Janice, Academic Tutor
For the past 30 years Janice has tutored in Biology, Chemistry and Physics to A level standard. She has combined this bringing up her family of three girls who have now made her a grandmother of five. Janice previously worked at Haywards Heath College teaching Biology and Chemistry and as a special educational needs tutor for 20 years.
Janice especially enjoys the 1:1 interaction of working with students on understanding science and application. The new syllabus emphasis on application rather than recall is challenging for both students and tutors; Janice is finding the new techniques for learning and revision revitalising, both for her and her students.
In her spare time, Janice enjoys Pilates and music. She especially enjoys live filmed music performances and is eclectic in her tastes; she enjoys orchestral opera and classical, traditional jazz and folk music. She also loves sketching and drawing, basic watercolour landscapes and still life.

JANICE’S THOUGHTS ON TUTORING
Tutoring is an evolving process between participants. Although clients and parents view the tutor as the 'expert', if that is where the relationship begins and ends, it's not learning. For me, to learn and understand a student's misconception and to discuss the why is one of those 'light bulb' moments which makes tutoring so enjoyable.
CLIENTS’ THOUGHTS ON JANICE
“Janice has a brilliantly clear way of guiding my daughter so she can understand Physics and Chemistry. It was a pleasure watching the penny drop and her view of herself move from ‘I can’t do physics and chemistry’ to confidence. This has made her approach home learning and revision far more enthusiastically. Since then tutoring focus has been on learning and exam technique and this has really improved her prospective grades. Thank you for your help.” - Ceri, mother
