I am a Master’s student in Forensic Science and a graduate in Industrial Chemistry from Kenya, with a strong academic foundation in chemistry and its practical applications. I am interested in helping students understand chemistry in a clear, supportive, and engaging way. My background has given me experience with the scientific principles that underpin chemistry, including how substances are structured, how they react, and how chemical knowledge can be applied to real-world problems.
As a tutor, I would aim to make chemistry feel understandable rather than intimidating. Many students find the subject challenging because it combines abstract ideas, calculations, practical concepts, and a large amount of scientific vocabulary. I would break topics into manageable steps, explain the reasoning behind each concept, and check understanding as we go. Instead of simply asking a student to memorise facts or formulas, I would help them see how the ideas fit together and how to apply them to different questions.
My academic training in Industrial Chemistry has provided a broad grounding in chemical principles and their relevance beyond the classroom. Studying chemistry at degree level has involved developing a careful, methodical approach to scientific information, interpreting concepts, and working through problems logically. My current Master’s studies in Forensic Science continue to build on that foundation by connecting scientific knowledge with analysis and evidence. This helps me explain why accuracy, observation, and clear reasoning matter in science. I can also use relevant examples, where appropriate, to show students how chemistry contributes to areas such as materials, industry, laboratory analysis, and forensic investigations.
I would adapt my teaching to the individual student’s needs, current level, and goals. Some learners benefit from clear verbal explanations; others learn best by working through examples, drawing diagrams, practising calculations, or reviewing a topic in smaller sections. I would first try to understand what the student already knows, which areas they find difficult, and what they hope to achieve. From there, I could help them build a learning plan focused on the topics that need the most attention. I would
