I am an approachable Chemistry teacher at one of the country’s leading independent schools, with nearly a decade of tutoring experience. I hold a First-Class MSci in Chemistry, where I graduated top of my cohort, and trained at UCL’s Institute of Education as a Royal Society of Chemistry Scholar. I have also received several Chemistry awards and published research in Angewandte Chemie.

I teach GCSE, IGCSE and A-level Chemistry across AQA, Edexcel and OCR, supporting students from those rebuilding their confidence to those aiming for A*, Chemistry Olympiad success and competitive university courses. I have also helped students secure Oxbridge offers and prepare for medicine and other highly selective degrees.

My lessons are warm, engaging and tailored to each student. I break down difficult concepts, identify misconceptions and teach students how to turn their understanding into precise, high-scoring exam answers. As a practising classroom teacher, I have detailed knowledge of current specifications, assessment demands and common areas of difficulty. Above all, I create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, learning from mistakes and developing genuine confidence in Chemistry.

Experience: I bring over 10 years of tutoring experience, alongside completing my PGCE in Chemistry at UCL’s Institute of Education, where I’ve developed a strong foundation in evidence-based, student-centred teaching. I’ve worked with students of all abilities and learning styles, and I firmly believe that every individual processes and learns information differently. That’s why I tailor every session to the unique needs, goals, and learning preferences of each student, ensuring they develop both understanding and confidence.

I foster a positive, open learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and actively engaging with their learning. For me, education goes beyond memorising facts, it’s about building genuine understanding, critical thinking, and curiosity. I aim to make lessons as relevant, interactive, and engaging as possible, drawing not only on my academic knowledge but also on my real-world scientific experience. I have worked in a professional research lab and have published a scientific paper in a peer-reviewed journal, which allows me to connect classroom concepts with real scientific applications and bring science to life for my students.

In addition to my academic and research background, I have worked extensively with students with Special Educational Needs (SEN), including those with ADHD, autism, and social, emotional, and mental health challenges. This has deepened my ability to adapt lessons, provide targeted support, and create an environment where all learners feel included and valued.nd valued.
