Chemistry for GCSE students, revision and exam style questions

From 27.65 $ /h

Chemistry at GCSE level can be a challenge, as it was for myself. However my ambition is to make students well equipped to embrace this challenge. I have experience in mentoring chemistry to GCSE students in the past, and also tutoring science to secondary school students.
This class will help students understand GCSE chemistry concepts in an interactive way; and I will help students through exam questions.

In my class, I would like to help my students with the necessary tutoring and proper direction towards understanding natural science subjects such as Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics for students at IB level, high school level, and school level. I am familiar with the European School system, International School System, and A-level.

I myself was among the top 3s during my high school days and since then I have a great experience tutoring. I would look into problems from the student's point of view. This enables me to know where they are having difficulty and then help them study nicely.

I am Mavi, a physics engineer working at an aerospace company.
I have been teaching private lessons at the primary, secondary, high school, and university preparatory levels for 11 years. I teach mathematics, physics, chemistry, and science. I have a good command of the curricula of IB, IGCSE, American, Hong Kong, and international schools.

Additionally, I hold the position of president at the Astronomy Society, where I foster my students' interest in astronomy and science beyond the lessons. I prepare the learning environment by incorporating experiments and exploration, moving away from rote education. I often bring experimental materials to class, aiming to make learning memorable through hands-on experiments.

As an educational mentor, I approach my students as if they were my siblings, valuing creativity. I have a deep passion for mathematics, physics, and science. I am dedicated to helping students understand and learn because life encompasses both SCIENCE and ART. The more people I can inspire to know, understand, and love mathematics, physics, and chemistry, the more proud I am.

Are you curious about how nature works?

Let's explore together!

Physics and chemistry are the gateway to understanding all sciences, as a science student you will need to be able to sort through the many complex features to become a true student scientist with a critical and curious mind. That's why I designed this course to help students prepare for their exams and the next school year to fill in the gaps they have in math and science.
I would like to inform you that I am a young researcher and I can also help you to acquire basic knowledge of Microsoft Office and other essential software for your career.

Mathematics, chemistry and physics – clear knowledge, personal knowledge
My name is Kian, an experienced tutor from Bern, and I support pupils and students at all levels – from secondary school I and II to Passerelle, IB, university and the Swiss Matura level.

With my structured, understandable, and motivating approach, I'll not only help you achieve better grades—but also help you truly understand the context. My lessons are personalized, efficient, and at eye level.

📘What you should know about me:
I teach in Bern and successfully completed the MAS program in Statistical Data Science at the University of Bern – with a strong focus on mathematics, statistics, and analytical thinking. For several years, I have been enthusiastically tutoring – especially in the natural sciences, where many students often fall behind.

Especially in mathematics, chemistry, and physics, it's often about structures, logic, and understanding connections – it's precisely this passion that I bring to my teaching. I combine subject-specific depth with didactic sensitivity – so that even complex content becomes tangible and understandable.

✅ We have already seen the following instructions:
One-to-one lessons tailored to your pace and goals
Support for all levels – secondary school, secondary school, Passerelle, IB, university & more
Clear focus on the Swiss curriculum – including cantonal requirements
Modern didactics & real aha moments instead of dry memorization
Long-term learning strategies for sustainable success
Flexible lessons in Bern or online – reliable, personal & effective

💬 Why learn from me?
We don't know what to do with it – with its structure, its layout and its motivation.
I take the time to convey content in a way that really sticks – understandable, logical, and tailored to your situation. For me, it's not about "just getting through it" – it's about becoming more confident, gaining deeper understanding – and perhaps even developing a love of math, chemistry, or physics.

Good tutoring is not a stopgap solution – it is a real fresh start.
If you are ready to understand better, I am ready to accompany you.

With 2 years of experience teaching the IGCSE and IB syllabus, I specialize in helping students master subject content, strengthen exam techniques, and build confidence. My lessons are tailored to each learner’s pace and goals, ensuring steady progress and measurable results.

What I offer:
- IB & IGCSE syllabus coverage across core and extended levels
- Exam preparation with past paper practice and detailed feedback
- Structured guidance for Internal Assessments (IA), Extended Essays (EE), and coursework
- Study and time-management strategies designed to reduce stress and boost performance
- A supportive, relatable learning environment from someone who has recently been through the same exams successfully

I offer clear, structured tutoring in Mathematics, Chemistry, and Physics, supporting students with both content mastery and exam success at Advanced Subsidiary and Advanced Level (AS and A-Level), for both Edexcel and Cambridge. My lessons focus on clear explanations and the core ideas behind each topic, so things actually make sense.

For exam preparation, I shift focus to exam technique: you'll learn how mark schemes work, how answers are graded, and how to phrase responses clearly so you don’t lose marks because of wording, even when you know the content.

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.
