I have several years of experience and have helped more than 20 students with various science subjects. I offer tutoring for the subject of chemistry. Whether you need help with a specific chapter, or want to follow a broader exam training. During the tutoring we will mainly work together on assignments and I will support you in the thinking process. In addition to the lessons you will work independently on homework assignments. You will need a calculator and a Binas yourself. Tutoring in pairs or small groups (for example with classmates) is possible at a lower rate per person – please contact us for more information! *ENGLISH* My name is Sanne (23), and I'm a Master's student in Molecular Life Sciences with a strong passion for biochemistry.

Chemistry
I taught in the UK from 2002 to 2007, initially as a supply teacher, then as a full-time teacher of Maths, Science and Chemistry and from 2007 to 2021 in Berlin Germany, teaching IB Chemistry, Science (MYP plus Berlin School Programme) to an age range of 11 to 19 years, and from 2021-date, focusing on online prep for students preparing for International Baccalaureate (IB) mock and May Exams vis-a-vis IB internal Assessment (IA). Over the past years I have worked hard at adapting my strategies for teaching to incorporate different ideas and ‘best practice’ highlighted in recent developments in Science education. I have attended Key courses as well as departmental sessions on identifying which National Curriculum levels students are functioning at and how to help them to progress in their learning. As a Science/Chemistry specialist, I have done all in my power to uphold students’ passion in the subject, and I have had a good number of my students expressing their gratitude. In 2009 I received the International Baccalaureate (IB) Chemistry Trained Teacher Certification and batches of IB Chemistry students have graduated successfully. My time as IB Chemistry(plus MYP and as online) teacher(2009-date) has produced Internal Moderated Assessment(IA) scores as high as 23 out of 24. I see myself as a very successful Science Teacher with very high hopes for the future. I am an enthusiastic teacher and I really enjoy trying out new ideas to help motivate and engage students and to help them to learn about Science. I believe that it is important that my students enjoy their lessons and feel able to participate, so I try to develop positive teacher-pupil relationships and use a range of strategies to enable them to interact both with their fellow students and with me.

Benson

rating green star
After my first lesson with Benson, i have felt more confidence in my skills with chemistry than i have in many years. Where I previously felt very subconscious and unable to answer questions, i have now been able to answer difficult IB exams questions with ease. Benson provided me a safe and comfortable environment which has left me excited for my next class at school to show what i have learned with a fresh confidence! I highly recommend this tutor to anyone who struggles with confidence in both themselves and their subjects.

rating green star
Superb experience with Raef. I asked for his help to prepare a math assessment test with an enormous lack of basis but he accepted the challenge. I found out a nice teacher who is not afraid of explaining and repeating if necessary. I did enjoy his method with the whiteboard, it feels like you are in the same place and can interact on the same exercise. Either in English or french he will certainly be able to help you. He is super kind and flexible, I definitively recommend his services.

Mr Chemist
rating star
rating green star
I was lucky to choose Mr Chemist to help my daughter prepare for her IGSCE exam. He was punctual and asked detailed questions to ensure she was well-prepared for the lessons. Even more impressive was his ability to help my daughter understand the chemistry topics she struggled with in school. I highly recommend Mr Chemist to anyone in need of mastering secondary school chemistry. He is an exceptional teacher passionate about helping students achieve their best.
