Personal Description:
I am currently teaching at one of the top independent schools for girls in Berkshire. I hold a PhD in chemistry, which gives me sound knowledge of the subject and I have completed my teacher training at the University of Cambridge.
I am told to be an approachable person which allows me to build a very good working relationship with my students. They are never afraid of asking questions and this gives me the opportunity to identify problems and rectify them quickly.

Teaching Experience:
I am a chemistry specialist and I have five years experience of teaching Edexcel IGCSE and OCR A/B A level qualifications in a high achieving school. I am also confident with the content of the AQA, OCR A/B and Edexcel GCSE and AQA and Edexcel A level specifications which I have been tutoring for many years.

Tutoring Approach:
I do not have a unique approach. All students are different and they have all different needs. I try building a relationship of trust and listen to what their needs are. Very often is the case that they lack confidence and they just need some reassurance. Chemistry is a challenging subject but most students can do very well provided they have self belief and are willing to work hard.

Qualifications:

PhD in Chemistry (University of Nottingham ) 2008

PGCE in Chemistry (University of Cambridge) 2010

QTS - Qualified Teacher Status 2010

Personal Description:
I am a fourth year Arabic and Middle Eastern Studies student from Cambridge University (+ Spanish in first two and have just returned from a year teaching music throughout the middle east. I am particularly comfortable tutoring languages and music and have plenty of experience of this. I am based in Cambridge and am happy to come to you rather than causing you the extra hassle of meeting somewhere else.

Teaching Experience:
English teacher - Oct 2009-Nov 2010, UNWRA School, Balata Refugee Camp, Nablus
Music teacher - oboe, music theory and singing - Oct 2009 - Oct 2010, Al Kamandjati Music School, Ramallah
Music teacher - oboe, music theory and singing - Sept 2005-Dec 2006, private pupils, Bath
French and Spanish tutor - Sept 2005-Dec 2006, private pupils, Bath
English teacher - January - June 2007, Calca & Coya Community Schools, Peru

Tutoring Approach:
I have a flexible approach which I would vary with each pupil depending on their particular needs, but with languages I tend to record the lessons so that the pupil can listen and digest the information at home after the lesson. Unfortunately with almost all GCSE and A level subjects, a lot of the skill is in jumping through certain hoops and writing what the examiner wants to see and so I cater to that, as I appreciate the importance of getting the grades at school. However, I do not solely focus on this and genuinely believe in the necessity of a thorough understanding in order for it to 'stick'.

Qualifications:

A levels: Spanish-A; French-A; History-A; Music-A

GCSEs: Double science A*A*; English lit A*; English lang A*; Mathematics A, Music A*; Drama A; R.S. A*; I.T A; Latin A; History A*; Spanish A*; French A*

Tutoring Approach:
I usually start with the current topics that student is studying in the school and explain to the student that topic and related background knowledge. As I teach one to one, my pace is faster than school and we usually finish the topic in one or sometimes two classes. And then we do previous topics and I explain doubts on those topics. I usually do not teach students that they already know, instead, start topic wise past papers of the topics students feel he or she knows well.

I explain to students how to write the answer to the questions asked,... not what they know... in a very concise and complete manner and relate the answers to the mark schemes of the past papers... and there is a lot of similar things that I explain...

Personal Description:
I am a dedicated and enthusiastic student who has recently completed my GCSEs achieving As and Bs. I am currently studying A Level Chemistry, Biology, Business and Welsh Baccalaureate in St Brigids School, Denbigh. I plan on studying Pharmacy at University. I enjoy regularly going to the gym which allows me to keep a healthy lifestyle as that is very important to me, this allows me to stay disciplined.

Teaching Experience:
Through my previous involvement of the Combined Cadet Force (CCF), I have been able to gain valuable teaching experience by leading lessons to younger cadets about ranking systems in the CCF and rules. I have also helped younger cadets complete route cards for Bronze DofE.
I have been able to work with the lower school and help out with personal reading and become a "reading buddy" this has allowed me to work close with younger children and understand the amount of support they may need whilst giving them the confidence and independence to try new words by themself.

Tutoring Approach:
When tutoring I plan on making my lessons interactive to allow the student to feel comfortable to address any questions they may have. This will allow me to understand how they work as everyone works differently. I plan on breaking down topics to make it more easy to understand and then building it up to reach maximum results.

Qualifications:
