A: Hi, Iโm Sophie โ a full-time A-Level Biology & Chemistry tutor based in Northern Ireland, specialising in the CCEA exam board. Iโm a qualified teacher, examiner, and full-time tutor, which means I dedicate my entire working life to helping my students succeed. Outside of tutoring, Iโm a proud gaming nerd with a whole tattoo sleeve covered in Bowser, Toad, Snorlax, Spyro and more! ๐ฎ
