About Gemma
I am a qualified secondary science teacher with experience teaching KS3, GCSE (Biology, Chemistry and Physics) and A-Level Biology. I am also a former AQA GCSE Biology examiner, which gives me direct insight into how exam papers are marked and what examiners are looking for in high-scoring answers.
Throughout my teaching career, I have supported students of all abilities — from those needing confidence and foundations at KS3 to GCSE students aiming for Grades 5–9 and A-Level students preparing for university applications.
My experience as an examiner means I understand:
• How mark schemes are applied in real exams
• Why students lose marks (even when they “know the content”)
• How to structure extended answers effectively
• How to interpret command words accurately
• How to maximise marks under timed conditions
I believe science should feel clear and manageable, not overwhelming. I focus on breaking down complex ideas into simple, logical steps and building confidence through structured practice and constructive feedback.
Outside of tutoring, I am passionate about helping students develop independent revision skills and long-term study habits that go beyond memorising content.
My goal is not just to improve grades, but to help students feel calm, capable and in control of their learning.

GCSE & A-Level Science Tuition with Examiner Insight
I am a qualified secondary science teacher and a former AQA GCSE Biology examiner. This means I understand exactly how exam papers are marked and what examiners are looking for in high-level answers.
My lessons are structured, clear and focused on improving both understanding and exam performance.
Each session typically includes:
• Clear explanation of key scientific concepts
• Targeted practice questions based on exam board style
• Mark scheme breakdown and modelling of high-scoring answers
• Feedback on how to turn “almost right” answers into full marks
• Exam technique strategies for extended response questions
As an ex-examiner, I help students:
Understand how marks are actually awarded
Avoid common mistakes that lose easy marks
Structure 4- and 6-mark answers effectively
Interpret command words accurately
Improve timing and exam confidence
For KS3 students, I focus on building strong foundations and scientific thinking skills that prepare them for GCSE success.
For A-Level Biology students, I support deeper conceptual understanding and structured essay-style responses.
My aim is not just to revise content, but to build clarity, confidence and exam-ready skills.
