Information about Sheila

I have 35 years of successfully teaching Chemistry up to A level standard at both Grammar and Independent schools. I have extensive knowledge of AQA and OCR Chemistry and am very familiar with the current changes which began Sept 2015 and affect AS and A level.

My approach involves:
-detailed explanation of particular topics with additional notes if required
- thorough examination of mark schemes to improve technique
- additional questions for completion at student`s home when their confidence has been increased

Group Tuition: I will consider small group tuition (2/3 students) in particular cases

£50 per hour A level


Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: Teaching GCSE and A level Chemistry for 35 years.

Qualifications: 1st Class Honours degree from the University of Manchester.

Accommodating, reliable. My daughter found Sheila’s experience of AqA Chemistry gave her confidence in their sessions and my daughter finds the lessons beneficial in supporting her for her A level mocks. We tried a couple of tutors and found Sheila to be the best fit for our daughters needs. Benefitted from a introductory chat to establish learning needs but Sheila is responsive to students queries and my daughter feels at ease in sessions.

Thank you very much for these comments

If I could give Sheila more than 5 stars I would . My daughter was struggling with her GCSE Chemistry and she had started to lack confidence. Shiela`s calm and methodical approach had a great impact in a short space of time . My daughters confidence grew , not just in chemistry, and her grades improved. Thank you Sheila

My daughter has had three lessons for A level Chemistry with Sheila so far. Sheila has a lovely, calm teaching manner and explains things in a very easy to understand way. Sheila not only teaches the subject, but helps my daughter understand how and why you get to a particular answer. I feel like my daughter already has a better understanding in areas of Chemistry that she has been taught at college.

Tutors Response :

Thank you very much Karan.
