Information about Sheena

I have a BSc degree in Chemistry and am currently completing a second degree in Chemistry in the Natural Sciences context. I work as a Chemist and a private tutor. I have experience working in Aerospace and also as a mineral chemist. I have studied Maths alongside Chemistry as a prerequisite and have experience tutoring both Maths and Chemistry. I have an A in A level English and am a published poet so also tutor English upto GCSE.

I am a patient tutor who uses a variety of methods depending on what suits my students. Each person has their own unique way of learning and I feel that finding the best method for each individual is the ideal way to tutor I:1. I also strongly encourage doing as many past papers as possible as this is one of the best exam technique that ensures success. Where a student is keen and has the extra time, I do give homework which I mark in my own time and provide feedback which can be discussed in the following lesson.
