I'm a GCSE Chemistry specialist with 14 years classroom teaching experience, 8 years as an examiner, and 4 years as Head of Sixth Form. I know what examiners are actually looking for on the page, not just what the textbook says, because I've marked thousands of real exam scripts.

My approach is built around understanding why something works, not just memorising it — because that's what actually holds up under exam pressure. I tailor every session to the individual: some students need to slow down and rebuild fundamentals; others are already strong but need exam technique and confidence under time pressure.

Before teaching, I spent 10 years as an osteopath, which means I'm used to explaining complicated science clearly and working 1:1 with people who learn differently.

I am a GCSE Chemistry specialist. That focus means every session is built around exactly what your exam board expects.
