Marguerite O'neill

I am an experienced Chemistry teacher working in an inner city London comprehensive school. I am Head of Faculty of a large science department and teach Chemistry to A level, and Biology and Physics to GCSE. I hold a first class honours degree in chemistry and completed my teacher training (chemistry) with King’s College London. In addition I am an examiner for one of the larger exam boards. I have recently completed an MA in Science Education. I am originally from Ireland and have also taught in the UAE. I have been based in the United Kingdom since 2015.

Timing wise, I am extremely flexible and, indeed, punctual. I have an innate feature of make learning energetic and bringing about enthusiasm within students so that they continue to harness their learning naturally, without my presence. One main aim of my tutoring position is to employ students with key skills needed to efficiently revise, especially independently. Thus during crucial tuition periods, more time is spent approaching exam content, such as examination questions and reports and picking upon more complex revision content. However, all content is still taught from basic to the most highest of levels, to ensure full understanding of all topics as a whole. My students excel beyond teaching content in class and expected grades. I am a very efficient, yet calm and tutor and have a large amount of teaching experience which I would like to emanate.

I offer lessons at evenings and weekends both online and in person.
