The study of Chemistry helps a student to learn how to be objective, analytical, methodical, and problem-solving. You can apply these skills outside academia, particularly in understanding current events. There are a wide range of Chemistry-related degrees available, including Analytical Chemistry, Biochemistry, Environmental Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry and Polymer and Materials Chemistry. These degrees in turn can lead to a range of careers as varied as medicine, dentistry, forensic chemistry, geochemistry, R & D management, pharmacy, chemical engineering, petroleum engineering and perfumery.

This course will support students studying A Level Chemistry, including the AQA, Edexcel and OCR exam boards.

About Me
Students would describe me as fun and relatable. I know my subjects really well, but I know a lot of other really interesting things too; this allows me to take abstract or specialised ideas and make them relevant to the student and the world we inhabit.

I'm slightly mad about football and rugby while I'm passionate about music. Having travelled and worked around the world, I also have a rich appreciation of the world's diverse cultures.
Education
MA Pastoral Theology, Heythrop College (University of London)
BSc Biochemistry with Hons. UCL

I specialise in tutoring science, maths and English. This class is for children from lower years, all subjects are taught up to year 9 (if you would like GCSE level please have a look at my other class). My goal is to keep students challenged and interested in their work, but not overwhelmed. I can assign homework after every lesson if the child and parent would like this. I provide periodic progress reports making sure the parents/carers are involved in the learning of the child and to track their progress too.

I'm a school teacher who is based in London. I have been a certified teacher for about a year and a half, and my main subjects are science, biology, social science, and math. I also teach music, and used to be a piano teacher at a studio in Canada for 10 years. I can help with test preparation, essay writing, homework completion, reading, and general support. I have taught students aged 3 to adult. I can tailor classes to suit my students' needs, whether it's 30 minutes or 2 hours. I can meet via webcam, or at the students' home if the location isn't too far.

I've completed my GCSEs a little over a year ago , I'm on here to fund myself in the future (primarily university) .
I've averaged above an A (above grade 7) overall with recent experience and am still attending sixth form . Because of this I'll be able to easily relate to and figure out the needs of my tutee as I was in their position not too long ago .
I myself studied based on topic rather than necessarily textbooks , this means that I can make due with any textbook or other material (this accounts for difference in exam boards).
I can teach a concept from the ground up , or to solidify knowledge on topics as well as teach the basic principles for understanding the topic in the first place . I'm especially good at understanding and taking advantage of mark schemes to maximise grades , despite if the topic is completely unbeknownst to you . Though this seems minor , this tactic means you'll almost never score zero marks on a question . Ergo : if you can do half of the questions on a 100 mark test you'll get around 50 marks (high C to low B grade , grade 5 to 6) however even without understanding the rest it's easy to get at least another 15 marks up to around 25 (you usually cannot get over half marks without getting close to the answer , which is why half the remaining marks is a typical maximum) putting your grade up to to a minimum of a strong B or a maximum of a solid A (min of a grade 6 and max of grade 8) all of which requires minimal work which you won't forget . In English a similar thing can be done with punctuation , so long as you use a type of punctuation once ; you can score easy additional marks and get more marks on other criteria due to the examiner's bias . This is my forté .

Strong numerical skills are essential for everyone. If you're looking to take things a step further and dive deeper into the fascinating world of equations and numbers to uncover their meanings, I'll guide you through them in a way best suited to your needs.

The lessons will include:
* A brief discussion of the topics and concepts to be covered
* Learning outcomes and potential future applications
* Highlighting key concepts and understanding their origins or derivations
* Focusing on understanding (rather than simply memorizing) the concepts and equations
* Practical examples of varying difficulty
* And possibly some homework :)

P.S. If you have a specific need, I will do my best to accommodate it.
