Information about Sam

I am a qualified (PGCE/QTS) Chemistry teacher and I have taught for over 20 years in Secondary Schools. I have tutored a large number of successful candidates at GCSE and A-level and can supply written references and recommendations on request.

In terms of my style of teaching it is heavily focused on building a positive relationship with the student. To which end I will always seek to have an informal meeting before I start any tutoring program. This meeting is a chance to break the ice and discuss the aims and areas of focus for the sessions ahead.

I try and tie in not just the pure content of the A-level/GCSE curriculum but also incorporate tasks which challenge misconceptions and aid understanding.
Study skills and revision techniques are also introduced which can be used whilst studying for other exams.

Availability: During the academic year I am available at most times in daytime and evenings, including weekends. I try and keep my availability up to date on the relevant page on my profile.

Willing to travel: 5 miles

Experience: 20 years in State Secondary schools teaching all three Science to GCSE and Chemistry to A-level.
Sixth Form tutor for many years with extensive knowledge of UCAS system.
Highly experienced private tutor at GCSE and A-level
Former examiner with OCR for A-level Chemistry.

12 years of tutoring individual students for AS and A2 Chemistry for OCR A & B (SALTERS), AQA, WJEB, EDEXCL, IB exams

Have used FaceTime successfully for online tutoring in the past

Sam has been excellent . Very flexible and “can do” and after only a couple of lessons, Lyle is much more confident on equations

Tutors Response :

Thank you Helen for your kind words. Lyle has been a pleasure to work with.

We had 7 one hour Sessions with Sam for our son to help with his Chemistry C7 GCSE Paper. Sam was excellent - very professional, well prepared and clearly very knowledgeable on his subject. He provided exam techniques and went through past exam papers for practice. He was willing to perform the sessions over the Internet (my son used Facetime) which really helped with the travel aspect. Sam also provided some hints and tips for Biology & Physics therefore demonstrating his breadth of knowledge across all sciences. Would definitely recommend Sam to other interested parties from GCSE level up to `A`Level and Degree.
