Find a tutor Chidimma I
Chidinma has been outstanding as a Chemistry tutor for my daughter and has given her a lot of confidence.
Chidinma explains things until my daughter gains full understanding and gives feedback on what she needs to practice in her own time.
She is fantastic. I highly recommend her to anyone who is stuggling with chemistry

Catherine O
Catherine was kind, on time and always delivered comprehensive lessons. I enjoyed that she was always prepared for our lessons and asked what we'd study next session so I could direct my learning. She helped fill the gaps in my knowledge and helped me realise where I needed more revision. Rescheduling was simple if we ever needed to deviate from our schedule which was great because I didn't miss any learning and the tutoring sessions always fit into my schedule. I'm very grateful for Catherine for helping me get an A in A-level chemistry (examining board being pearson edexcel) and recommend her to all A-level chemistry students who are struggling to understand and remember the massive volume of content in the chemistry A-level syllabus. Thank you Catherine!

Dr Mark R
We've been working with Dr Mark to support my son ahead of his resit Chemistry exam in September. Within just 1-2 months, his past paper performance has already jumped up to an A grade!
Dr Mark always sends materials before every lesson and plans the next session based on how he's actually performing, which has made a huge difference. He's clearly invested in real progress, not just going through the motions. We'll definitely be continuing with him all the way through to the A-level exams.
Highly recommend him if you're looking for a tutor who actually tailors things to your child rather than sticking to a generic plan.

Paul N
Waited for months to share this review as I knew my results will improve so well with his help, went from GCSE combined science predicted grade 6/7 to results 9/9 at last. Amazing teacher to learn from, kind, easygoing, knowledgable and able to answer all kinds of questions you throw and explain things well, the go-to tutor for Chemistry. Not only did I become better at this subject, I also became more interested in this subject, then slowly to all other sciences so that I put effort into learning them, his passion in Chemistry really is contagious. Definitely will continue the journey of learning Alevel Chemistry with him.

Natalia G
Natalia is a genuinely wonderful tutor. I started being tutored by her at the beginning of year 13 after getting a D and C in my AS-level exams and constantly getting U's and E's in my mock exams. I was nervous to admit that what I was doing wasn’t working and that a change needed to be made, so I resat my AS exams alongside doing my A Levels in year 13 for biology and chemistry. Natalia was so supportive and took the shame away from not understanding certain things. She explained everything in such a simple way and worked through past paper questions with me so that I was fully prepared for all of my exams. I ended up getting A's in my biology and chemistry exams which meant that I got into my first choice university. I couldn’t have made so much progress without Natalia and I couldn’t recommend her more as a tutor !
