About
Hello! I am a qualified Chemistry Teacher with over 20 years of teaching experience, including as Head of Chemistry in a Boys’ Grammar school, and in my last role as Head of Chemistry at a Private College.
I love tutoring and am proud that nearly all of my students last year achieved an A* or A, with many progressing to Medicine or Dentistry.
I have extensive knowledge of the Edexcel, AQA, OCR and CIE Chemistry specifications at both A‑Level and GCSE, including Edexcel IGCSE. As a specialist Chemistry Teacher, I also deliver all Core Practical skills required at A‑Level.
Alongside teaching, I work as a GCSE and A‑Level Examiner for Edexcel, giving me deep insight into how exam questions are marked and standardised. This means I have vast experience in how to structure high‑scoring exam answers, avoid common pitfalls, and apply mark‑scheme logic with precision.
I am therefore fully equipped to support students from any exam board and help them achieve top‑level outcomes.
I teach in a way that most students have never experienced. Every lesson is built from scratch, for one student, in that moment. No recycled slides or generic PowerPoints; just live, bespoke handwritten notes crafted in GoodNotes, with carefully selected exam questions that best match the topic. This gives each student absolute clarity and a structure designed precisely for their pace, their gaps, and their ambitions.
I am confident teaching any A-Level Chemistry topic on demand, and I enjoy producing clean, high‑quality notes that help students understand even the most challenging concepts.

Reviews from First Tutors
Imported from Lakhvir'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.

Lakhvir is a very helpful and engaging tutor. My daughter has greatly benefitted from her lessons and she is very thorough when going through the A Level Chemistry content. As per my daughter, her lessons are easy to understand and she always asks questions throughout the sessions to make sure she has full understanding of the topic. She always send the online notes taken during class which my daughter found very useful. I highly recommend her.

She is very thorough when going through topics and I always feel much more confident after going through the content with her; I particularly like her use of online notes which are accessible even after sessions to look back on.

My daughter had only positive comments for Lakhvir's teaching style during her tutoring of A-Level Chemistry. Lakhvir was kind, accommodating and taught with simplicity, yet detail. There were resources that could be referred back to and were incredibly useful, and many questions provided to her for practice. We would highly recommend her! We wish she did other subjects also

Lakhvir has been an extremely engaging and helpful tutor for my daughter to have a few catch up chemistry lessons before going into Y11. I can’t recommend her highly enough. Thank you.

My daughter came to me and asked for some help with her A Level. She was strong in her Organic chemistry but was feeling less confident in inorganic and wanted that extra push-up so she could go for an A grade at A level. Today, she got an A grade and the support from Lakhvir has helped her achieve her goals. Thank you Lakhvir.

Lakhvir has kindly accommodated my son at very short notice with preparations for his final A level chemistry exams. She is extremely responsive and works hard to find time to offer tuition at this busy time. Lakhvir has excellent subject knowledge and her experience as an examiner gives her a significant advantage as a premium tutor. Thank you for all your support Lakhvir

I have struggled with chemistry for quite a while and have had a problem with A-level teachers being absent for a lot of the course. Lakhvir has really helped me understand the content I had previously not understood and will also take a different approach to explaining the problem if I still am unsure. She has really helped to improve my confidence in chemistry and has made me feel comfortable with voicing when I don't understand something.
