About Izzy
I’m a motivated, approachable and experienced professional tutor and graduate medical student at Bart's and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry. I have previously completed a Masters degree in Immunology of Infectious Disease at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, after graduating from Durham University with a first-class honors degree in Biomedical Science in 2017. My professional experience includes medical writing in the medical education sector, helping to produce educational materials on cutting-edge medical research for healthcare professionals internationally.
I have always loved to learn new things and problem-solve, and since beginning tutoring, bolstering my students against the toughest aspects of their studies in order to rediscover and develop their own intrigue in the classroom. Of particular importance to me is building my students' confidence, their ability to independently explore their subject and find ways to be self-aware in their learning and achievement, to find the best way for them to succeed and feel positively about their accomplishments.
I have 8 years of tutoring experience, and have taught a range of subjects including Biology, Psychology and English, at both GCSE and A-Level while studying for my degrees. This has been through lessons given face-to-face and via an online classroom and includes one-off booster sessions, short term tuition to help my students catch up or crack a particularly difficult subject, or year-round tuition to support my student through the academic year.
Additionally, over the course of 6 months, I volunteered as a teaching assistant at a primary school, helping with independent work, reading practice, and I even had the opportunity to lead a biology class! This, and my work as a workshop leader for a STEM experience day hosted for gifted and talented children interested in science, technology and maths, has honed my ability to deliver lessons to a variety of students for the purpose of enhancing formal education and for driving fun and curiously through new experiences.

About the lesson
- All Levels

All languages in which the lesson is available :
English
My teaching style is flexible and is built around the individual learning needs of each student, which we explore in an initial trial lesson. I encourage a multi-faceted approach to learning any subject, and help my students also develop independent study skills they can take forward with them in their future learning.
Biology lessons focus around revisiting content in class, exploring different resources, encouraging independent study techniques, and exam preparation.
I work using an exposure-exploration-rehearsal-application model.
1. Exposure aims to familiarise students with broader concepts and vocabulary.
2. Exploration works to read into the subject in more depth and understand biological processes and principles.
3. Rehearsal involves revisiting the content in the form of questions, discussions, and recap where needed. We also discuss approaches to independent revision.
4. Application then works by students practicing exam questions and creating model answers.

Perfect! Izzy has been doing Online Biology Tutor sessions with my son in advance of his GCSEs this year. Izzy has been excellent with planning for his lessons and she really engages with what he needs to focus on. He tells me she is really helping him feel more confident in the subject and her support has been excellent
Perfect! Izzy is a breath of fresh air as a tutor
We found Izzy to originally tutor English Lit GCSE, however her calm style and exam tips helped my daughter organise her revision for all her GCSE subjects - would highly recommend

We have had many tutors over the years and Isobel was by far and away the best. She is personable, organised, engaging, patient and able to explain difficult concepts in a clear and accessible fashion. Isobel was also extremely proactive in providing additional materials that would help consolidate what had been learnt or extend it. I have no hesitation in recommending Isobel.
Isobel has been tutoring our son with A level biology and has always been reliable. She is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about her subject and has proved a great motivator.
