Holly K.

My name is Liezle. I am currently pursuing a career in science as a trainee laboratory assistant within the biochemistry and chemistry fields. Additionally, I’ve run my own business, taught middle school in Asia, and for a few years exercised my creative muscle as a fashion assistant. Anything outdoor involving wine and food with a friend, or a lazy day at the ocean or hanging around in a shopping mall is a good day. I truly love science. I am passionate about learning new things and applying my knowledge to real-world problems. I am always eager to collaborate with others and contribute to the advancement of scientific research, testing and analytical thinking! I am a 3rd year student at the University of South Africa; I am pursuing a Bachelor of Science with a focus on biochemistry and chemistry. I have also gained valuable experience as a general science educator for a few years, where I taught students within intermediate phase, in the chemistry, physics and biology disciplines. I am also embarking on a one-year laboratory assistant trainee program.

Hi there! I’m Zuzanna, and I’m excited to be your tutor. I hold a degree in Microbiology and a Master’s in Immunology and Infectious Disease, and I currently work in a microbiology laboratory. I’m passionate about education, science, languages, and travel, and I bring that excitement and curiosity straight into my lessons. Levels & Subjects I Teach: GCSE: Science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics), English A-Level: Biology, English Exam Board Experience: AQA, Edexcel, OCR Languages: English – Native Polish – Fluent French – Conversational Preferred Student Age Group: PRIMARY, GCSE, A-Level I have extensive teaching and mentoring experience, including delivering A-Level practical endorsement sessions, mentoring Level 3 Laboratory Technicians, and supporting students as a career coach. I also work with students with ADHD, Autism and Dyslexia, adapting lessons to suit different learning styles and creating a calm, encouraging environment. My lessons are structured, interactive and firmly exam-focused, but never dry! I combine clear, engaging explanations with active recall, targeted past-paper practice and detailed mark scheme analysis so students understand exactly how to maximise marks. Challenging topics are broken down into simple, logical steps, using diagrams, quick quizzes and real-world examples to make learning memorable. At the same time, we refine exam technique, key terminology and answer structure to ensure strong performance under pressure. I hold a BSc (Hons) in Microbiology (2023) and an MSc in Infection and Immunity (2025) from the University of Liverpool. My MSc research focused on bacterial pathogenesis and host-pathogen interactions, while my BSc dissertation explored Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm adaptation, providing a strong foundation in practical science, analytical thinking, and problem-solving. Throughout my degrees, I worked as a career coach, developing skills in mentoring, communication, and confidence-building online and in-person, which I now apply directly in my tutoring. I attended Greenhead College (Huddersfield, UK, 2018–2020), completing A-Levels in Biology (A), Chemistry (C), and Geography (A). During this time, I began tutoring students in A-Level Biology, helping them strengthen their understanding and improve exam technique. I also support family and friends in GCSE Sciences and Maths (AQA and OCR), both in person and online, tailoring lessons to individual needs. My specialisations are science, particularly Biology, which I teach at GCSE and A-Level, and I am also competent in Chemistry and English. I have experience in practical lab skills, exam-focused tutoring, and supporting students with ADHD, Autism, and Dyslexia. I am currently completing a TEFL certificate to further strengthen my teaching practice in English. I have also mentored a Level 3 Laboratory Technician at BioGrad, delivering weekly guidance and coordinating with tutors, and led A-Level Science practical endorsement sessions, supervising small student groups. These roles strengthened my lesson planning, explanation of complex topics, and constructive feedback skills, all directly transferable to tutoring. I am confident these experiences equip me to help students achieve stronger grades, steady progress, and confidence in learning.

I'm a fun and active individual that likes sports and other physical activities. Just started my second year in my degree apprenticeship in data science with Airbus UK and some of my favourite hobbies include: Basketball, Cricket, movies, travelling and gaming. Attended Broughton Fields primary school when I first moved to the UK in 2011, and then went on to complete my GCSEs and A levels at Oakgrove Secondary School in Milton Keynes. Achieving high grades in both GCSEs and A levels, having done IT, Business and Mathematics in A levels.
