Information about Paul
I am currently employed as a Senior Manager at a secondary school near Oxford. I begin each lesson by testing a learner`s knowledge and then I devise a response that will plug any gaps in their scientific skills and understanding.
Beyond work, my interests include natural history, local history and writing. Recently, I have had nine books published and I was awarded Chartered Fellowship of the Royal Society of Biology (CBiol, FRSB). In addition, I am also a Fellow of the College of Teachers (FCollT)and a European Professional Biologist (EurProBiol).

Availability: I currently have no tutoring slots available for the 2019/20 academic year.
Willing to travel: 8 miles
Experience: Between 1995 and 1998, I worked as Lecturer-in-Charge of `A` Level Biology and `A` Level Environmental Science at the Royal Forest of Dean College in Gloucestershire. During that same period, I was employed as a Marker for `A` Level Biology by the Associated Examining Board (AEB).
Between 1998 and 2000, I worked as a Housemaster at Bethany School in Kent where I shared pastoral responsibility for forty boys aged between 11 and 18 years. I also taught `A` Level Biology and both the Physics and Chemistry components of G.C.S.E. Double Award Science.
In 2000, I left England to take-up a position at the British School in the Netherlands. For the next three years, I taught `A` Level Biology and G.C.S.E. Physics (Higher Tier).
Between 2003 and 2012, I was employed by the Department for Education and seconded by them to work at the European School of Karlsruhe in Germany. I was appointed as the Head of Biology across the five language sections at the school in 2007.
Since 2012, I have been a full-time employee at a school near Abingdon in Oxfordshire. In 2018, I was promoted to the position of Director of Teaching and Learning.

Over the course of 2016/2017, Paul has been helping my daughter to gain a much needed A grade for her AQA level Biology papers. He has an engaging, dynamic and inspiring manner of teaching which helped to clarify certain topics for my daughter, and he always arrived with an assortment of props that he used to explain biological processes with an added visual prompt. He gave my daughter a wider perspective of the subject and provided her with a knowledge beyond the A level Biology syllabus - always helpful if you are searching those extra marks that could take a B grade up to an A. I would strongly recommend him.
