A level, GCSE and IGCSE Chemistry: All UK and International exam boards offered.

GCSE and IGCSE Chemistry
Tuition covers teaching and revising theoretical and practical aspects of the exam specification.
Electronic resources, practice exam questions and video clips to consolidate the development of practical skills are covered in lessons.

I base my tutoring on the student's needs, developing their prior knowledge, building confidence in their learning and problem solving skills whilst developing exam technique.

At the moment all tuition is at my home or is online using Skype or Zoom for audio and a video link. I use an interactive whiteboard that permits PDF/Power Point slides and electronic documents to be used during lessons. A PDF of all the pages is downloaded for students to help them with note taking and as for revision in the future. Additional help sheets and practice questions can be supplied to help with developing learning and exam technique.

I develop the student's learning experience at school and provide additional resources and practice questions. My students are encouraged to develop their knowledge and an appreciation of what examiners require by developing their assessment for learning skills.

I enjoy tutoring and my students have all benefited enormously from individualised support in preparation for their examinations. Tutees enjoy their tutorial style lessons which are normally 1 hour in duration, but longer times can be arranged if required.

Group tuition can be arranged and a sliding scale for the tuition fee will be applied depending on the number of students involved.

About Me

I have extensive teaching experience in schools as a Science teacher, specialising in Chemistry, and at university as a lecturer in Organic Chemistry. I am a member of the Tutors Association.

I have a BSc (Hons.) degree and PhD in Chemistry. I have taught Science as a fully qualified teacher for secondary school education since 2006 and am a qualified Higher Education lecturer. I enjoy tutoring and my students have all benefited enormously from individualised support in preparation for their examinations.

At A Level I have taught the entire Chemistry course, my students have taken the AQA, Edexcel and OCR and both the Edexcel and Cmbridge International A level Chemistry examinations and achieved the highest grades. I have helped student prepare for Oxbridge interviews through extension lessons beyond the A level specification, and coached students for technical interviews.

Experience / Qualifications

I am qualified to teach in Higher Education as well as from KS3 to KS5 as a Teacher of Science specialising in Chemistry at A Level. I have more than 15 years’ experience teaching KS3 and KS4 with more than 20 years’ experience teaching A level chemistry including 8 years online tuition.

Over the last fifteen years I have established a successful private teaching business, both face-to-face and on-line, offering private tuition to students preparing for exams at the following levels: Common Entrance, GCSE, AS, A Level, IB and undergraduate degrees. I am an examination marker for Pearson Edexcel for more than 6 years. I have completed over 2500 hours online tuition in the past three years. Since 2024 I have taught A level Chemistry in a hybrid model with online theory and face-to-face practical and theory lessons using the Google Classroom platform for online teaching as well as IGCSE sciences in a virtual school.

Extending students to ensure that they master the full exam specification as well as being able to deal with material beyond the boundaries of their formal exam specification has been a feature of my teaching and tuition to help the most able students prepare for UK Chemistry Olympiads and the Cambridge C3L6 challenge.

A highly professional individual, I have been responsible for student learning as a teacher and their welfare as a form tutor, motivated by helping every student achieve their full potential in both schools and universities. I have experience of teaching students across the whole ability range, in the state and independent sectors as well as chemistry and ancillary chemistry undergraduate students.

I have acted as a Practical Endorsement Visiting Monitor to assess the replacement to coursework in the A level specification in schools and colleges for six years.

Tuition develops students’ prior knowledge and skills to help them become confident learners. Lessons consolidate on learning in school, develop good exam technique and ensure that learning is both enjoyable and challenging. A full range of resources are available to support the tuition and extension work can be provided and feedback provided to support learning between tuition sessions.
GCSE and IGCSE Physics Tuition covers teaching and revising theoretical and practical aspects of the exam specification. Electronic resources, practice exam questions and video clips to consolidate the development of practical skills are covered in lessons.

Keziah
Mathematics and Science Tuition from KS3 to A Level.
I have been an independent tutor for just over 6 years now. I recognise the strength behind developing my student's own academic interests and aim to kindle these interests by engaging them in a way that suits them. As well as bolstering my student's knowledge of their subject content, I develop students' time management and general exam technique, as these factors are vital in securing top grades. I have experience tutoring students from primary school age through to GCSEs and A Levels. I have helped students pass 11+ and 13+ exams, securing places in selective schools and have also helped students to surpass their predicted grades; achieving 100% A* - B and more recently, 100% 9-7 results. I have worked as an SEN Learning Support Assistant in a comprehensive school and with this experience, I am also suited to work with children facing a wide range of barriers to learning and ensure that they reach their full potential.

Raef
Private lessons in Math - Physics - Chemistry and SVT
Experienced professor graduated from the Faculty. of Sciences and the Fac. of Medicine of France, gives private lessons in Mathematics - Analysis - Matrices - Statistics - Algebra - Physics - Chemistry - Biology of French, Quebec CEGEP or International programs (in English) to students of secondary classes, Terminales, Brevet Concours and classes university preparatory courses for the 2022/2023 academic year. So that I can help students who take CNED and those who prepare for the SAT exams. The lessons will take place either at home or online using a specific, very modernized method, a shared interactive board equipped with writing tools where I can, with the student, write and correct homework by exposing them directly, in addition to Zoom or Skype to communicate (very practical method like at home). Results of my Terminale students since 2015: mentions Very good, Good and Excellent. Contact me for more details.
