I have many years experience as an industrial chemist and laboratory manager. I finally decided to follow my dream of teaching about 18 years ago and haven`t looked back since. I am a fully qualified and registered teacher with the GTCW and have a current CRB check.

I believe in a relaxed style to teaching/tutoring where the pace of the lesson is determined by you. I am very patient and allow as much time as necessary on a topic until you have a complete understanding.
Where possible I use demonstrations to relate the work to real life situations and regularly use a laptop to provide an alternative way to learning.
I have access to past paper questions that are relevant to the course that you are studying and use examiner`s mark schemes to show you what they are looking for when marking exam papers.
Included is email/text support in between lessons and where appropriate will set additional work for you to complete.
On-line tuition with a web cam using Skype or Zoom has become more popular in the last year and I have successfully helped many students in this way for many years and this is only £30/Hr.

Availability: Weekday Evenings and Weekends. Also on-line using Skype or Zoom.

Willing to travel: 30 miles

Experience: After qualifying I worked, as a supply teacher, in many schools throughout South Wales teaching KS3 & KS4 Science and AS/A2 Chemistry, so have gained much experience with most exam boards. I also taught A level chemistry in evening classes in a college in Cardiff for several years.
For 2 years I was the second in science and KS3 Science co-ordinator in a Cardiff school.
I am now the Head of Faculty for Science & Technology in a school in Powys, a role I have enjoyed for the last 5 years.
