You won't have to become a tutoring expert; tell us what your child needs, and we'll find the right person to build their confidence and understanding, all from the comfort of your home.

Building Confidence and Real Understanding in Science
When a student genuinely understands Science, it changes everything. They stop seeing complex topics like chemical reactions or forces and motion as daunting, and instead find fascination. Imagine their child confidently explaining cell biology, or actively participating in a lab experiment at school, perhaps even considering future studies at a place like the University of Reading. This deeper understanding is what unlocks a child's natural curiosity, turning a challenging subject into one they can truly enjoy and excel in.

Creative and targeted Science tutor
I have two years of private tutoring experience, helping students build understanding and work towards achieving the best grades they can.
I support students preparing for exams covered by the Edexcel, AQA and OCR exam boards. I am also happy to work from another exam board’s specification where needed, as the content is often similar but may be organised or assessed in a different format. We can use the relevant specification to make sure our sessions focus on the knowledge and skills required for the student’s particular course.

Maria M
Patient, fun and will make sure you learn Science Science
I have been tutoring for almost over 10 years with students always loving the way we approach learning together as a team. I believe learning is best tackled when enjoyed and I have a "can-do" attitude. I first started tutoring when I was an A-level student myself, and continued doing so during my time studying my chemical engineering degree. I found it to be my true passion to be able to help other fellow students and help people achieve and succeed by making the difficult aspects of their learning understandable. I do this by breaking down complex concepts into smaller and easier understood ideas...

Jonas V
I cannot recommend Jonas highly enough. My daughter started her Year 10 GCSE Science preparation at a Grade 5, just before the mocks, and after a series of condensed online tutoring sessions with Jonas, she achieved a Grade 9! His teaching style is clear, engaging, and tailored to the student's individual needs. He has an excellent ability to explain challenging scientific concepts in a way that builds both understanding and confidence. Beyond improving her knowledge, he gave her the exam techniques and self-belief needed to perform at the highest level. We are incredibly grateful for his dedication and support, and I would wholeheartedly recommend Jonas to any parent looking for an outstanding Science tutor.

Vithusini N
My son has attended two A-level OCR Chemistry sessions with Vithusini, and we are very pleased with the support he has received so far. She explains concepts clearly, sets homework between sessions, and reviews it thoroughly in the next lesson. Feedback is provided immediately, which helps reinforce learning and address any misunderstandings quickly. My son has found the sessions both helpful and engaging, and we look forward to continuing with her.

Sarah T
Sarah has been absolutely fantastic with Sophie, my daughter, who is currently in year 10. Sophie had very low confidence with her Chemistry and was struggling to find a way forward with revision and methods for retaining the information. After her first lesson with Sarah there was an almost instant transformation in Soph’s attitude to Chemistry. She has grown to enjoy the subject rather than dreading it and gets so much from the time that Sarah spends with her. Sarah is very communicative and spends time keeping me informed of progress which is so appreciated. We’ve had many tutors over the years through Tutorful (as I have older twins who studied the sciences) and Sarah is proving to be a truly outstanding tutor. Thank you Sarah!
