In tutoring students, lessons would be based on both the core content of a topic, exam-based questions, and homework assignments to be marked and worked through together. Here, topics that students may find challenging will be broken down into bite-sized chunks to help them gain an understanding of the complex concepts in A-level Chemistry. Additionally, I take a holistic approach to tutoring, where it is not only the teaching of content and its application to questions, but also how a student maintains their learning through advice on revision methods and the key question of how to revise best. Furthermore, I understand that in tutoring, not all students have the same goals, ranging from securing a pass to achieving an A*. Therefore, I adapt both the content covered and the questions set to match this.

I am familiar with AQA A-level Chemistry, one of the main exam boards in the North East of England, to which students will benefit from exam board-tailored questions aligned with their specification.

I offer regular weekly tutoring available online or in-person, although I prefer an in-person approach for maximum benefit! In-person lessons are provided in a professional, supportive and safe learning environment. I have a PVG certificate (Scottish equivalent of DBS) from my time mentoring in Scotland.
