I'm a qualified Teacher of Science (QTS) with a BSc in Chemistry and an MSc in Pharmaceutical Analysis and Quality Control from King's College London. I currently serve as Head of Year at a London secondary school and have spent nearly a decade as Head of Chemistry. I'm also an examiner, which means I know exactly what mark schemes reward and where students typically lose marks.

I have a genuine passion for teaching and enjoy working with students of all abilities and ages — from those who need to rebuild confidence and secure the fundamentals, to those aiming for top grades who need stretch and challenge to get there. I hold high expectations for myself and for my students, and I take real pride in the outcomes that individual tuition can achieve.

Over 15 years of classroom experience, teaching Years 7 to 13 since entering the profession Nearly a decade as Head of Chemistry Currently Head of Year Qualified examiner Twelve years of private tutoring at secondary level, working with pupils from a wide range of schools across KS3, GCSE, and AS/A2, with very positive feedback from students and parents alike

Subjects & Exam Boards

GCSE Biology — AQA, Edexcel, OCR (Combined & Triple Science) GCSE Chemistry — AQA, Edexcel, OCR (Combined & Triple Science) GCSE Physics — AQA, Edexcel, OCR (Combined & Triple Science) A-Level Chemistry — AQA, Edexcel, OCR

With experience across all major exam boards and both Combined and Triple Science routes, I tailor sessions to your child's exact specification, command words, and mark scheme style.

Sessions flex to your child's actual needs, whether that's:

Keeping pace with current classwork Homework support End-of-unit test preparation Mock exam preparation Final exam preparation Targeted work on specific weak topics

I focus on three things in every session: understanding the core concept, seeing how it applies in practice, and knowing how it's actually examined. I use a mix of textbooks, exam-style and past-paper questions, and digital resources, and I provide handouts, reading material and exam questions with their respective mark schemes to support learning between sessions.

Every student gets a tailored study plan with clear, trackable goals — so progress is visible, not just hoped for. All students make excellent progress, with the majority exceeding their full potential.

My mission: to help your child build genuine understanding, confidence, and the results to match.
