About Isobel
Hi! My name is Isobel and I am an undergraduate Medicine student and part-time tutor based in York. I have always had an interest in the sciences and maths, but it wasn't always an easy ride for me! When studying for my Biology and Chemistry A-Levels, I quickly realised that a very different approach to learning was needed if I wanted to reach the top grades. Because of this, I spent extensive time researching into different learning strategies in order to help me study and remember information - it certainly paid off when I was offered a place at Medical school the following September!
My own learning journey has inspired me to share my learning strategies and academic knowledge with others as a tutor, something which I have been working as for the past three years. Over this time, I have refined my teaching skills in order to adapt to the student at hand - no two lessons are the same, and I appreciate that learning styles, interests and goals will differ between students. I take time to consider what your goals are and put in the effort to ensure that they are met - no matter your level. I teach a variety of age groups and levels (up to GCSE maths and science) so whether you are just starting out or ready to finish school, I can help you to pass those exams and get where you need to be.

I have worked as a professional online tutor for around three years alongside studying for a degree in Medicine, and spent time working as a voluntary tutor prior to that. During this time, I have had plenty of time and opportunity to refine my tutoring skills to a T!
Currently, I tutor for the following:
- Maths: Primary, KS3, GCSE
- Science: Primary, KS3
- GCSE Combined Science
- GCSE Chemistry
- GCSE Biology
Typically, I like to spend my first lesson with a student getting to know them - their likes and dislikes, their areas of weakness, and what their goals are within their subject. This usually gives me a good idea of how to structure upcoming lessons. Active recall is something which carries great weight in my lessons due to the extensive research showing it is the best way to learn long-term. As such, my lessons always begin with a short starter activity based on information taught in previous lessons - this way, the student is less likely to forget concepts. I will then move on to teaching the topic at hand, using a mixture of verbal descriptions, demonstrations on the screen and questions for the student. The student will then be asked to complete some simple questions created by myself, before attempting some exam questions.
Overall, this lesson plan takes one hour. This approach has proven to lead to great exam results in the past and students have reported to find this enjoyable and beneficial. However, I must note that this is only a template - I adjust each lesson slightly to fit the student at hand, so don't be put off if this isn't for you! Please get in touch if interested - I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Isobel supported my daughter with her studies for science and maths ahead of the 2025 GCSE period for around a year. My daughter felt completly at ease with Isobel, they build a great learning relationship and she felt that having Isobels support made a great difference. Isobel was also super flexible with availability that suited both sides. I would highly recommend Isobel. Thanks again x
Excellent Teacher! Isobel was very accommodating, kind and took her time to explain difficult Maths concept to my son. Isobel is super patient and tries very hard to find the best approach for the individual student. I would highly recommend her for Maths tutoring.
She helped me understand matrices on my engineering mathematics module at university by explaining it in a different way to the professor and helping me look at it from a different perspective.
Helped me with my GSCE maths revision, she goes through content thoroughly and at a pace that worked for me. Lovely and kind with a great attitude to help me learn.
Isobel was a great tutor to me when I did my GCSE Maths, I started off at a grade 3 and after a year of tutoring I got a grade 6 in my exam!! Thanks a ton!!!
Isobel really helped me with my chemistry revision. I struggled with understanding the more difficult aspects of organic chemistry and she was very clear and patient. A great tutor, thank you Isobel!
Isobel can work at any pace and can adapt to any style of learning. While helping me with my A level Chemistry, she used a range of different techniques to be able to effectively explain concepts and ideas
