I have been tutoring since 2017, beginning with 11+ preparation and gradually progressing to teaching older students, including A-level Chemistry. I focus completely on A-Level Chemistry. Over the years, I have developed the ability to adapt my teaching style to suit different ages, abilities and learning needs. I also teach dance and Sunday school, which have further strengthened my communication skills and ability to engage and support learners.

My lessons are structured, interactive and tailored to each student's needs. We start by going through the topic content together, ensuring you understand the key concepts before moving on to exam-style questions. I demonstrate how to approach questions step by step, explaining my thought process and highlighting useful techniques.

You will then have the opportunity to practise similar questions independently, with my guidance and support whenever needed. Once we have completed a topic, we move on to timed exam-style questions to help you apply your knowledge, improve your exam technique and build confidence under exam conditions.

I also take time to identify areas where you may need extra support and revisit topics where necessary. Lessons are adapted as you progress, so we can focus on your individual goals and make the best use of our time together.

I aim to create a supportive and encouraging environment where you feel comfortable asking questions, learning from mistakes and making progress. My goal is not only to help you improve your grades but also to develop your confidence and understanding so you can become a more independent learner.
