About MICHAEL
I have a BSc/Hons in Zoology, a PhD in Molecular Parasitology and a PGCE in Biology and Science from Queens University Belfast. I have been a postdoctoral research scientist at University of Calgary (Canada, 2006-2008), University of Liverpool (2008-2009) and Trinity College Dublin (2009-2010) and I have published my work in scientific journals and presented at international conferences. I have taught CCEA A Level Biology since 2011 and I have my own resources which include power points, learning logs (useful for university interviews) and revision sheets. I have been a CCEA examiner for A Level and GCSE Biology since 2013.
I am a senior scientist at Almac Diagnostic Services where I employ technologies which are required knowledge for the CCEA A-Level Biology specification.

I have my own learning and teaching resources and have experience with A-Level Biology practicals and coursework. I mentor A-Level students for university interviews and I have an extensive archive of science magazines, news reports, videos and biology related books which I make available for students to read. I am also an A-Level and GCSE Biology examiner for the CCEA board which places me in a good position to enhance the examination technique of my students to obtain high grades
I have been tutoring A-Level CCEA Biology since January 2012 and I have enjoyed much success with numerous students. I have taught students from:

I provide succinct and colour revision notes for each topic which reflect the new specification mark schemes. I also provide PowerPoint presentations and past paper questions and answers. Lastly, I provide articles from news sites or science magazines for each topic which provide additional (but not assessed) information which can be useful for broadening knowledge, highlighting different careers and expanding understanding for university interviews.

Michael assisted me with my A-level biology exam revision. He was extremely helpful in my studies, as he delivered information in a highly efficient and memorable way, using great resources. He also recommended study techniques that significantly improved my grades. 10/10, I would strongly recommend.
My daughter started with Michael for her AS biology. He was excellent. His lessons are so well prepared and his notes brilliant. Jill was delighted. I strongly recommend.
I worked with Michael for AS and A Level Biology. His high-quality resources and step-by-step methods for answering past-paper questions helped me consistently hit top-band marks. I finished with an A*.
Biology had been a subject I found quite difficult at A Level, which was reflected in my AS results. With Michael's help, I resat my AS exams alongside my A2 exams in Year 14.
Michael is an organised, knowledgeable, and highly motivating tutor who explains complex concepts in simple, understandable terms. His well organised notes and past paper questions were invaluable for revision and exam preparation.
As someone not planning to pursue a biology related career, I particularly appreciated how he used analogies linked to my interests, making difficult topics much easier to comprehend.
Most importantly, Michael helped me become much more confident in Biology, improving both my understanding of the subject and my exam technique. I am very grateful for his support and would highly recommend him as a tutor.I first reached out to Michael to tutor me after I got a disappointing result in my year 13 biology in August of last year. Since then, I have now completed all of my year 14 exams (with Michael's aid throughout the school year) and can safely say that I am far more confident now than I was this time last year. Michael teaches you valuable study skills and walks you through complicated processes with ease and makes what would be a daunting course to cover far more palatable.
I have been learning with Michael as my tutor, and I highly recommend him to other students. He is patient, knowledgeable, and always takes the time to make sure I fully understand each topic before moving on.
What I appreciate most about Michael’s teaching method is how clearly he explains difficult concepts and adapts his lessons to my learning style. He creates a supportive and encouraging environment, which has helped me build confidence and improve my understanding.
I would highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a reliable, effective, and supportive tutor.I had Michael tutor me for both AS and A2 CCEA Biology and I couldn’t recommend him more to students who feel like they’d benefit from extra support. Michael’s notes for biology are wonderful, they are so much easier to understand than the text book (and a lot shorter - without omitting any key information). Michael really helped me understand what examiners were looking for in questions and he taught me many useful tips to help remember important content. My teacher at school had little faith in me but with Michael’s help I got a grade A. Michael is also a very kind man (but knows when to be stern - to push you, for your own improvement) and I looked forward to our sessions each week.
Michael tutored me for A-level Biology and significantly improved both my subject knowledge and exam technique. His notes focused on the highest-yield content and were an invaluable resource for A-levels. Working with Michael helped me develop a much deeper understanding of the content and, importantly, how to apply that knowledge to exam questions, which was something I had previously struggled with.
