I am a recent graduate of Nottingham Trent University having earned himself a 2:1 in Chemistry. I have tutored GCSE and AS and A Level Chemistry, Maths and Physics for more than two years now.

From my experience, the majority of the struggling students in these subjects are not lack ability. They only have missed a crucial aspect along the line and all subsequent concepts have become incomprehensible. The most crucial step for me when dealing with his tutees is to identify the missing aspect and plug it in, ensuring that every new concept has a strong foundation.

One of my students started in the bottom set but was eventually at the top of his class at the end of his time tutoring him.

My teaching begins by identifying any missing understanding that may be making later topics difficult. I then tailors lessons to the individual learner, considering how they learn, where they lose marks and what they aim to achieve. Alongside subject content, he helps students develop sustainable study habits, approaches to exam questions and confidence with challenging work.
