I am somebody who just LOVES teaching and I guarantee I will get your child the very BEST possible results they are able to achieve. I promise to re-ignite that passion in your child with my dynamic teaching, based on a bespoke plan for your child, and my unique approach to study skills coaching.

I am a full time science teacher and online tutor, and am the creator of a successful online educational science platform, with over 100k users all around the world. I specialise in all three sciences up to GCSE, and can also teach A-Level chemistry.

Since 2017, I’ve served as a Science Curriculum Leader at a London school, while also tutoring A-Level, GCSE, and KS3 students in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics since 2013. With my expertise and personalised support, I help students master even the most challenging topics.

In my spare time I have created a successful EdTech platform, used by 100+ schools in the UK and Middle East. I have worked extremely hard throughout my life, gaining a fully funded scholarship for an MSc in Petroleum Geoscience at the University of Manchester, coupled with a PGCE and QTS qualifications, substantiates my commitment to educational excellence.

I offer the first lesson free, believing in the effectiveness of my teaching approach. Before our first free lesson, I look forward to speaking to you personally to understand your child’s needs in more detail.

My devotion to science education goes beyond the conventional classroom setting. Co-founding an educational company has allowed me to create over 850 educational videos and a thousands of quizzes and exam resources, aiding thousands of students and teachers worldwide.

Understanding the intricacies of various exam boards like AQA, SYNERGY, OCR, Edexcel, and iGCSE Edexcel, I provide access to exclusive exam questions, ensuring thorough exam preparation.

My tutoring style incorporates patience, compassion, humor, and motivational talks, creating an engaging and supportive learning environment. Your child will have access to tailored homework, quizzes, and exam practice, aiding their comprehension and application of scientific concepts.

SCIENCE & ACADEMIC BACKGROUND
- I previously worked in the oil industry as a petroleum geoscientist exploring for shale gas
- I graduated from the University of Manchester with an MSc in Petroleum Geoscience in 2012 having been awarded a scholarship from a US oil company
- Earth sciences is an interdisciplinary subject which has forced me to develop a deep understanding for physics, chemistry and biology, which is why I have developed the ability to confidently teach all sciences up to a high level

Tutoring Approach

I first aim to identify barriers that are stopping the student from achieving their full potential (lack of self-confidence, weakness on certain aspects of curriculum, poor exam technique etc.)

I then provide a variety of video resources, worksheets, exam questions, one on one teaching and homework which cater to the unique requirements of each student. Each week I set challenging homework tailored to your needs and can be contacted at any time regarding questions and problems with school work if any help is needed.

I set the highest expectations that must be met in order for success to be achieved.

I have a proven track record for all my students achieving their expected target grades at GCSE.

I understand what is required to get into a Russel Group university having studied at one myself and can help your child achieve their full potential to achieve this target.
