Experienced and effective Chemistry Tutor
I am an experienced tutor and have been working in Somerset for the last fifteen years. In the past I have tutored students who cannot access full-time education for different reasons (health, mobility, faith and behavioural, for example) and always try to tailor my tuition to the individual's needs.I have worked as an examiner for both A level (chemistry), GCSE (sciences) and SATS (maths) so this means I am able not only to tutor the subject but also improve examination technique. Mathematics and all three sciences can be covered at GCSE in any combination and I have gained a sound working knowledge...

Roxy D
I have been taking lessons with Roxy for almost a year now and they are really helpful and comprehensive. She makes the harder topics much easier to understand by breaking down complex ideas into smaller sections to fully understand them and grasp the concept, with an adaptive teaching style. She is really patient and explains things multiple times in different ways until they completely make sense. By taking lessons with her I have a much better understanding of chemistry and have been able to jump multiple grade boundaries. - I would highly recommend taking lessons with her!
