Billey

As a teacher with over thirty years of classroom experience with multiethnic and multinational cohorts, I am confident that I will be able to deliver a high quality service at any educational institution. Let me also indicate you that I am an examiner for various UK-based examination boards and I am very familiar with examination patterns and intricacies of marking schemes. I can indeed train students from the much coveted examination point of view, to realize their aspirations, in a practical way. During my decades-long teaching career, I have helped students achieve their maximum potential, irrespective of the initial level of subject-based understanding, linguistic skills or examination boards. I have been voted as the most inspiring/effective teacher, year after year. Students really appreciate my lessons as I make it a point to help them relate the observations they make during laboratory sessions to the fundamental theoretical aspects of the subject, as detailed elsewhere in their texts. I really enjoy making excellent student-friendly and differentiated resources (notes, workbooks, worksheets, specially designed tests and their mark-schemes) every year. This enables me to cater for the educational needs of both domestic and international students. Ever since I have started my career as a teacher, I have taught students from several countries including China, Nigeria, Vietnam, Russia, Kazakhstan, India, Libya, UAE and Saudi Arabia and have been very successful in unlocking their potential.
I hold a post graduate (M.Sc.) degree in Chemistry and also a Ph.D.

Tutoring Experience

I have more than 32 years of experience in teaching Chemistry to various levels (Year 7-GCSE, A-Level and B.Sc.)

Tutoring Approach

I have great confidence in teaching a range of abilities, and in raising the standards of achievement by keeping the challenge level high but their stress levels low. I monitor the progress of students closely and regularly and take great care in engaging students of all abilities in my lessons. Additionally, throughout my teaching career I have given up my time to provide remedial lessons to those students who need them and others who seek them out, to help them rise to the increased expectations from examination boards and university admissions. By providing this additional level of support, and through constant monitoring, I have managed to achieve 100% success (A*-C) in external examinations almost every year.
