Elizabeth

I am a qualified, CRB checked, teacher with experience teaching chemistry at an outstanding Kingston girls Grammar school, an Independent school and a Sixth Form College, and have also tutored on a one to one basis for many years, including home schooled students.

Tutoring Experience

Being a qualified teacher myself, I am very aware of the time constraints schools have in teaching the Chemistry syllabus and how easy it is for students to struggle with the necessary pace of the lessons. I am highly experienced at supporting students of all abilities, all levels and in all syllabuses, using a variety of teaching methods to explain key concepts in both theoretical and practical topics and to develop effective exam techniques.

Tutoring Approach

I have a very approachable manner and I feel confident that each student will benefit from the tutoring I provide, either by supplementing their current school lessons, or by producing a personalised learning plan, when necessary. All students will have the opportunity to interact and consequently succeed.
Due to Covid I have been tutoring online. This has been very successful, allowing me to send worksheets in advance and share documents or powerpoints during the sessions. I use OneNote which has an electronic whiteboard and pen and I recommend each student to obtain an electronic pen, as they can then also write on the shared screen, making each lesson more interactive. This however is not essential.
Some students now prefer to face to face lessons, which I am also happy to do, preferrably at my home, but will travel to students' homes if necessary,. This would involve a travelling fee.
