About Alistair
Hello, I'm Alistair. I am an enthusiastic 27 year old with a doctorate in Biochemistry from University College London. I can provide quality tutoring in the sciences. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with any questions you may have!
Originally from Yorkshire, I worked hard to obtain top GCSE/A-Levels from a local comprehensive school. From there I went on to study a BSc in Molecular Cell Biology at University of York, in which I obtained a first class honours degree. After a period working as a researcher in the pharmaceutical industry, I won a scholarship to study for a PhD in medical research at University College London. My research investigated the mechanisms behind specific liver and lung diseases. During this time I published in several peer-reviewed journals.
Throughout my scientific career I have had experience teaching and tutoring students of all ages and backgrounds. This has developed my ability to communicate effectively, remain patient and offer creative and individual solutions to problems. My teaching style promotes independent thinking of the student, such that they not only remember the material, but are able to apply their knowledge and understanding to different problems and scenarios.
I am incredibly passionate about scientific research and science education and look forward to being able to help foster learning of the next generation from primary school through to University students.

Alistair is an incredibly capable teacher, who is able to readily adapt his style according to the needs of the student. His unique approach and thorough manner mean that he accomplishes the goals of the lesson, whilst maintaining a fun and collaborative teaching environment. Alistair is particularly adept at taking complex concepts and explaining them in a clear and memorable way. I would highly recommend Alistair as a tutor, particularly for scientific subjects, in which he has very strong experience.
I have worked alongside Alistair for the last 5 years and can honestly say he is a great teacher. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable but he is fantastic at explaining difficult concepts to students. He forms a great relationship with his students and you can tell that they immediately feel comfortable asking any questions they have. He is patient and helps to build confidence, especially in the build up to exams. Finally he is incredibly passionate both about biology and chemistry but also about teaching in general! Couldn't recommend enough.
