Hi! If you don't like chemistry (especially organic!) or you think you will never understand it, it's because you haven't met me yet! :) I'm Maxime, I'm a native French and super friendly young guy, fluent in english, and I'm a Doctor in chemistry after I did a Ph.D at the University of Nottingham (England). I now work as a development chemist, making new medication for our future! Naturally, chemistry is my thing, particularly organic chemistry! I have a lot of experience in private tutoring in chemistry (speaking in french and english, but not both at the same time, that's weird!) and I've also been a demonstrator in teaching laboratories in the school of chemistry of the University of Nottingham. So I really like to teach and you will notice it very quickly! For university, all you need is my 4 golden rules in organic chemistry, and you'll be set for good, you'll see! One of my university students in England started with 20% in second year, finished her second year retake at 50% and scored 80% the following year!! Do you want that too? ;) You will see how passionate I am about chemistry, I will become very enthusiastic during the lessons! :) I have been private tutoring for well over 10 years, and my many students have reached the university of their dreams, and/or excelled in chemistry once there, I am really proud of all of them!

I suggest helping you or your child understand the intricacies of chemistry! Advantages: > Motivation: Orientation towards learners being interested in the learning material and relating it to their own experiences; > Effectiveness: We will use flashcards, learning games, understandable models with modern digital; > Relevance: knowledge that I have recently acquired myself; > Flexibility: Transport and technology help us to meet at a time that is convenient for you. Possible topics (may be added in the future): Basic understanding of material particles and their properties, the course of reactions, inorganic and organic molecules. For online lessons, I use the "Google Meet" and "Google Classroom" software. We will also use flashcards on the website or in the "Quizlet" app. So you need a computer or a tablet. To take notes, you need either a notebook or a tablet - whichever is more convenient for you. You will receive the slides as PDF files. The learning material will be accessible to you at any time.

have graduated with a degree in chemical engineering from the University of Edinburgh, UK. I am also an Erasmus Mundus scholar with a master's in Analytical Chemistry from Uppsala University. Currently, I am pursuing a PhD in physical chemistry. I have been tutoring since 2012 to fund my education expenses. I formally began tutoring in 2014 as part of my vocational training as a teacher in Ghana, funded by the University of Edinburgh. The formal training has taught me a lot about curriculum development, time management, and fusing my teaching methodology to my students’ needs. I have been tutoring in Physics, Chemistry, and Math, in person and online; the hybrid model has allowed me to reach out and teach students in 8 different countries. I have successful students from these past nine years who have not only commended my work ethic but can also stand testament to my enthusiasm. My excellent academic career has nurtured in me a natural talent for teaching. My experiences have taught me how to tackle one problem at a time, and I believe that using this approach—paired with my unconventional examples that force students to think outside the box—I can truly provide an excellent understanding and explanation. My teaching methodology is based on two main things: skill development and adaptation. Initially, I create a skeleton of the most suitable methodology tailored to the preferred curriculum, after which, I adapt that lecture to the specific needs of the student based on their knowledge and grasp of the concepts. Second, I like to develop analytical and scientific ability along with knowledge in my students, and for that, I use a combination of resources in the form of worksheets, class tasks, and past papers. Last, I believe in the strong ethic of providing feedback to the parents, so that they are aware of their child’s progress. Frequently Asked Questions: Which subject(s) do you teach? I teach math, mechanics, statistics, chemistry and physics. I also teach biology up to GCSE level. When are you available? My timetable is quite flexible. I am happy to work weekdays, week evening and weekends. Which ages and levels do you teach? The majority of my students are between the ages of 10-18, but I also teach college Students. I am also helping foundation and first year university students. Which qualifications do you prepare your students for? GCSE, o-level, A/S-level, A-level, IB, School entrance exams and SATs Describe your arrangements for online tutoring? I use Zoom online sessions since it has many tools and features specially designed for interactive and visual learning. I am fully equipped with modern gadgets for e-learning. I use Google drive and docs to share files.
