Gillian

I`m a Cambridge PhD graduate who loves chemistry and loves teaching chemistry.

For 20 years I have been teaching, in schools and college in USA, and to home educated children (mine included) both in the USA and UK, and have developed a teaching style that relates the world around us to the theory that I am teaching. This can include the chemistry of art, of cleaning, building, cooking, whatever the interests are. It makes the subject relevant.
My youngest GCSE student was 12 and achieved an A*. My oldest student was in her 40s, and preparing for a career in nursing.
I encourage students to come with questions, and we start from there. Either questions about the curriculum, or something they have observed and just want to know the science behind it.
