I am a highly regarded tutor with an OFSTED Outstanding rating as a teacher and over 15 years of experience in education. Currently, I specialise in providing AQA/OCR Chemistry A Level tuition and also work as a lead examiner for AQA.

I offer personalised, one-to-one online tuition to students, catering to their individual needs, whether it's homework support, catching up on missed topics, or exam preparation. By closely collaborating with students and parents, I develop a tailored learning plan and employ various teaching styles to ensure effective understanding.

My primary goals are to assist students in:

-Cultivating a deeper understanding of the subject matter to tackle challenging questions.
-Enhancing exam techniques by leveraging in-depth knowledge of the exam system.
-Achieving the best possible grades through exam tips and detailed feedback.
-Equipping students with high-quality resources to prepare for exams.
-Boosting confidence by addressing any knowledge gaps.
-Developing more effective and efficient study skills.

Aside from my experience as a teacher, my sense of humour and adaptability are also essential in meeting each student's unique learning style and requirements. I genuinely care about providing the best possible support to each student, and it fills me with pride and joy to have helped over 500 students in to their universities of choice.

Tutoring Approach

As an examiner for a leading exam board for the past eight years, I have gained valuable insights into what examiners expect in structuring answers to 3-6 mark questions. Additionally, my comprehensive knowledge of the exam board's specifications enables me to tailor tuition to improve exam techniques and achieve better results.

With online tuition, students can access my services from anywhere in the world. Leveraging tools such as Skype and Bitpaper, we can fully embrace the wonders of modern technology, making online tuition a highly efficient and convenient option.

To supplement my teaching, I offer students access to a dedicated online portal on my website. This portal provides them with all the resources I have created and gathered over time, including topic-specific question banks with worked solutions. It has become increasingly popular, with approximately 3% of the AQA /OCR cohort utilising these resources last year.

Feel free to reach out to me for online tuition, and together, we can make your academic journey a successful and fulfilling one.
