About

I am a highly experienced science teacher with 25 years plus teaching Chemistry (specialist), Physics and Biology up to GCSE level and beyond, with a comprehensive subject knowledge.  I have 10 years plus tutoring experience, and 10 years’ ongoing experience as an Examiner for main exam boards, marking Chemistry papers and working with mark schemes.

For exams, the requirements of the exam board are paramount. I prepare students how to revise most efficiently and structure their answers to score maximum marks. I inspire students and have high expectations and teach according to their needs and provide full support to achieve the best grade for them.

As a tutor, I have sound knowledge of the AQA, EDEXCEL, OCR, WJEC, CIE specifications and board up to GCSE level, including IGCSE.

I privately tutor students, from schools in the surrounding areas, including Camp Hill girls, Bishop Vesey Grammar school, Sutton Girls Grammar School, King Edwards Girls and Boys school, Edgbaston High Girls School, Queen Mary's Grammar School.

I also tutor students across the country from schools:

Winchester School

Kings College School

Queen Elizabeth’s School

St. Dunstan College

Dr. Challoner’s Grammar School

Royal Grammar School Wycombe

Cheadle Hulme School

Manchester Grammar School

Epsom College

Francis Holland Girls School

Stratford Girls Grammar school

With online tutoring now just as common, I also tutor students in Dubai British Schools, Berlin British school and students in China to help them prepare for smooth transition to UK education system.

I am proud of worked with students and their parents to achieve student’s optimum grades and providing added value through my teaching. This is my result overview of academic years 2023-24

Triple Science - 100% achieved grades 7-9

Combined Science - 100% achieved grades 7-8

Foundation Tier - 100 % achieved 5-5

I am a versatile tutor with 10 years plus experience in teaching comprehensive, independent, boarding, and overseas school students online, during a lesson we review exam papers and focus on the questions to highlight the necessary skills and knowledge needed to attain higher grades. Once we have identified gaps in subject knowledge we can then focus on specific skills and topics to build confidence and understanding.

Lessons are personally tailored to student’s needs agreed goals and potential so that the best positive outcome is achieved. As part of the broader plan, we go through range of past papers whilst guidance and feedback are provided to understand the questions and how to structure answers and clearing out any misconceptions.
