About

Huw Fear BSc PhD
I taught secondary school science for several years and am also an experienced private tutor. I currently work as a freelance tutor. I received a PhD in molecular biology from the Cardiff Medical School and a PGCE from Durham University. I specialise in biology but also have experience of teaching all sciences and maths (chemistry and maths up to A level). I understand and am compassionate with the needs and concerns of students, and can tutor effectively across the whole spectrum of student confidence and ability levels.Having marked A level Biology exams I have a very good understanding of common mistakes in the application of knowledge in this subject.I believe that every student is different; on first meeting I work to develop a relationship of confidence and trust, producing a study plan that will aim to meet the student’s particular needs. I advocate the development of good study habits, and have a positive approach which is aimed to build self-assurance and an atmosphere where the student is comfortable and feels a sense of progression and achievement.
