Gabriella is a very helpful tutor who explains in depth what you cannot understand. She will go over anything you don't understand and won't be upset if you don't yet understand certain areas/topics.

Alison O
Alison is a friendly tutor who gives great explanations and ensures you understand the concept thoroughly, instead of just teaching for the exam. I really like how she teaches so that you get to the answer through logical thinking, so you do not have to just rely on memorisation, which is difficult especially with so much content in A level chemistry. She is so calm, that you are not afraid to make mistakes and are comfortable with asking questions, which is something I struggle with at school. Thank you Alison for all your help :))

Really helpful Chemistry session. Explanations were very clear, logical, and in-depth, especially for topics that are usually taught with shortcuts, and using different examples. Everything was broken down step-by-step, which helped me understand the reasoning behind mechanisms and questions rather than just memorising them. I felt comfortable asking questions and came away feeling much more confident.
