Cameron

Hello! My name is Cameron, and I have just finished my doctorate in Inorganic Chemistry at Somerville College, University of Oxford. Over my time at Oxford I have discovered a passion for teaching, as well as an experimental chemist. I currently work as a consultant scientist.

Tutoring Experience

I have previously volunteered as a teaching assistant and subject mentor for Year 9 Chemistry during my years in Sixth Form (2012-14). I have also worked as a lab demonstrator and tutor during my undergraduate and graduate degrees, and have extensive experience as a freelance tutor.

Tutoring Approach

My approach to tutorials follows the Oxford "tutorial" system. The student will first let me know about a past paper or set of questions which they require help with OR I will suggest past papers myself. Then, the student will complete this work, and I will discuss their successes and failures during the tutorial, highlighting their strong points and helping them see where there is room for improvement. I will also bring a set of unpractised questions to the tutorial, which we can also discuss if time permits.

Naturally, I won't be able to resist the opportunity to demonstrate how stimulating and engaging chemistry can be, and how vital it is in the modern world. My flair for university-level chemistry will shine through, and I will happily offer insights as to what is yet to come for the subject, should the student choose to pursue it.

I am very flexible with regards to times. I can also offer help with personal statements for university applications.
