Daniel E.
Private School A-Level and GCSE Chemistry Teacher/Head of Chemistry
About
I have over 25 years teaching experience in private schools including six years as Head of Chemistry at Oundle School. In addition, I have written many revision guides for Letts and been a full time tutor for the last few years. I am patient, friendly and very skilled in helping you achieve top grades. I focus on understanding and applying your knowledge and so we will work through a lot of past exam questions/papers together.

Reviews from First Tutors
Imported from Daniel E.'s First Tutors profile before the site went dark. Shown separately from Tutorperch reviews — today they don't feed this tutor's Tutorperch rating or ranking.
How we verify these
Each imported review went through admin review. The tutor proved ownership of the First Tutors profile via one of two paths:
- Photo match. The First Tutors avatar matched the tutor's identity-verified Tutorperch photo, confirmed by admin.
- Cryptographic email check. The tutor uploaded an original First Tutors email (.eml). We verified the DKIM signature against First Tutors' signing keys and cross-checked the embedded tutor ID against the claimed profile.
The review text is the original reviewer's own words, quoted as-is. We verified the tutor's ownership of the profile, not the truth of what each individual reviewer wrote.

Dan has been very helpful in supporting Chemistry A Level. His extensive knowledge and teaching experience shines through when explaining the subject whilst also making lessons fun and interesting. A reminder than learning is also about enjoyment (in addition to taking tests!). He is very positive and looks to bring the best out of his students. Highly recommend.

Dan explains things really well. He is very nice and our daughter doesn’t feel judged if she gets things wrong. Dan teaches with kindness and compassion. He is very able, competent and professional and we feel confident in him as a teacher. He really knows his stuff and also knows how to put this over. After each session our daughter has said she got a lot out of it. We very highly recommend Dan.
Daniel E. replied

Dan is a very professional and effective tutor. After only a few sessions, our daughter improved her confidence and school results! She remarked at how Dan was able to clarify lots of areas and enable her to make relevant links between different aspects. Well done, Dan! And many thanks indeed! Mrs M

Dan is an excellent tutor. He has a superb knowledge of chemistry and was able to tailor the sessions on the fly to whatever areas of the syllabus that my daughter needed help with that day. He is also very personable, flexible, and extremely easy to work with -- my daughter really looked forward to her lessons every week. Further, he went out of his way to organize some lab time for my daughter, who is home educated and doesn't have access to a lab. The 92% A* that she got on her Chemistry IGCSE, which she took 3 years early, is thanks to Dan and his enthusiasm for the subject.

My daughter has found Dan extremely helpful. He explains things clearly and has helped her feel much more confident about her A2 exams. He has pinpointed areas which they are going to work on and improve her revision and exam techniques. He has a lovely manner and is enthusiastic and knowledgeable.

My son was floundering with his Chemistry GCSE and then we found Dan with First Tutors. In two months Dan has turned my son's Chemistry around from a shaky C to what he is now hoping to be a high A grade. Dan is an extremely professional and personable tutor and has given my son so much confidence in Chemistry that he actually likes the subject now. Dan's enthusiasm rubbed off onto my son and it was a great pleasure to see him beaming when he came out of each IGCSE exam. Dan also gave me regular feedback which was extremely helpful. I highly recommend Dan both for GCSE and A Level and my son says, "I found Dan very encouraging and one of the best teachers I have ever had."
