Information about Karen
I am a qualified science teacher with 13 years experience. I currently teach in person as well as on line using Zoom. I use interactive software which allows students to engage actively with learning and resources.
This has proved very successful and students have made excellent progress.
I teach in a way that develops my students` enthusiasm for learning while ensuring that they gain all the knowledge and skills required to shine in science.
I encourage my students to be curious, to ask questions and most importantly to challenge themselves. They then become confident in expressing their ideas using clear scientific language
I teach all UK examination boards at secondary level.
Specifically:
A level chemistry, IB Chemistry, GCSE Chemistry, GCSE Biology, GCSE Physics, Double Award GCSE science, BTEC and KS3 science for younger students.
I am very patient and have the flexibility to adapt my teaching style to match a student`s needs. I am also skilled at explaining scientific concepts so that the student truly understands the topic. I have many interactive resources to suit the varied learning styles of my students.
I followed a successful international career in research and development after completing my PhD. This experience is extremely useful in helping students to develop the independent learning and scientific investigation skills for their coursework tasks.

Prompt response and good communication. Dr Karen is patient, flexible and genuinely enjoys what she teaches (in our opinion this is the magic formula for the most effective educators!)

Karen was an amazing tutor who enabled me to restore my confidence and ability in Chemistry as a subject. She answered all my questions and took me through whole topics in order to help me understand topics I had difficulty with.
