I am a specialist A-level biology teacher at an FE College in Swansea where I have taught A-Level biology for 12 years. Prior to my current teaching post, I taught biology for 3 years at an FE college in Bridgend. The examination boards I have experience with are the: WJEC, Eduqas, AQA, OCR and the IB.  I’m, also, an examiner for Edexcel and WJEC.  I’ve been providing private biology tuition for 15 years.   

I’m a graduate of Kings College London with a degree in immunology. At Newcastle University I spent three years researching the molecular pharmacology of platinum anti-cancer drugs. I gained my PGCE teaching qualification from the University Of Wales, Newport.  

Before going to university I worked in an NHS haematology laboratory as a medical laboratory technician and phlebotomist.  I have industrial microbiology and chemistry experience working for L’Oreal (yes I am worth it!) and Sunjuice Ltd.  

I’ve been a member of the Royal Society Of Biology for 20 years and earned my Chartered Biologist status in 2004.  I am also a member of the Chartered College of Teaching.
