No reviews yet

Hi, I’m Robert, a Pharmaceutical Engineer with six years of experience in the industry and a degree in Industrial Biochemistry from the University of Limerick. I have always been passionate about biology, having achieved the top grade in my Leaving Cert Biology, where I ranked first in my school.

I want to teach because I genuinely believe that understanding biology opens doors to amazing opportunities—not just in exams but also in life beyond school, whether it’s at university or in a professional career. Having mentored and taught others in my industry, I’ve seen how the right guidance can build confidence, unlock potential, and lead to success.

My goal is to help students master biology in a way that feels engaging and relevant. I’m here to guide you through the subject with real-world insights, practical techniques, and personalized support, ensuring that you not only succeed in exams but also develop a passion for the subject that will stay with you long-term.

My Approach to Tutoring and How I Teach My Classes:

Teaching Techniques and Methodology:

My teaching style is rooted in active learning and a conversational flow between student and tutor. I focus on using active recall, encouraging students to explain the concepts we’ve just covered in their own words. This helps solidify their understanding and highlights areas that may need revisiting. I utilize modern, peer-reviewed research-based methods proven to dramatically enhance students’ success in exams, ensuring that they are fully prepared not only for tests but also for the challenges of university and industry.

I believe in tailoring each lesson to the student’s learning style, whether it’s visual aids, interactive discussions, or problem-solving exercises. My real-world experience in the pharmaceutical industry allows me to give students practical insights, making biology more relatable and engaging.

Typical Length of a Lesson:

A typical lesson lasts 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the student’s needs. This allows enough time to thoroughly cover key concepts, practice problem-solving, and review material through active recall and discussion.

Qualifications/Experience:

I graduated from the University of Limerick with a Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Biochemistry and have six years of experience working in the pharmaceutical industry as a validation engineer. In addition to my industry experience, I am completing my Lean and Six Sigma Black Belt training, further refining my problem-solving and process improvement skills. I achieved the top grade in Biology in my Leaving Cert, ranking first in my school, and I have extensive experience mentoring and teaching employees within the industry.

Who the Lessons Are For:

I offer personalized biology tutoring for secondary-level students preparing for Junior Cert and Leaving Cert exams. My lessons are tailored for students aged 15-18, helping them grasp complex biological concepts, build confidence, and achieve top exam results. Whether students are struggling with certain topics or looking to excel, I ensure they have the tools they need to succeed academically and beyond.
