Tutoring Experience

A comprehensive online tuition service can also be provided in addition to face-to-face tuition – please see full details below

I am a friendly, approachable Oxford educated tutor with over 15 years tutoring experience, comprising a mix of one-to-one tuition, teaching within small groups as well as larger classroom environments. I have extensive, detailed knowledge of all the major GCSE and A-level examination boards, with particular expertise in the OCR, Edexcel, CIE/Pre-U, WJEC and AQA syllabuses.

I’ve taught A level Chemistry and GCSE Science at Highgate School, North London, and both Chemistry and Mathematics at City of London School for Girls. I have experience teaching pupils affected with learning difficulties such as ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia and those on the autistic spectrum.

I also offer tuition for the BMAT and GAMSAT medical school entrance exams. Over the past decade, I have helped numerous students of school age as well as mature students with these difficult, niche tests and gain entry to their chosen medical school. Additionally, I also offer specialist coaching and mock interview practice for those applying to medical school and Oxbridge, including the preparation of a Personal Statement for the UCAS form (this being one of my designated roles at Highgate).

Lastly, tuition is provided for those sitting numeracy and literacy exams required for entrance to the Armed Forces or those studying for degrees that incorporate Chemistry modules, for example, Business with Chemistry, foundation courses etc.

I cover Central London and Greater London, but do work further afield - please get in touch. I also work with a number of international students around the world e.g. China, Hong Kong, the US etc via online tuition.

Rates: GCSE and A level: £60/hour.

Undergraduate, BMAT and GAMSAT: £60/hour

ONLINE TUITION
Full online tuition services are provided utilising whatever platform you wish – whether it be Zoom, Skype or Microsoft Teams. Online lessons are streamed in full HD using professional audio, visual and lighting equipment (not a laptop webcam and inbuilt microphone), ensuring your experience is as close as possible to in-person tuition. Furthermore, I utilise a traditional whiteboard, so you can take notes during the lesson and we can discuss problems in real-time. Lastly, practice questions, mark schemes and notes can be sent over instantly during the lesson.

I have an extensive list of references from previously satisfied clients for your perusal - please get in touch and see my personal website for more information.

Tutoring Approach

Every person is different and has his/her own unique ability to grasp and retain new information, whether it be learning at home or in school. With this in mind, I am very flexible and adaptable in my approach to teaching, and endeavour to create a learning environment in which a tutee can thrive. I aim to get the very best out of tutees using a variety of teaching methods with a strong emphasis on exam technique.

I have helped tutees of all ages and abilities, both on a one-to-one basis as well as within larger classroom environments. I have an extensive, proven track record of helping students fulfil their potential.
