About Skye
During my PhD in Biophysics I did as much teaching as I could, including 100 hours of reflective teaching as part of my Associate Fellowship of the Higher Education teaching qualification. I love the nitty-gritty complexities of the science of life. My university background includes Zoology (BSc), Molecular biology (MSc), and Biophysics (PhD) (even doing some particle physics!) and I am looking to use my multi-disciplinary experience to bring the bigger picture to the mind of a student if such inspiration is necessary. I am also an organised and systematic person, using past papers for optimum exam preparation. I am an active listener, have plenty of patience and empathy, am friendly and accessible. I aim for students to feel lighter and more self-confident after every session.

Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
Skye volunteered as an IB tutor on a programme supporting students from disadvantaged backgrounds with the this site Foundation. Skye provided high-quality tutorials, supporting a Year 13 student in the crucial months leading to final exams.
Skye's expert background in Biology, coupled with her extensive teaching experience in a university setting, allowed her to deliver engaging and useful lessons. She combined carefully selected visual resources with an interactive and engaging manner to allow the student to build his knowledge and confidence in the subject. Her focus on exam question preparation shows a sound understanding of the requirements of IB Biology.
On top of all this, Skye is a kind and approachable teacher with a great sense of humour, and the student had wonderful things to say of her and her support through this programme. I wholeheartedly recommend her as a tutor!I supervised Skye during her PhD studies at the University of Exeter. Skye had a keen interest in teaching throughout her PhD programme at the University of Exeter and took the time to complete teacher training to achieve an Advanced Certificate in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education gaining the University of Exeter ASPIRE Associate Fellowship certificate, and Associate Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy status, and 30 credits at NQF level 7. Skye has substantial research experience and this will inform her teaching. She is responsible and would be an effective and patient tutor.
