At the school that I work for I currently hold the position of Director of Science. I have being teaching Science GCSE and A-level Chemistry for the past 8 years. I am a fantastic teacher with my lessons always being judged as good or outstanding. I have an excellent record of getting good grades out of the students I teach. I have experience of teaching all examination boards and I am well aware of the style of answers that are expected for all examination boards. I teach in different innovative away that help children to remember. Before becoming a teacher I worked as a pharmaceutical chemist in the research industry, which has given me a really insight into working in the science industry. I was an A grade student at school and attended Wolverhampton Girls High School one of the top schools in the country. The A-level chemistry students that I taught last year all achieved above a grade B at A-level, 11 students out of 17 achieved a grade A/A*.

My son has only just started being tutored by Saphrina and already he has to understand the topic of organic chemistry better. Saphrina initially asked him what he wanted from the lessons and what he wanted to learn/improve on and I know she has adhered to that. Thank you Saphrina.

Saphrina, in the lessons we have had so far , has been fantastic. She has really helped me to understand and reinforce the topics we have covered. She clearly knows her stuff, is very supportive and has given me some great guidance on exam and question technique. I look forward to continuing my sessions with her.

My son only had one lesson with her but she was brilliant. That one lesson money was well spent. My son needed a push for his exam to cover one topic and she exactly did that.
