Personal Description:
With many years experience of teaching Chemistry, I still have great passion for this subject.
Tutoring Experience:
I am a fully qualified and current Secondary school teacher in Chemistry and Science. I have tutored privately as well for over 25 years, both to individual students and to small groups–––––––––––in NZ and overseas.
Tutoring Approach:
I very much enjoy private tuition and helping students to make progress with their studies. I am able to teach the subject and give students practice with many questions to consolidate their understanding in each tutorial. I can also provide revision notes. As a current teacher, I am very familiar with Chemistry and Science NCEA courses and content as well as IB Chemistry SL level.
My tutoring is adapted to suit student needs and abilities.
I prefer to tutor at my home either after school or early evenings on weekdays or at weekends.
I also offer online lessons via Zoom.

From Tracy (/5): The tuition Margot has provided my daughter and her friend has been invaluable and has given them a confidence boost leading up to their externals for NCEA level 2 chemistry. The girls found Margot to be very approachable and adaptable at each lesson. The extra resources Margot provided, her clear explanations and systematic approach was really appreciated by the girls. The advice and tips on how to approach NCEA internals and externals were also extremely helpful. The girls experience has been incredibility positive and we (parents & the girls) would not hesitate to recommend Margot to anyone needing some extra help with Chemistry. Both girls are continuing with NCEA level 3 chemistry next year and no doubt will be in touch with Margot if the need arises. Thanks so much Margot for encouraging and supporting the girls in this journey.

From Moses (/5): Margot was very flexible and accomodating with time, which made it easier for me to see her at times when I needed help. Margot teaches quickly, yet thoroughly, leaving plenty of time for revision and practice. Her explanations are concise and simple which make memorising for exams much easier, and she has plenty of helpful resources to share which helped me very much in preparation for my exam
From Rachel (/5): My son loved his sessions with Margot, and for science (which he hates) was a big thing. Someone to make science fun is definitely a good thing.
From Jonathan (/5): My son said Margot knew the chem material in question quite well and explained it better than his regular chem instructor. She also helped with sci-experiment ideas for a project. He only booked 2 hrs with her but they were worthwhile.
From Lisa (/5): Margot has been brilliant. My daughter has gone from finding chemistry daunting, to feeling confident that she'll pass her exam. We've found Margot lovely to deal with and extremely accommodating. She has catered well to my daughter's learning style (slightly surly and uncomfortable teenager) I would not hesitate recommend Margot!
