James

I am currently a senior industrial chemist at a pharmaceutical company in Sandwich, after graduating from Imperial College in 2016 with an MSci and PhD.
I built a tutoring business while writing my thesis and due to the enjoyment and satisfaction I found in teaching and helping students achieve the grades they wanted, have decided to continue while working in industry.
Coming from a highly technical field, my approach to tutoring is through demonstration and examples. Learning is best achieved when the core principles are presented in a memorable way. This has allowed me to explain difficult concepts in ways that are easily understood and remembered.
I am concise, patient and friendly in all of my teaching.

Availability: All times

Willing to travel: 30 miles

Experience: A core requirement of a PhD is the teaching of undergraduate students. This included personal tutoring to groups of 8 students, lab demonstration of essential techniques, marking of examination papers and personal supervision of the work, safety and well-being of MSci students. I have received awards for my teaching at Imperial College, as well as the personal gratitude of many of the students I have supervised.
In addition, as project leader I have learned the best ways to encourage and promote the best from those I work with.
During my time tutoring I have had many happy and satisfied students and have gained experience in all exam boards, especially the iGCSE and Cambridge Pre-U syllabuses.
