I am a retired science teacher with 9 years experience in private tuition: I have thorough knowledge of the Chemistry A level syllabus provided by each of the main exam boards and that includes what is required to get top marks in exam questions. I have experience in teaching Chemistry and Biology at A level as well as Maths and Science at GCSE. As a private tutor I have now helped dozens of students to achieve their best grades in their final exams and many of my students have left positive testimonials on this and other similar sites. Please note that I now only offer Chemistry A level online.

I am a qualified and experienced teacher committed to enabling others to achieve their full potential through motivational coaching and teaching. I have taught Science in secondary schools in the UK and I now specialise in providing private tuition and exam preparation for individuals and small groups. I have an engaging teaching style that comes from a patient, methodical approach with clear explanations and task setting. I believe that lessons should be enjoyable, relevant and student centred where it is the student's own efforts that creates the new learning. Above all lessons must be a positive experience that builds confidence. Students learn in different ways and methods and materials are always carefully selected with this in mind. I believe in traditional teaching methods with its emphasis on teaching the concepts that underpin a subject. Learning skills, revision and exam technique are all vital and will be taught as appropriate. I have extensive experience of online tuition using Zoom and other platforms
