Vicki

Online Physics and Chemistry Tutor

Hi there. My name is Vicki and I was a Vice Principal and teacher of Science at a high school in Leeds but am currently on maternity leave. My degree is in Chemistry but I taught Biology and Physics to GCSE level for 15 years. I'm a great advocate of giving young people the tools to succeed in whatever they put their mind to.

Please get in touch to find out my specific availability as I understand the need to be flexible.

Tutoring Experience

I have been teaching 15 years and when it comes to exam time, I enjoy giving private tuition so I can really make a difference! I have tutored students in small groups and individually to increase their confidence and enjoyment in Science which means they always achieve their potential.
I have experience teaching students with additional needs and English as an Additional Language. I love making students feel successful which in turn makes them love Science.

Tutoring Approach

I understand the stresses of revision and exams and have a good knowledge of the best ways to learn and remember information as well as apply it. I try to mix it up to keep even the most boring topics, more exciting!
Not being at school for a long time because of the pandemic has really taken its toll on young people and I am here to catch students up and prepare them for their next step in education.
I really enjoy teaching small groups as it enables me to build a rapport very quickly and get to know students so I can personalise their learning experience.
