Paul N
Patient and motivating tutor
I am a very experienced Chemistry and science teacher and I know I can help you achieve success in your examinations. During the first lesson, I generally like to get to know my students and ask questions which enable me to ascertain where they currently are in terms of their understanding of Chemistry or Science. I then tailor future lessons for them and build up both their subject knowledge and confidence using very simplistic models which are analogous to the more complex topics we study. My lessons are very relaxed and give my students the opportunity to apply knowledge gained in lessons. Teaching...

Zohra M
Tutor that makes the harder STEM concepts easier!
Hi! I am Zohra and I am currently studying Biochemistry at University. To be completely honest Biology was my least favourite Science out of the three - funnily enough it forms the majority of my degree. It was very challenging in the beginning but I can assure you that it does get easier, only by having patience and consistently putting in hard work!I studied for my A Levels during the pandemic when we had online lessons which was a challenge to get used to but from this experience. I can empathise with the feeling of online studying and working on your own as I have been in your shoes before!...

Lorrayne N
Lorrayne was extremely kind, patient and understanding when working with my son. He has cerebral palsy, selective mutism and anxiety, so finding the right tutor who truly understands his needs is very important to us.
She took the time to speak with me in detail to understand Isaac’s background and the challenges he faces in school. I really appreciated how knowledgeable she is about supporting children with anxiety and communication difficulties. Isaac felt comfortable during the session and was able to engage with the activities she set, which was very encouraging for us.
Lorrayne also shared helpful ideas and strategies to support Isaac’s communication and confidence, which showed how experienced she is working with children with additional needs.
We are really looking forward to continuing lessons with her and feel confident that Isaac will benefit from her support.
