My online lessons are carefully structured, highly engaging, and completely focused on helping students achieve their best possible grades. I use clear, visually appealing PowerPoint presentations to break down complex scientific concepts into simple, logical steps, making even the most challenging topics feel manageable. Alongside this, we build concise, exam-focused notes together during the lesson so students leave with high-quality revision material tailored to their understanding.

To keep lessons interesting and memorable, I connect scientific ideas to real-world applications, current discoveries, and everyday examples, helping students see the relevance of what they are learning. I use interactive quizzes, problem-solving activities, mini whiteboard tasks, and discussion questions to ensure students are actively involved throughout, rather than passively listening. This constant engagement helps build confidence and deeper understanding.

I regularly assess progress through exam-style questions and structured past paper practice, teaching students how to decode mark schemes and master exam technique. I place strong emphasis on command words, timing strategies, and how to structure high-mark answers effectively. Targeted homework is set after each lesson to consolidate learning, address weaker areas, and stretch higher-ability students where appropriate.

Above all, my approach is supportive and encouraging. I create a positive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes, knowing this is part of progress. This combination of clarity, interaction, structured practice, and consistent feedback ensures students not only understand the content but can apply it confidently to secure top grades.

People I have tutored in the past have been able to jump from level 3-4 students to 7-9 students in a matter of months.
