About David

I am a qualified, DBS checked, Science teacher working at a secondary school in Woking. Before teaching, I worked as a scientist with a PhD in Cancer Research from the University of Manchester, which I achieved in 2012. I then worked at Guy's hospital NHS Foundation Trust performing research into cardiovascular disease before inspecting pharmaceuticals for clients based all around the world.

Throughout my working life I have trained a variety of people with different skills including medical students, PhD students and scientists with PhDs and several years of research experience, amongst others. I then decided to take these skills and develop them further, becoming a full-time teacher.

In addition to my academic qualifications, I have also completed several courses to help aid my ability to teach. These include completing a Personal Development for Successful Learning (PDSL) course (2005-6) and being involved in the Manchester Gold Mentoring Scheme (2004-5) both at the University of Manchester.

My qualifications as a teacher and a scientist, as well as my ability to adapt my skills to a range of abilities, make me an ideal person to build on the knowledge being taught to pupils in schools.

About the lesson

The most important thing is to meet a student where they are at. The first thing I will do is spend time speaking to the pupil to find out what they are good at and what they need help on. I will work hard with the student to help build up their knowledge and confidence before focusing on exam technique.

I have been tutoring GCSE and A-level science for over a decade. I have been a classroom teacher for over 8 years. I hold a Master's degree and a PhD as well as qualified teacher status and a PGCE.

My lessons are for one hour at a time.

Some examples of previous successes:
AR (A-Level chemistry) - went from 37% in mock exams to 97% in mock exams over 12 months

EW (Year 9) - improved by 4 steps over the course of two half-terms. Achieved the highest mark in the year (270 students)

SS (Year 9) - improved by 4 steps over the course of three half-terms. Achieved the joint-second highest mark in the year (270 students)

OS (Year 9) - improved by 3 steps over the course of two half-terms. Achieved the joint-second highest mark in the year (270 students)

SG (Year 8) - moved up 4 classes over the course of four half-terms. Achieved scores in the top 10% of the year

EE (Year 9) - improved over 45% on average in 8 weeks. Achieved the highest mark of the year in multiple tests (116 students)
