Tutoring Experience

I have helped students to achieve complete success in their exams. I am highly experienced coaching students from various boards such as OCR (Chem A), OCR Salters, AQA, EDEXEL and IB.
Most of my students improve their grades at least by two levels. Some of my recent success (June 2019) include the following:

John has been my daughter’s Chemistry tutor for the last 6 months. We have found him to be very knowledgeable and helped her understand concepts better. He is also very good in explaining difficult topics and also navigating through revision papers and explaining what needs to be done to improve grades.He is very patient and kind which sets him apart. My daughter is an AS (Edexel board) student and this has reflected in her grades and confidence.He is an outstanding teacher and I have no hesitation in recommending him.

Tutoring Approach

My style of coaching is pretty much hands-on with plenty of practice using past papers and appropriate mark schemes.This is of course done taking into account of the students needs and focusing on the areas they may find challenging.
