Chemistry - go beyond appearances . . . understand at a deep level
So you have a goal, a treasured dream? Perhaps you'd love to work in science, tech, engineering or maths? But your chemistry is letting you down?
I'm a coach and tutor who loves to help individuals achieve their learning and life goals. I've helped my clients qualify for their chosen career paths – in dentistry, physiotherapy and chemistry. I tutor chemistry at iGCSE, IB level and A level – drawing on my background as a medical / science journalist and as an Oxford University chemist.
Chemistry is the study of electrons – and who gets to see one of those in everyday life? Perhaps that's why chemistry remains a mystery for many.
There are 11 basic ideas of chemistry you must master up to age 18 – and it's really common to get the wrong idea about one or more of these.
A big part of my job is to uncover the sources of your confusions, helping you understand clearly at a gut level – then you will naturally remember whatever you need on exam day.
My job is to turn the abstract into something you can see, hear, touch and even smell – and give you space to think out loud and explore and be curious.
Often we will start with real exam questions, and work back through the concepts ... fitting them together like lego bricks... this way you will safely arrive at the correct answers. This is the kind of deep learning that stays with you for years to come and you can trust in the examination hall, no matter how nervous you feel.
So write and tell me –
1. what is your goal and why is it important to you?
2. What exam course are you doing?
3. What obstacle do you need help overcoming?
The Royal Society of Chemistry in London says many students aged 11-18 have problems "getting" one or more of these 11 basic ideas of chemistry. So if you're confused – you're in good company! Tell me, would you like help with any of these:
1. States of matter
2. Particle theory
3. Changes of state (solid, liquid, gas)
4. Differences between elements, compounds and mixtures
5. Chemical reactions – what are they anyway?
6. Open and closed system chemistry – eg rusting, burning versus precipitation/dissolving.
7. Acids, bases and neutralisation
8. Stoichiometry
9. Chemical bonding
10. Thermodynamics
11. Chemical equilibria

EXPRIENCED TUTOR FOR IB, IGCSE, GCSE, EDEXCEL, A-LEVELS, SCIENCE, CHEMISTRY, BIOLOGY AND PHYSICSI am an experienced and certified mathematics tutor specializing in a range of curriculums, including AS and A-Levels, IGCSE, GCSE, SATs, Edexcel, and the International Baccalaureate (IB). With a proven track record of guiding students to success in these rigorous exams, I understand the unique challenges each curriculum presents. My approach is designed to meet each student's individual needs and learning style, ensuring that they receive the tailored support necessary to excel.
Mathematics can often seem daunting, but my goal is to help students build a deep understanding of mathematical concepts. I believe that a solid foundation in the basics is crucial, and I work to ensure that students grasp fundamental principles before moving on to more complex topics. This method not only boosts their confidence but also prepares them for advanced problem-solving scenarios. I utilize a variety of teaching methods, from visual aids to interactive exercises, to cater to different learning styles and make the subject more relatable.
In my sessions, I focus on developing effective problem-solving strategies. I guide students through step-by-step processes for tackling various types of mathematical problems, helping them to analyze questions critically and approach solutions systematically. This analytical skill is invaluable, not just for exams, but for future academic pursuits and real-world applications. I encourage students to ask questions and engage in discussions, as this fosters a deeper understanding of the material.
I also recognize that exam preparation involves more than just understanding the content; it requires familiarity with the exam format and types of questions they will encounter. I provide targeted practice using past papers and mock exams, which allows students to hone their test-taking skills and time management. This practice is essential for building the resilience and confidence needed to perform well under exam conditions.
Whether you're looking for support with fundamental concepts or advanced topics, I am here to provide clear explanations and structured guidance. My lessons are designed to be engaging and interactive, ensuring that students remain motivated and focused. I believe that learning should be a positive experience, and I strive to create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable expressing their concerns and challenges.

Sciences Tutoring, Homework and Exam Support (ages 8-16)Sciences are some of the most challenging subjects in primary and middle school, and some of the most exciting nonetheless; I will help your child see the beauty and simplicity in the heart of physics, chemistry or biology, and thus excel at them.
My approach is flexible. I can do any of: re-explain difficult material to the student; help with homework; supervise and guide them in preparation for exams and tests. All my teaching, however, is always accompanied by quizzes and questions to ensure understanding and gauge progress.
I'm a high-school student specialising in these subjects, consistently scoring best-in-school scores for them for the past 5 years. Although my main area of interest in mathematics - I am a member of the Cyprus National Mathematics Team - my mathematical and educational passion swiftly translates into science tutoring talent. I already possess experience in teaching sciences, teaching a student in 9th grade biology.
