Rory
GCSE level Mathematics, Computer Science or Physics teacher
As a A level student, I have extremely recent experience in all the GCSE test content, style and format. This means I can provide a new angle on subjects and know how to explain new topics or topic your child is struggling with as I myself am learning new content everyday. This means I can be a personal tutor and target help to your child and therefore allow them to achieve the best grades possible. In my GCSES I achieved 9's in all these subjects and have continued them all on for A level including Further Maths. I believe as a student tutor I will be able to connect better with your child and therefore actively learn rather than seeing it as a lesson with some dreary old teacher. Please feel free to contact me for more details.

Mohamed
Chemistry Class for Secondary School Grade Student
Chemistry is the study of matter—its characteristics, behavior and structure. Chemists are interested in the way materials act and react in certain situations, so they produce and observe these reactions, both in nature and artificially in a lab setting. Chemistry is the study of substances—that is, elements and compounds—while biology is the study of living things. However, these two branches of science meet in the discipline of biochemistry, which studies the substances in living things and how they change within an organism.
