I am currently tutoring online and in person.

I am a University College London graduate with a Masters degree in Natural Sciences. I majored in Organic Chemistry with Particle Physics as my minor.

Prior to university I took the International Baccalaureate at Dartford Grammar School, reading Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics at higher level.

In my spare time I enjoy working out at the gym and I like to widen my knowledge of foreign languages.

Tutoring Experience

I have been a full time tutor for over ten years and currently work with a number of students, preparing them for GCSE, IGCSE, A-Level and IB examinations.

I have previous experience with tutoring students for exams set by the following examination boards:

Maths
A-Level: Edexcel, OCR, WJEC and AQA
IB: International Baccalaureate
GCSE: Edexcel, OCR and AQA
IGCSE: Edexcel and AQA

Chemistry
A-Level: Edexcel, OCR, WJEC and AQA
IB: International Baccalaureate
GCSE: Edexcel, OCR and AQA
IGCSE: Edexcel and AQA

Physics
A-Level: Edexcel, OCR and AQA
IB: International Baccalaureate
GCSE: Edexcel, OCR and AQA
IGCSE: Edexcel and AQA

When submitting a tutoring request, it would be very helpful if you could include the examination board that sets your exam, the number of hours per week that you require tuition, a preferred day and time, a preferred start date and whether there are any deadlines that you are working to. This will enable me to respond fully on first contact.

The feedback I receive from students and parents has been very positive and I am proud to have made the candidates look forward to their exams with confidence instead of apprehension.

Tutoring Approach

My experience has shown that when students receive regular tuition and have ample time to practice before their exams, they can develop a true passion for the subject and perform extremely well.

Therefore, I do not put emphasis on haste, but rather on building solid foundations. When possible, I like to make tutorials interesting by not only covering the curriculum, but referring to real-life examples and making connections that go beyond what the exam boards ask for.

I am truly passionate about Maths, Chemistry and Physics, a fact tutees often mention, and I have found my attitude to be contagious, much to the advantage of the students.
