Stuart S
Durham University researcher; expert tutor A-level chemistry
Chemistry is the subject where students most often feel they're memorising forty disconnected facts. Moles, equilibrium, organic mechanisms, the whole of physical chemistry. My job is to make it connect, so that instead of learning forty things you understand the one idea underneath them. I teach GCSE and A-level chemistry across AQA, OCR and Edexcel, and I build every session around the individual student rather than working through a fixed course. What lessons look like The first session is diagnostic. We work out what you actually understand and where the gap really sits, which is usually a...

Find a tutor Emmeline S
My daughter is really enjoying her sessions with Emmeline, who makes the learning fun and engaging. We've been impressed with how much is covered in the hour's session and we're seeing her confidence grow already with the one-to-one time. Emmeline has taken great care to get to know our daughter and honed in on her needs quickly with Year 6 SATs in mind. The screen learning is interactive and works brilliantly. Emmeline is friendly and attentive with a lovely warm, natural manner. A fantastic tutor. Thank you!

Viola is one of the best tutors we have ever had the pleasure of coming across. My child is homeschooled, and used Viola to help him address exam technique. I cannot express how knowledgeable she is! She furthers the child's knowledge seamlessly with a kind and caring tone. We have used a lot of tutors in the past, and she is second to none.

Grace B
Grace is an amazing tutor, she really helped my daughter in three key ways. Firstly she lifted her confidence after difficult GCSE results outcomes for her. Secondly, the approach to teaching was well structured, with a great style, plenty of feedback and lesson materials and finally the results speak for themselves moving grades by two whole levels. Thank you and I would certainly recommend Grace.
