Hello! Welcome to The Science Hummingbird.
I am passionate about helping young people discover that science isn’t just a subject to get through, but a fascinating way to understand the world around them.
I work with students across KS3, GCSE, and A-Level Biology, including those who find science tricky or intimidating. My aim is to build confidence, curiosity, and genuine understanding step by step.
The Science Hummingbird is led by a fully qualified science teacher with over 30 years of teaching experience, gained in both the UK and International schools. With a deep understanding of different curricula and learning styles, lessons are carefully tailored to meet each student’s individual needs.
All tutoring is delivered in a safe and professional online environment .
My lessons are relaxed, supportive, and full of those “Oh, I get it now!” moments that make learning rewarding and effective.
Lesson times are arranged directly with parents to ensure flexibility and the best fit for each student.
First session includes a 15 minute consultation and assessment.

Meet Alliyah
Hi, I'm Aliiyah, founder of The Science Hummingbird.
From a very young age, I knew I wanted to be a teacher. I loved learning, and I loved helping others understand new ideas. That passion has stayed with me throughout my life and has led to a career spanning more than 30 years in science education.
Over the years, I've taught students of all abilities and backgrounds. One thing I've learned is that success in science isn't about being "naturally clever", it's about building confidence, developing understanding and having someone who believes in you.
As a former Head of Science and a qualified teacher (QTS), I've seen first-hand how the right support can transform a student's confidence and achievement. Whether a student is aiming to pass GCSE Science or achieve the highest grades, I believe every learner deserves clear explanations, encouragement and resources that genuinely help.
I created The Science Hummingbird because I wanted to continue helping students beyond the classroom. My mission is simple:
To make science engaging, accessible and enjoyable, helping every student discover that they can succeed.
Every revision guide, worksheet and resource I create is designed with care, using the knowledge and experience I've gained over three decades of teaching.
I hope The Science Hummingbird gives students the confidence to believe in themselves, enjoy learning and achieve their very best.
Thank you for visiting.
Alliyah
Founder, The Science Hummingbird
I believe that confidence is just as important as knowledge. When students begin to believe they can succeed, amazing things happen.
