Jyoti

Examiner Experience of OCR A and Edexcel board for A level Chemistry and GCSE exams. Assistant Head of Science, Head of Chemistry and Chartered Teacher teaching various educational sectors from more than 14 years.

Having marked exams for these boards, I know exactly what examiners are looking for. I use this insight to teach exam techniques directly, helping students structure answers the way examiners want to see them, not just the way the textbook explains them.

I hold an M.Sc. and M.Phil. in Chemistry, and have taught across the State sector, Private Sixth Form Colleges, and FE, covering GCSE, iGCSE, A level (including fast-track groups), university foundation programmes, and Access to HE courses in Science and Pharmacy. I also spent time overseas in India as Head of Chemistry, teaching GCSE and A level students.

Teaching Experience

My experience includes working at the State sector, Private Sixth Form Colleges, and FE. I have taught iGCSE, A levels, Fast Track A level groups, university foundation programmes, and Access to HE courses in Science and Pharmacy. I also spent time overseas in India as Head of Chemistry, teaching GCSE and A level students.

My wide range of teaching experience has enabled me to work effectively with students from different social, educational, and cultural backgrounds. I tailor lessons to each student's educational needs, providing academic guidance alongside subject teaching, and offer friendly, relaxed sessions suited exactly to what the pupil requires. I enjoy adapting my style to whatever a student needs, whether that's confidence-building, filling knowledge gaps, or pushing for top grades.

Tutoring Approach

I believe every student learns differently, and I tailor each lesson accordingly. My sessions are relaxed but focused, designed to build genuine understanding rather than memorisation, helping students think logically, make connections, and apply their knowledge confidently. I place strong emphasis on past papers practice, since this is consistently what prepares students best for the exam itself.

I always encourage my students to be proactive and ask for support when needed, and I focus on helping them maximise their potential through targeted revision and exam technique.

EllenFirst Tutors

Finding Jyoti has been an excellent experience for my daughter and I. Since we first made contact Jyoti has been extremely polite and helpful at every step and she is very quick to respond to queries. My daughter has found Jyoti to be an excellent and supportive teacher, very patient and responsive to my daughter’s needs. My daughter looks forward to her weekly sessions with Jyoti and is now feeling much more confident about taking her chemistry A-level exams next year.

Tutor response

Thank you Ellen for kind feedback. It is my pleasure to teach and support A. Kind Regards Jyoti

Tutor response

MihaelaFirst Tutors

Jyoti is an excellent tutor. She made a slot available for a new student when she was very busy during the academic year and we appreciate this effort. Jyoti also organised additional lessons during Easter holidays for us. Her positive approach materialised in an A at OCR A-level Chemistry and a place at first choice university. Highly recommended. Thank you for all your support, Jyoti!

Tutor response

Thank you so much for kind words. I am pleased to know that ‘A’ has secured First choice in university. It was my pleasure to provide guidance. Best wishes and congratulations.

FarahaFirst Tutors

If you're looking for an ideal Chemistry tutor, then look no further than Jyoti. She has been a life saver for us the past few weeks. Despite being fully booked barely 8 weeks till the A Levels, she very kindly agreed to take on my son for tutoring when other tutors refused due to the shortage of time. What sets Jyoti apart from other tutors is the amount of care and commitment she gives my son. She has made it her mission and responsibility to get him to score the highest grades and has left no stone unturned. My son has grown in confidence and ability in this short time we've had Jyoti. His grades have certainly improved and his understanding and love of the subject has just soared since having Jyoti. She finds out exactly where his weakness lies and works to improve those areas first. Her lessons consist of the perfect mix of teaching and exam question practice and feedback. We've experienced many tutors who have great knowledge but just can't teach - Jyoti has such in depth knowledge but most importantly excels in teaching. Her teaching style is just brilliant and perfectly suited to my son. She's kind and encouraging and really cares about her students. It's very difficult to find a tutor who cares this much and dedicates so much of their personal time outside of the lessons to plan a strategy for their students to achieve the grades they want. Jyoti does exactly that. She knows exactly what he needs to do to score well and plans the lessons that way, instead of just turning up to the lesson and going through random topics without any care (which we've had some tutors do). After having Jyoti, she has set the bar so high, that when I'm looking for tutors in other subjects, they just don't match her level. Thank you Jyoti for everything you have done for us till now. Your guidance and support has been invaluable to us and the only regret we have is not finding you earlier!

Tutor response

Thank you so much Faraha for detailed feedback! Very much appreciated. Hani is pleasure to teach and he himself is so committed to improve his grade. He will definitely excel in exams. I wish him all the best for future endeavours.

JackieFirst Tutors

Jyoti is very easy to communicate with both as a parent and for my daughter. She is an excellent tutor. She listens to what my daughter feeds back, explains complex ideas well and has lots of exam papers to use. So far in 4 months we have moved from a Grade C to B. She is well structured in her approach but flexible when asked.

Tutor response

Thank you for your kind words. It is a pleasure to teach Victoria. I am confident that she will excel in her exams. Wishing her all the best for future.

PatFirst Tutors

Jyoti responded quickly to our tutorial request. My y13 daughter found her very helpful and Jyoti actually identified the areas that my daughter’s school has not covered for her Chemistry specification, which they should have covered by now. She is putting an effective plan to help cover these, as my daughter’s final exams are fast approaching. My daughter has had one lesson so far, and is very impressed with how organised Jyoti is.

Tutor response

Dear Pat Many thanks for your kind feedback. It is an absolute pleasure teaching Tamara. I wish her all the best in her future endeavours. Thanks Jyoti

PolinaFirst Tutors

Jyoti is a fantastic Chemistry tutor! She covers requested topics in a logical order and ensures that any weaknesses are identified and worked on. During each lesson, past paper questions are covered and explained thoroughly and between each session, resources such as worksheets and notes are sent. Furthermore, Jyoti provides topic tests which are very helpful when working on exam technique and timing.

Tutor response

Thank you so much Polina for your kind words. It’s a pleasure to teach you. You will definitely do well in your exams if you keep on studying hard.

I do AQA Chemistry , I am doing AS level at the moment. Miss Jyoti is an excellent teacher. In fact, I am not the brightest student but I can understand everything deeply all because of Miss's high level of knowledge and experience as an examiner. She always gives excellent exam tips and constant exam practice. One can tell she truly cares for her students and teaching. I have been getting great grades so far, I would recommend her to any student!

MahbuFirst Tutors

Jyoti is an excellent tutor. My daughter has only had a few lessons for her A level Chemistry and she is already feeling much more confident. In addition to supporting chemistry Jyoti also has provided valuable guidance on preparing for university admission, getting work experience etc. We are very lucky to get her supporting our daughter on a tough subject like chemistry.
