Chemistry lessons for university students by Oxford uni post-doc / teaching lang: English / communication in French available

I offer private lessons in Chemistry to school students following French, British, IB or American systems. Being a PhD-holder in Chemistry from Imperial College London, I also offer support to chemistry students at university level.
Classes are delivered online via Zoom.

In my classes:
- I encourage asking relevant questions and I am willing to repeat explanations as much as necessary.
- I use technological tools and web interfaces to provide visual support to verbal explanations, which I consider a key part of effective teaching.
- I share my own, tailored, class notes and encourage the student to take notes him/herself as practice.
- We solve problems and I also assign homework and correct it in the following lesson.

After my classes, I share my notes with my students to help them retain the information and revise.

About Me

I am a PhD holder in Chemistry research from Imperial College London, where I also completed my undergraduate studies (1st class Honours).
Throughout my years in secondary school and at university, I have always been driven by a thirst for understanding, which helped me break away from the understandable but restricting reluctance to ask questions, for either fear of embarrassment or of seeming geeky. As a result, I find my eagerness to share the knowledge I have gained with young students is fueled by the hope of helping these students break away from such worries, and enjoy the process of learning. Apart from the importance of creating an environment where students feel comfortable to ask when struggling to understand, I am also aware of the value of using creative yet simple analogies when explaining concepts, not just to engage students’ attention, but also to inspire them to ask questions which may go beyond the level they are at.

Education

I obtained my undergraduate (MSci; 1st class) and postgraduate (PhD) degrees from Imperial College London, after completing my French Baccalaureate with distinction.

Experience / Qualifications

My chemistry students include French Bac and IB students. I also teach Arabic and English to professionals. However, my love for and experience in teaching goes back to when I used to teach my younger sister maths and science, as well as help peer students struggling with chemistry and physics in grade 12.
During my studies at Imperial College London, I held various tutor/mentor roles which included working as a demonstrator for a workshop on some basics of coding using Python. During my PhD, I also acted as assistant supervisor for a BSc student doing her final year research project; I helped her plan some experiments, understand the data and analyse it. I also worked as mentor for students attending summer schools at Imperial College; these roles were mostly pastoral. More recently, I have worked as a private tutor in French and Chemistry for students in grades 7 and 11 at the French Lycée.

GCSE and A Level Chemistry (Physical, Inorganic and Organic)
Chemistry, whether at the GCSE or A-Level, offers students an exciting journey into the building blocks of our world and equips them with a foundational understanding of matter and its transformations. At the GCSE level, students are introduced to key concepts such as atomic structure, the periodic table, bonding, and chemical reactions. Through hands-on experiments, they explore how elements combine to form compounds, investigate the properties of acids and bases, and study introductory organic and environmental chemistry. Practical skills and theoretical knowledge are developed in parallel, fostering an understanding of the scientific method and analytical thinking. As students advance to A-Level Chemistry, they deepen their knowledge with more sophisticated topics and a greater focus on problem-solving. Here, they explore physical chemistry, learning about reaction rates, thermodynamics, equilibrium, and redox reactions in-depth. Organic chemistry expands to cover mechanisms, functional groups, and synthetic pathways, while inorganic chemistry includes the study of complex compounds and transition metals. A-Level students also engage in advanced practical work, developing precision in laboratory techniques and research skills crucial for scientific inquiry. Together, GCSE and A-Level Chemistry provide a solid framework for students, paving the way for further study in fields like medicine, engineering, pharmacology, and biochemistry. By exploring both fundamental and complex chemical principles, students cultivate a critical understanding of the natural world and gain skills that will benefit them in a wide range of scientific and technical disciplines.

Ziqra
Medical student teaching A Level Biology, Chemistry
Hi, I’m Ziqra, Currently I am a final year medical student at Manchester University. I have experience tutoring GCSE for 7 years and A level chemistry and biology tutoring for 5 years. With experience in tutoring the sciences and maths I aspire to be passionate and enthusiastic about what I’m teaching to keep students motivated. It is crucial in A level sciences that students have a sound understanding of each topic, which is vital for obtaining the highest marks possible As well as this understanding the content, revising exam style questions are vital to comprehending how the mark scheme works. In lesson both aspects of this can be covered, as well as covering topics that students feel is necessary for them to improve their learning and grades.

Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry - College - how to go about it.
I teach mathematics, physics and chemistry from elementary to high school: I put much more emphasis on methodology and confidence building. This makes it easier for students to approach the material. I support students throughout the year with personalized follow-up for each student: methodology, exam preparation, optimization and time management. Homework help, revisions, preparation of revision sheets, exam corrections, personalized advice. Depending on the level, the difficulties and the needs of my students, I set up a program to assess their progress. Some need more lessons to consolidate the basics while others master the course and they need more practice exercises. Once the students have mastered the course and the application exercises, we work through specific tests, self-confidence and time management, making it easier to tackle exams in class. I have students who were below average and who became good at it; others who were good but lacked confidence and subsequently became excellent. I am available immediately for regular or punctual courses.

Maths, Chemistry and Biology for any level up to GCSE or Equivalent
I believe that it is important that each session is tailored to the individual. Sessions will begin with a brief introduction to the topic and a task which will allow me to gauge the current working level and to establish strengths and weaknesses in the area. My experience as a tutor allows me to make quick, informed decisions about how to adapt the session in order to achieve maximum progress. I always make sure that I have read and understood the relevant exam board specification to ensure that I deliver the information and skills required for exam success. I strongly feel that engagement, encouragement and enjoyment are essential for acquiring, understanding and retaining new skills and knowledge. Therefore, my sessions will be interactive and include progressive tasks allowing application and practice. I try to make my tutees comfortable in my sessions through reassurance and communication, with us both asking questions throughout the session - I am ready to explain things in different ways until it is understood!
