Laure Finat-Duclos

My tutoring approach is structured, supportive, and tailored to each student’s needs. I focus on helping students develop a real understanding of chemistry, rather than simply memorising content, so they can confidently apply their knowledge to unfamiliar exam questions.

With over 15 years of classroom experience, I place a strong emphasis on exam technique and problem-solving. Sessions often include past paper practice, step-by-step explanations, and guidance on how to interpret mark schemes, helping students understand exactly how examiners award marks and how to avoid common mistakes.

I also provide clear explanations, targeted practice questions, and additional notes where helpful, ensuring students consolidate their learning and build confidence as they progress through the course.

My aim is to create a calm, encouraging learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, developing their understanding, and ultimately achieving their best in their exams.
