My name is Nicole, I have just completed my PhD in Chemistry at the University of Nottingham.

Tutoring Experience

Experienced in private tutoring of students from GCSE to University.

Tutoring Approach

My teaching approach is personalised, student-centred, and interactive. Every student learns differently and therefore tailor my methods to fit each individual's learning style. Below is a general structure to my approach:

1. Assessment and Goal Setting - understand each student's current level and identify areas of improvement. Set out clear achievable aims to keep the sessions focused. This will be in the introductory lesson.

2. Customised Plans - Create plans suited to the student's needs, ensuring they are engaging, relevant and progressive.

3. Exam Technique and Confidence - Building skills beyond learning the material and focusing on the student's study skills, time management, and exam strategies.

4. Support and Engagement - I aim to create a positive and supportive learning environment where the student feels comfortable and motivated. I encourage the students to ask questions and to participate in discussions. I aim to be patient, and approachable and work both with students and parents to empower confidence in learning.
