Katy H

Hello, my name is Katy. I am a UK qualified science teacher (PGCE) with a degree in Biochemistry. I am a native English speaker but I am also fluent in Spanish. I have been teaching for 20 years in different schools in the UK and internationally, including Mexico, Cuba, Czech Republic and Spain. I have taught students who are native English speakers as well as students for whom English is their second or third language. I really enjoy helping students to understand science, make connections between different parts of the curriculum and to support them in their preparation for exams. I enjoy having fun in the lessons and making them as interactive as possible so that real learning occurs. I have always had very positive relationships with my students and believe that is is important to build up the confidence and self-esteem of the students. 

During my career I have taught the following:

• International Baccalaureate Biology (HL and SL) and Environmental Systems and Society (ESS)
• AS and A2 Biology
• National and International GCSE in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Coordinated Science and Combined Science.
• KS3 Science (ages 11-14)
• I am also able to tutor KS3 Maths
• I am also happy to offer tutoring for improving scientific/technical language use.
