Tristan

DBS-checked PGCE Chemistry trainee with GITEP and the University of Bristol, currently teaching Years 7 to 12 in Gloucester. Former lead data engineer at Pfizer, so I link classroom science to real-world applications. I specialise in AQA GCSE Chemistry and KS3 Science, and I also support A level Chemistry and A level Biology.
I was tutored from D grades to A grades while managing ADHD, so I build SEN-aware routines and connect well with learners who find focus difficult. Lessons are calm, structured, and exam-focused. I use optical illusions and puzzles to spark curiosity and flexible problem solving. Degrees: BSc Biomedical Science and MSc Computer Science (thesis in interpretable machine learning/AI) from the University of Kent. Founder of the Kent DJ and Music Production Society and Kent Esports Society.

In person in Cheltenham, Gloucester, and Stroud. Online across the UK. For in-person lessons a small travel supplement may apply for longer distances. My policy is 24 hours’ notice for cancellations.
