pushes students with a focus on moving outside of their comfort zone to have the greatest possible impact. I'm keen on setting weekly homework and push students to achieve the best grade they are capable of.
I prefer to keep in regular contact with parents/carers and provide a written summary of each session to keep parents/carers informed of students' progress and note any concerns or praise I may have.
My students receive an online tracker. Students use this tracker to log all work they do outside of lessons and tuition, which I check each night. Every 2 days parents also receive a phone to discuss the students progress both with workload and to discuss any concerns which may have arisen as a result of checking the student tracker.
Students and parents will also be invited to join Google Classroom. An online platform I use to set work for students to complete between sessions. Parents also have access to this platform if they wish to view the work being set for students after each session.
I am happy to travel to students or meet students in a public location. I am also more than happy for parents/carers to attend sessions with students if they wish to and would encourage them to do so.
If you require any more information please do not hesitate to get in touch by phone or email.
Rate - £50 per hour
Students are not charged for my time travelling, or for work I do for students outside of sessions. Homework is also marked outside of sessions.
