My Tutoring Methods:

When tutoring, I like to work from all the latest online resources, including

• interactive experiments, 
• science videos, 
• online talks,
• websites from Royal Society of Chemistry etc.,
• videos of experiments from the particular course etc. 
• and even topical science news items which are also listed on my Twitter Feed

Many of these resources are listed on this website. I also make full use of Past Papers and will set appropriate homework if requested.

The links listed here will help you by listing online videos, animations and interactive learning materials for each of the Scottish Chemistry and Biology examinations at National 5, Int 2, Higher Grade, and Advanced Higher.  The links are relevant and more importantly, you will hopefully find them interesting ! 

Good Luck with your Biology and Chemistry courses this year. I hope you enjoy them and find them useful and interesting.
