Online Maths and Chemistry Tuition

Hi, my name is Sam and I'm 25. I have a wealth of experience in scientific research, Biochemistry and working with teenagers. regarding specifically antibiotic drug development and in the development of diagnostic assays for the NHS.

Most recently I have worked the NHS Blood and Transplant department. Here my work involved developing new diagnostic assays to be used by the NHS to identify different blood conditions as well as match patients and donors for suitable organ transplantation. As part of this degree, I mentored several undergraduate students in our lab group. I received a publication for this work.

I also received my Undergraduate degree in Biochemistry from the University of Portsmouth.

Tutoring Experience

For the last 10 years I have worked with young people aged 11-18, in a variety of paid and voluntary leadership roles. I have worked in Europe, helping German and Austrian teenagers with learning English. I have been a Programme Leader with the NCS scheme, helping dozens of teenagers achieve their qualification. I have also worked in various paid and voluntary roles as a youth leader. Due to all this, I find I am able to relate on a personal level with young people, helping them to better develop their academic skills and to perform better in exams.

The people I have worked with through First Tutors have all been in different parts of their academic journey and had different goals. I'm happy to say every single person I tutored achieved their goals. I put this mostly down to the personal level I can offer, as well as bringing my knowledge to an individual in a way they will best absorb it.

Tutoring Approach

Everyone is different and everyone learns in a different way. I am extremely flexible in my approach and would use a different method for each person. I try to treat the first session as an information gathering session, helping me understand the learning styles of the individual. Likewise, you can assess whether I am right for your needs and decide not to continue. After meeting with and understanding the needs of the individual I would create a personal tutoring plan. This would highlight the work required on my part as well as the tutee to achieve their desired grade or outcome.
