Debbie Landray, Science tutor
Science has always been my passion. As an undergraduate I studied Biological Sciences at York University. As well as my degree I have a Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) from Bath University, and a Masters degree in Education from Oxford University, both of which have greatly informed my teaching.
With over 20 years experience of teaching Science in a variety of school settings, I have taught pupils from Year 5 up to Year 13, with a range of abilities. I have seen the difference small group teaching can make to both pupil understanding and confidence. Outside the classroom, I have been an examiner for OCR which has given me a valuable insight into the way the examination process works.
My tuition sessions aim to be fun and interactive. I enjoy helping pupils prepare for examinations and working with pupils to identify which revision strategies best suit their style of learning. As examinations approach it is essential to go through past papers, to become familiar with the material, style of questions and to master the ability to answer questions concisely and accurately. The productivity of the time spent doing this, can be greatly improved by having a tutor to explain mistakes and to check understanding.
Aside from work I love the outdoors and spend as much time as possible with my family, playing tennis and walking. My husband and I have three grown up children and Rosie, the golden Labrador!
I hold an enhanced DBS certificate. Certificates and references are available on request.
