For the past 8 years I’ve helped students transform chemistry from a jumble of formulas into a story that makes sense. Whether you’re preparing for GCSE/IGCSE, A-Level, IB, AP or an introductory university course, my lessons are interactive, analogy-rich and driven by your questions.
Lesson format
• Warm-up: a quick diagnostic quiz so I know exactly where you’re stuck.
• Concept mapping: we co-create visual notes that link atomic structure ? bonding ? energetics, so you see the “big picture.”
• Guided practice: you solve past-paper or homework problems live while I coach your thinking process step-by-step.
• Mini-lab demos: using household items and a document camera, I show real-time experiments to cement abstract ideas.
• Take-away toolkit: every session ends with a concise summary sheet, colour-coded flashcards and a short video recap.
Teaching style
I blend Socratic questioning with evidence-based techniques (spaced repetition, retrieval practice and dual-coding) so knowledge sticks long after the exam. Students describe my sessions as “clear, energetic and confidence-boosting.”
Experience & results
• MSc in Physical Chemistry (Distinction).
• Former examiner for Cambridge International.
• Over 3 000 tutoring hours logged; typical grade uplift: two bands in under a term.
• Mentored multiple Olympiad finalists and pre-med students now thriving at top universities.
If you want to move from memorising to truly understanding chemistry—and enjoy the journey—let’s schedule a trial lesson and design a study plan tailored to your goals!
