Online Chemistry Tutoring

Shaib Hessamadeen Charles – Subject Learning Coach
Helping Students Master Learning, Not Just Subjects
Although I'm a highly qualified and experienced Teacher, I like to think of myself as a Subject Learning Coach passionate about helping students unlock their full academic potential.
Through my own journey of overcoming challenges, refining learning techniques, and developing an adaptive mind-set, I have discovered that true success in any subject is not just about memorization—it’s about mastering the art of learning

Tutoring Experience

To me experience means nothing if it doesn't translate into results...
Why Choose Me as Your Learning Coach?
1️⃣ Personalized Learning Approach – I assess each student’s ability and learning style, tailoring my teaching methods to fit their needs. As one parent, Ahmed, shared:
“In the short term, Shaib explains concepts in a manner that sink in and stick. In the longer term, he tailors his teaching to fit the individual, thus maximizing their learning.”
2️⃣ Turning Struggles into Strengths – Many students initially struggle with Chemistry, feeling overwhelmed. But with the right guidance, everything changes. Ahmed’s son wanted to drop A-Level Chemistry before working with me. After coaching, he not only understood the subject but started enjoying it and excelling in assessments.
3️⃣ Building Confidence & Exam Mastery – I focus on breaking down difficult topics and reinforcing understanding with strategic learning methods, memory techniques, and real-world applications. Nicola, a former student, shared:
“Mr. Shaib helped me boost my grade from a U to an A, achieving 90%+ in all my exams. He is exceptionally generous with his time, linking information to exam-style questions and making learning engaging.”
4️⃣ Passion for Teaching & Dedication to Student Success – As a coach, my role goes beyond delivering lessons; I work to reignite curiosity, motivation, and a love for learning. Tavga’s daughter once struggled with Biology and Chemistry but now sees them as her favourite subjects thanks to my coaching.

Tutoring Approach

As a Subject Learning Coach, I don’t just teach content—I coach students to:
✅ Think critically and develop problem-solving skills tailored to their subject.
✅ Master effective study techniques that improve retention and understanding.
✅ Develop an adaptive mindset that turns challenges into opportunities.
✅ Gain confidence in their learning process, reducing anxiety and frustration.
✅ Apply knowledge in meaningful ways, making subjects relevant and engaging.

Why I Do It:

My own educational path has shaped my approach—I’ve faced struggles, found strategies that work, and discovered that true learning is about mastery, creativity, and innovation. I bring my experiences to help students take control of their learning, so they don’t just pass exams but truly understand and excel.
