"I have been teaching chemistry for over 30 years, with most of that time as head of department in a large mixed secondary school. I am very familiar with the AQA, OCR and Edexcel exam boards and also have a lot of experience preparing students for tests beyond A Level such as the Cambridge Chemistry Challenge and the RSC Chemistry Olympiad. For several years I was part of the AQA A Level practical exam writing team. As a sixth form tutor I helped countless students with their UCAS applications and am more than happy to give advice on the writing of personal statements, particularly those for medicine and other courses that require science A Levels. I put a lot of effort into preparing individual lessons for my tutees and welcome the opportunity to set and assess extra work for my students if so desired. I have a huge bank of resources gathered over my teaching career to help students understand and revise this challenging subject. I absolutely love teaching chemistry and see it as a privilege to be able to work alongside students to allow them to gain the confidence and skills necessary to achieve their own success. "
