So you have a goal, a treasured dream? Perhaps you'd love to work in science, tech, engineering or maths? But your chemistry is letting you down?

I'm a coach and tutor who loves to help individuals achieve their learning and life goals. I've helped my clients qualify for their chosen career paths – in dentistry, physiotherapy and chemistry. I tutor chemistry at iGCSE, IB level and A level – drawing on my background as a medical / science journalist and as an Oxford University chemist.

Chemistry is the study of electrons – and who gets to see one of those in everyday life? Perhaps that's why chemistry remains a mystery for many.

There are 11 basic ideas of chemistry you must master up to age 18 – and it's really common to get the wrong idea about one or more of these.

A big part of my job is to uncover the sources of your confusions, helping you understand clearly at a gut level – then you will naturally remember whatever you need on exam day.

My job is to turn the abstract into something you can see, hear, touch and even smell – and give you space to think out loud and explore and be curious.

Often we will start with real exam questions, and work back through the concepts ... fitting them together like lego bricks... this way you will safely arrive at the correct answers. This is the kind of deep learning that stays with you for years to come and you can trust in the examination hall, no matter how nervous you feel.

So write and tell me –
1. what is your goal and why is it important to you?
2. What exam course are you doing?
3. What obstacle do you need help overcoming?

I am an experienced university teacher in chemistry, biochemistry and biology. I make chemistry, biochemistry and biology lessons for high school and university students (graduate and post graduate level) tailored on students needs, especially in the fields of inorganic chemistry, nuclear-/radiochemistry, analytical chemistry, basics in physical and organic chemistry, environmental chemistry, soil chemistry, cell chemistry/cell biology, basics in microbiology, human anatomy and physiology.

The specific topics within chemistry can be e.g. Atoms, Molecules, and Ions, Stoichiometry, Chemical Reactions and Solution Stoichiometry, Gases, Thermochemistry, Atomic Structure and Periodicity, Bonding: General Concepts, Covalent Bonding: Orbitals, Liquids and Solids, Properties of Solutions, Chemical Kinetics, Chemical Equilibrium, Acids and Bases, Acid-Base Equilibria, Solubility and Complex Ion Equilibria, Spontaneity, Entropy, and Free Energy, Electrochemistry, Radiochemistry: radiation types, actinides, isotopes etc., Transition Metals and Coordination Chemistry, Organic and Biological Molecules.

The topics for biochemistry tutoring can cover e.g. Eukaryotic cell structure, DNA and RNA structure, Proteins structure and translation, DNA replication, RNA: Transcription, Biotechnology: Recombinant DNA, Gene expression, Enzymes: Kinetics, Biological membranes: Structure, Receptors.

For microbiology tutoring for example following topics can be taught: Types of microorganisms, Staining, Prokaryotic cells, Prokaryotic diversity, Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, Habitats, Microbiomes, Archaea, Isolation of bacteria and fungi, Microbial growth, Environmental microbiology.

Human anatomy and physiology e.g.: Structure of cell, Cell growth and division, Cellular differentiation, Tissues (Epithelial, Connective, Muscle, Nervous), Nervous system (e.g. action potential, receptors, ganglia), Cardiovascular system, Respiratory system, Digestive system and metabolism, Urinary system, Lymphatic and Immune system.

Here's some information about me :)

I have a Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Helsinki (Finland) and I am experienced in teaching high school and university students (both at the Bachelor's and Master's levels as an adjunct professor). In addition to the tutoring, I revise study essays, lab reports etc. as well.

Please, feel free to contact me specifying the topics/fields of chemistry/biology that you are looking tutoring for, and we can discuss the study plan then further.

My purpose here is to share the profound wisdom I’ve come to understand
I was born into Hinduism, but as an atheist, I often questioned whether I should follow it or reject it. For a long time, I chose to defy it. Yet, over the years, as I explored and understood more, I began to see the depth of its wisdom.

Behind the myths and rituals, I found layers of science, psychology, and philosophy. What once felt like blind tradition started revealing itself as profound knowledge about life, the cosmos, and human well-being.

It truly blew my mind to see how something I once dismissed could transform into a source of awe and understanding.
Below you will find a small snippet of its beauty:

One such intriguing idea, passed down through generations, became a cornerstone of Indian culture. Thousands of years ago, a thought arose in the mind of one of the most selfless humans I can imagine: “God lives everywhere — even in a simple stone.”

At first glance, it may seem strange, even naïve, to build an entire culture around such a belief. But look deeper — it wasn’t just mysticism. It was wisdom. Without such ideas, the selfish instincts of humans might have destroyed much of nature long ago.

Take the great Banyan tree in my own backyard. If not for the belief that “God lives in all things,” that tree might have been cut down generations ago. And with it, countless childhood memories — mine, and thousands of others like me — would have been lost.

This is why, in ancient times, temples were often built near old trees. Our ancestors, with their brilliant insight into human nature, understood a harsh truth: “We are our own worst enemy.” To counter this, they used faith itself as a strategy — channeling the idea of God to protect our co-dependents in nature and to preserve the ecological balance.

It was never really the irregularly shaped stone that saved the Banyan tree — it was the faith embedded in our culture. If a single idea could protect entire ecosystems and prevent our own extinction, then that idea was undeniably powerful. So powerful that it etched itself into human memory, passing through generations like a genetic imprint of wisdom.
