Biology with Danyal Akhtar

 Lesson Details

Learning about life on earth, with its great diversity and variation, yet at the same time with many shared patterns and processes between all living forms, is a strong interest of mine. As someone who completed his A-level in Biology only a few years ago, I understand that it is a very challenging subject. For a STEM subject it is incredibly content heavy, and answering exam questions successfully requires skill in using specific terminology and wording alongside having the knowledge. Therefore, my general process to tutoring Biology is a two step process, starting with making sure my students have comprehensive understanding of the content, before moving on to practicing exam questions to help you get used to the ‘exam style’ of talking about Biology. But at the same time, I always aim to make my teaching engaging, sharing my love for the mechanisms of life that make the world around and within us all the time. Please contact me if you have any questions!

 My Experience:

My journey as a tutor began in 2021, working in particular with students whose education had been heavily affected by the pandemic. In this time I have developed a passion for sharing knowledge, helping students whose shoes I was in just a few years ago. I am also well adapted to tutoring remotely; despite being behind a screen, I always strive to create good personal connections with students, which allows them to get the most out of my teaching.

I always design my lesson plans to be varied; they include teaching syllabus content, to quizzes and other short activities, to essay feedback sessions, to practicing exam questions together- all tailored to each individual student's needs. Communicating with both the student and parents in order to figure out what each child needs is very important to me.

When starting my A levels back in 2018, I was not considering Oxbridge, or even going to university at all. But with persistent encouragement and reassurance from my history teacher, I found the confidence to apply. In essence, self-confidence is the key, and I endeavour to be the kind of tutor who motivates and inspires their students to believe in their abilities. Whilst students will all embark on different paths in their future, all of them share the fact that they need the confidence to find it- this is one of the chief roles of any educator. I want to use tutoring to help each student find their own potential, wherever it may lead them.

I look forward to working with you!
