My A-Level Chemistry lessons are designed to make even the most challenging concepts clear, engaging, and manageable. Each session follows a structured yet flexible format, starting with a short review of previous topics or exam-style questions to check understanding. We then move into a focused teaching segment, where I break down new material into simple, logical steps using diagrams, analogies, and real-world applications.

As a Medical Student at the University of Cambridge who achieved an A* in A-Level Chemistry (top 3% in my school)*, I draw on both my academic background and personal experience of mastering AQA content to guide students effectively. I’m very familiar with the specification and exam techniques required to achieve top grades, and I provide targeted practice questions, topic summaries, and tailored study materials to reinforce learning.

My lessons are highly interactive — I encourage students to explain concepts back to me, ask questions freely, and tackle problems collaboratively. I focus not just on memorisation, but on developing a deep understanding of chemical principles and their connections across topics like organic mechanisms, thermodynamics, and kinetics.

Above all, I aim to build confidence in the approach and execution of the A-Level material. Students often tell me my patient approach and clear explanations help them see Chemistry in a more simple and understandable way - rather than the dawning subject that it seemed. Whether you’re looking to solidify your fundamentals or push for an A*, I can assure that each lesson moves you closer to your academic goals.
