Examiner-Led Chemistry Tuition | GCSE, IGCSE, A level, IB

I am a highly experienced Chemistry specialist with over 20 years’ teaching and examining experience, working with students aiming for top grades and competitive university pathways.

I am currently:

Assistant Principal Examiner for Chemistry

Former admissions test question writer for Oxford University (BMSAT)

Invited contributor to other elite university admissions assessments

My teaching is firmly rooted in how marks are actually awarded. I support students not only in mastering Chemistry content, but in developing the precision, structure and exam judgement required for the highest grades.

I typically work with:

GCSE, IGCSE and A level students targeting grades 8–9 / A–A*

IB students aiming for 6–7

Oxbridge and Medicine applicants

Home-educated and internationally educated students

High-performing students who want examiner-level insight

My approach is strategic and individualised. Lessons focus on:

Examiner-style feedback aligned with real mark schemes

High-level exam question analysis

Closing the gap between strong understanding and top-band answers

Availability: I work with a small number of students only and operate a long-standing waiting list. Enquiries are reviewed carefully to ensure a good fit.
