Qualified teacher - MSci Chemistry + PGCE in Secondary Science with Chemistry. 800+ hours of experience teaching from years 7-13.

Tutoring Experience

As soon as I qualified as a teacher in 2021, I entered the tutoring business. I have been teaching chemistry, biology and physics over the past two years across various platforms, helping 40+ students from years 7-13, over a total of 800+ hours.

Tutoring Approach

Special offer
I am migrating from another tutoring website who have just massively raised their commission fee (Removed - see my profile there for reviews and proof of hours taught). Due to extensive experience, I usually charge £60/h, but for my first three students on FirstTutors this year, I’ll keep the price at £40/h!

To learn by enduring through tiresome lectures, or by mundane repetition, is not only dull but ineffective! I employ a conversational approach: through amusing debates and thought-provoking questions I aim to find and correct misconceptions, nurture a solid understanding, and above all keep lessons interesting and engaging. I encourage students to work out answers by thinking deeply about the theory behind what is being learnt, rather than repeating what they have memorised. I firmly believe in reviewing previously studied content on a regular basis - a crucial practice as it facilitates the storage of information into your long-term memory to allow for quick recall with minimal effort. I aim to provide carefully planned, personalised tuition that makes use of research-approved pedagogical techniques to ensure rapid progress.

In a typical lesson you can expect:
- A starter activity involving short questions, tailored to you, about what you have learnt in past lessons
- Teaching in bite-sized chunks followed by intervals of short questions
- Ample opportunity for exam practice, with strategically selected past paper questions from your exam board
