About Semone
I have spent 18 years teaching Science and leading curriculum, assessment and student intervention across secondary education.
My experience has taught me how to identify what is preventing a student from progressing, explain demanding ideas clearly and build a coherent route towards GCSE success.
AQA examination marking • NPQ in Leading Teaching • Experience across AQA, Pearson Edexcel and OCR specifications
Experience that shapes my teaching
Experience with different learners
I have taught Science across Key Stages 3 to 5 in a wide range of school settings, supporting students with different starting points, levels of confidence and learning needs.
Curriculum and assessment expertise
As a Science leader, I have designed curricula, strengthened assessment and used examination analysis to identify gaps, plan intervention and improve students’ progress.
Clear, responsive teaching
I use questioning, retrieval, structured practice and examination responses to check understanding, address misconceptions and decide what students need next.
What students can expect
My aim is to make demanding Science manageable while helping students become more confident and independent learners.
Clear explanations
I break complex ideas into logical steps and check understanding before moving on.
Purposeful practice
Students retrieve, apply and connect knowledge through carefully structured tasks and examination questions.
Growing independence
Students develop practical ways to revise, prepare and recognise what they need to work on next.
