Struggling with tricky science topics? You’re not alone – and I can help! Hi, I’m Shariqa! I hold a BSc in Biology (First Class) from Queen Mary University and have recently started my PGCE in Secondary Science at UCL. I’ve been tutoring since 2019, specialising in Biology (KS3, GCSE, A-level), and I also teach Chemistry and Physics up to GCSE level. I know how it feels to hit a wall in science. During my own GCSEs, I struggled with complex Biology concepts until a teacher explained them in a way that finally clicked. That moment sparked my love for science and shapes the way I teach today. I just graduated with a BSc in Biology (First Class Honours), am completing a PGCE in Secondary Biology at UCL (2025), and hold an Access to HE Science Diploma (60 credits, all distinctions but one). Experienced and passionate about tutoring science.
