How to learn Chemistry and Maths effectively and do well in your exams

From 29.74 € /h

I work with pupils who are currently doing Nat 5 Chemistry, Nat 5 Maths and Higher Chemistry. I teach the full content of the SQA syllabus using on line resources with an additional focus on learning how to answer typical past paper questions. I describe this as becoming “street wise” – knowing which parts of the syllabus are regularly examined and knowing how to answer the questions in a way that gets maximum marks. This allows the most effective use of time and it means there are very few surprises come exam time. For example, in Higher Chemistry there has been a question on titration in the last 5 exams. That makes this topic particularly worthy of focus and revision – so I’d go through the questions and make sure that pupils understand what is being asked and together we work out how to answer the questions. There are many examples like this in both subjects and becoming “street wise” is really effective. My students really like this analytical approach to learning and working like this makes topics easier to remember. I never put any pressure on people to come up with the answers by themselves, as working as a team is far more effective and more enjoyable. I am also available at any time to help with any difficulties that arise out with the tutoring sessions.

Extra information

I am a retired Chemist living in Midlothian who worked in industry in the area of developing new medicines. I have loved Chemistry and Maths subjects since I was at school and then at university and I am passionate about teaching them to young people. As a father of two young adults who have recently passed through the education system, I understand the challenges that young people face. My motivation in becoming a tutor was to make a difference and help young people to reach their maximum potential. For the last 2 academic years I have been tutoring pupils across the central belt and I’m fully familiar with the Chemistry and Maths syllabus. I would describe myself as someone who is gentle in approach but highly motivated to work in a tailored way with individuals to help them achieve very positive outcomes. I have worked with young people of different abilities and the results we’ve achieved together have been excellent. I have a first class honours degree, a PhD and I studied two years of psychology with a focus on memory and recall.

Welcome to my GCSE Mathematics and Exam Prep Tutoring Class!
I designed this program to empower students with the essential skills and strategies needed to excel in their GCSE Mathematics examinations. Through a blend of comprehensive curriculum coverage, targeted problem-solving techniques, and personalized attention, my class plans to ensure that you build a strong foundation in mathematical concepts while mastering the art of exam technique.

Welcome to the GCSE Mathematics and Science class, where students embark on an exciting journey through the fundamental principles of mathematics and the captivating realms of science. This course is designed to equip students with the essential knowledge and skills required to excel in their GCSE examinations while fostering a deep appreciation for the wonders of mathematics and science in the world around us.

In the Mathematics component of this class, students will delve into the core concepts of algebra, geometry, statistics, and more. Through engaging lessons and interactive problem-solving activities, students will develop their mathematical fluency, problem-solving abilities, and critical thinking skills. Topics covered include equations, graphs, trigonometry, probability, and algebraic manipulation, among others. Emphasis will be placed on applying mathematical techniques to real-world scenarios, ensuring students understand the practical applications of mathematical concepts.

In the Science component, students will explore the three core disciplines: Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Through hands-on experiments, demonstrations, and multimedia resources, students will investigate key scientific theories, principles, and phenomena. From the intricate workings of cells to the laws governing motion and energy, students will gain a comprehensive understanding of the natural world and the scientific processes underlying it. Topics covered include genetics, atomic structure, forces, energy, and the environment, among others. Students will also develop their scientific inquiry skills, learning how to design experiments, analyze data, and draw evidence-based conclusions.

Throughout the course, students will be encouraged to actively participate in class discussions, collaborate with their peers, and seek support when needed. Regular assessments, quizzes, and homework assignments will provide students with opportunities to consolidate their learning and track their progress. Additionally, individualized support and enrichment activities will be available to ensure that each student has the opportunity to reach their full potential.

By the end of this class, students will not only be well-prepared for their GCSE examinations but will also have developed a lifelong passion for mathematics and science, empowering them to navigate and contribute to an increasingly complex and dynamic world.

I have 10 years unbroken experience teaching Maths and social sciences to high school students. Since greater proportion of the students population at the colleges are struggling in their performance in maths, I am passionate about teaching maths only for now so as to help as much maths students as possible. I make my first tutorial class to develop rapport with a prospective maths student and to enable me identify the areas they need improvement in their performance. The first half of my tuition starts with the fundamental principles of mathematics, showing the students various clues and hints to use in answering maths questions. Special reference is made to acceptable standard marking scheme so the student can understand each topic better and develop more affection for solving mathematical problems. At the second half of my teaching, several examples are worked together with the student, ensuring that the student is fully engaged in the exercises, assimilating the concepts and contributing meaningfully. At the end of the second half of the tutorial, a lot of exercises are given to students as take-home assignments.

The submitted assignments are reviewed, scored before the next appointment and corrections made one-to-one with the student next tutorial session. The topics covered are not limited to the core concentration like algebra, trigonometry, calculus, statistics to mention a few, they extend to elementary maths. If the gap in understanding a topic is much, elementary maths is revised with the student prior to teaching any of the core maths topics.

I am able to tutor from 1st to early 3rd level in numeracy, literacy (reading, writing and spelling) and 1st and second level French. I have experience with a range of literacy/reading programmes and with supporting ASN pupils. I use a range of resources and techniques, ensuring pupils are engaged, challenged and supported in a way that suits the individual.
