MSc Chemistry 2019. Expert Chemistry tutor, specialising in advanced exam techniques to help students secure exceptional results.

I’m a devoted GCSE and A Level Chemistry tutor with 6+ years’ experience, specialising in the AQA, OCR and Edexcel exam boards. After earning my first-class Masters in Chemistry, I dedicated my career to helping students master exam technique, equipping them with skills to avoid common pitfalls and achieve outstanding results.

My approach is a hybrid system that combines learning with exam preparation, ensuring everything covered is directly applicable to improving exam performance. On average, students using my system improve by 2.7 grades, with over half increasing by two or more grades. My engaging and high-energy teaching style breaks down even the most challenging topics into clear, concise explanations, making Biology easier to understand.

Laying and consolidating the foundations of mathematics and science in middle and high school is essential to developing your children's reasoning skills, ensuring them every chance of success in their future studies... and obviously guaranteeing them very good results at the baccalaureate or patent and throughout the year!

I am a young engineer with a recent double degree from the Ecole Centrale de Lyon and the Technical University of Denmark in general engineering and civil engineering, and I suggest you follow your children throughout the year to provide them with the basics , methods and in-depth studies that teachers do not always have the time to give to students. Having myself recently completed a scientific baccalaureate and a scientific preparatory class at the Lycée Saint Louis in Paris, I know the paths and states of mind (positive as well as negative!) of the students, and will help them progress effectively with kindness, good humor and patience.

I have several years of experience in private lessons at all levels, including one in London, and have thus acquired teaching skills and knowledge of science programs from middle school to high school (including the new program). I prepare my lessons in advance, can provide schedules to students, and seek to create connections with them that allow us to move forward more quickly and with mutual trust. My goal is to provide good results, but above all to ensure a deep understanding of the concepts of the program, methods and scientific reasoning, as well as to teach students the rigor and logic essential to these subjects. These concepts are assets and tools that will be useful to your children throughout their studies and careers.

With the last half of the year 2018-2019 severely disrupted by the health crisis, your children may have accumulated certain gaps that I can help to fill. I am very available for my students, have already provided a large number of distance lessons by Skype with great success. I like to know my students and establish relationships of trust with them, as equals, by providing friendly, educational and personalized support. I am very attentive and can happily help my students throughout the week and outside of class if they have questions about exercises or methods.

My prices are commensurate with my investment, my educational experience and my qualifications, having accumulated 6 years of high-level scientific studies. I am very accommodating with schedules and can easily postpone classes if necessary.

Do not hesitate to contact me; happy back to school!

Tutoring for International Baccalaureate (IB) Maths AA HL/SL, Chemistry HL/SL, Physics HL/SL and for International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) International Mathematics (0607), Additional Mathematics (0606), Physics (0625) Chemistry (0620).

I aim to make sure students understand material intuitively first before delving into complicated questions and foster a friendly and patient learning environment. Instead of relying on memorising formulas, I teach students how to derive the formulas themselves, build upon their previous knowledge and use them to solve complex questions in a simple way, building their confidence in the process. To facilitate this, I use metaphors and every-day things to construct stories that help students remember concepts and relationships between them.

My lessons are tailored to each student's needs, preferences and learning style so I am able to accommodate specific requests. I can help students work on improving both overall understanding of the subject as well as detailed and thorough understanding of specific topics/sub-topics. As someone who sat these exams myself, I know what the most common mistakes in each topic are, the best exam techniques and have lots of tips, tricks and resources I can share!

I offer flexible scheduling, with availability during the day, early mornings, and late evenings for lessons online or in-person lessons near South Kensington. Please message me before booking so we can find a time that works for both of us!
If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to contact me :)
