Holly Hong

Hi, I’m Holly. I recently graduated from UCL with a BSc in Natural Sciences, where I specialised in Synthetic Organic Chemistry and Molecular and Cellular Biology. I took A-level Chemistry alongside Maths (A*), Biology and Physics, so I know the exam content well and I’ve used it at university level too.
I’ve found that chemistry gets much easier once the ideas connect, rather than being a list of facts to memorise. I like starting from why something happens, whether that’s a reaction mechanism or an unfamiliar calculation, and then working towards exam technique. Outside my degree, I’ve spent several years guiding students and their families through UK school admissions, so I’m used to explaining things clearly, adapting to each person and keeping them motivated when it feels difficult.
I’m a native English and Chinese speaker, so I’m happy to explain ideas in Mandarin if that helps. My sessions are friendly and focused, and you’re always welcome to ask questions.
If you’d like help with GCSE or A-level Chemistry, get in touch and we can talk about where you are now and where you’d like to be.
