About Heather
I am a Cambridge University graduate, with experience in teaching both GCSE and A-level Biology and Mathematics, and providing advice for Oxbridge applications and interviews. I graduated from Cambridge University in June 2019 with a BA (Hons) degree in Biological Natural Sciences, and am currently studying for an MSc in Environmental Economics and Policy (Environmental Technology) at Imperial College London.
Before starting at university, I took a year out where I tutored Mathematics and Biology at GCSE level and below in my local secondary schools (with the company YipiYap). This experience was formative in my ability to adapt to each individual’s way of learning; stretching and engaging the most able students aiming to get A*s/9s, and regaining the confidence of those struggling to understand basic Year 7 Maths. I believe there is great importance in every student being able to succeed in education, which in a busy classroom environment is not always possible.
In my Natural Sciences degree, I covered cellular biology, statistics, earth sciences, plant sciences, and finally specialised in ecology. Within ecology, I am particularly interested in conservation science; which is what has led me to my current masters, looking at the policy and economics of environmental management. My degree expertise, alongside my achievement of 100% UMS at Geography A-level, mean I would be very excited to tutor Geography where I can offer novel case studies and critical thinking.
Having recently gone through the education system, I achieved 11 A*s at GCSE, three A*s at A-Level in Chemistry, Biology and Geography, and A’s in both AS Mathematics and History. This experience has allowed me to understand what is required to maximise your potential, and how to do this effectively. I have a strong grasp of understanding course specifications, guidelines, and how to successfully prepare for exams and perform on the day.
I can also offer Oxbridge/Russell Group admissions advice, for both written applications and interviews. I successfully applied to two of the most prestigious universities worldwide, and spent this summer helping international students at a Cambridge Summer School to write their personal statements for university application. I can offer targeted advice for Natural Sciences (Cambridge), Geography (Cambridge, Durham, Bristol) and the prestigious Arts and Sciences degrees (UCL and Birmingham) - all of which I applied and gained offers for.
I tutor primarily in the evening and at weekends, but can occasionally be flexible depending on my timetable. I am happy to tutor at your home or on Skype. I will always set a plan for what we will cover in each session, am adaptable in my methods to suit each student’s needs, and provide notes if these would be useful. Please feel free to get in contact to arrange a session, or for any further information. Thank you for your consideration.

Heather was our first Hull based Tutor and was with us for the 2016 / 2017 academic year. She provided In-School Tutoring in Maths and Science.
She is academically gifted and has a sparkling personality; a brilliant Ambassador for the Yipiyap brand!I was Heather’s director of Studies at the University of Cambridge for two years whilst she studied for her Natural Sciences degree. Heather was an excellent student and an absolute pleasure to teach. She is extremely hard working and is always eager to thoroughly understand each topic. Heather responds very well to advice and criticism and she has a mature and measured writing style. Heather’s teachers across each of her subjects throughout the 3 years of her course have described her as intelligent, enthusiastic, diligent and an asset to her classes. Heather is cheery, outgoing and personable and is a popular and active member of college, particularly in her role as JCR outreach officer. Heather is also very considerate to others and is popular with her peers. Heather is polite and well-spoken and gives very good, clear and confident presentations on difficult topics. Heather is very punctual and has never missed a deadline. She is meticulous and methodical in her approach to work and was one of the most organised students in her year. Heather is extremely good at explaining difficult scientific concepts in an accessible yet accurate way and her love for science is apparent in her work. She is patient and caring and I believe that she would make an excellent tutor.
