Hi there, I’m Morven
​
Bio
I have always had a passion for the life sciences completing Biology, Chemistry and Physics at A-Levels before going on to pursue a degree in Biological Sciences. I have since completed a Masters of Research in Wildlife Conservation. Outside of tutoring my interests include golf, climbing and travelling.
I have been privately tutoring GCSE Science and Maths, as well as A-Level Biology and Chemistry since July 2021. I have experience with various exam boards and specifications. I understand that every student is different and can explain concepts in a variety of ways utilising different aides to help with understanding. I like to give regular updates to parents/guardians on the progress that each student is making and whether there is room for improvement.
