Personal Description: I am a Qualified Chemistry Teacher having trained at the University of Southampton, qualified to teach chemistry 11-18 years, biology 11-16 years and physics 11-14 years. I recently studied chemistry after a career in business so empathise with problems encountered along the pathway to understanding. My particular passion is chemical calculation work and enjoy tutoring this in particular. Prior to teacher training, my study included six months' full-time at the University of Sussex specifically concentrating on teaching the requirements of the school chemistry curriculum up to 18 years (and undergraduate level organic chemistry), leaving me in a better position than many tutors to understand what students need.

I am also a business professional with 12 years insurance industry experience and a business degree from Bournemouth University. I am an Associate of the Charterered Institute of Insurance and spent 18 months living in France during my degree. I tutor conversational French to beginners and intermediates.

I am happy to tutor multiple subjects to a family.

Tutoring Experience: Teaching placements at two large mixed comprehensives in Poole and New Milton. I am a newly qualified teacher.

Tutoring Approach: Back to basics from revising and practising simple algebra required to do calculation work. The aim of my tutoring is to allow students to be able to think through problems from first principles to avoid mental blocks in exams. Then it is a question of doing practice question after practice question.

Qualifications:
