Marlow Chemistry Tutors and Marlow Chemistry Tuition

Personal Description:
I specialise in Maths, English & Science at GCSE level and AS/A-level Maths. I cover all 3 main exam boards including Edexcel, AQA & OCR. I also tutor for 11 plus entrance exams including Verbal Reasoning, Non Verbal Reasoning, Maths and English. I have a high success rate for entrance exams for Grammar & Private schools within South East England.

I have 8 years tutoring experience and am qualified to post graduate level. I have achieved over 90% for most of my A-level modules and `A` grade for GCSEs.

I teach out of a dedicated office space at home. I am available weekday evenings and Sundays and hold a current CRB clearance certificate. A free trial lesson for new students can be arranged on request.

Teaching Experience:
With over 8 years tutoring experience, I am very confident in my teaching. I am qualified to post graduate level and am a high academic achiever.

Over the years I have developed various teaching techniques which I adapt to varied level of abilities in my students. I prioritise on student`s weaknesses and explain key concepts in a way which they understand.

Tutoring Approach:
My teaching is in accordance with the exam specification requirements and I focus on what the examiners expect. Each lesson is tailored to meet the needs of each individual student.

I believe past paper practice is essential in ensuring students experience exam environments and get familiar with the format of questions. I have seen a dramatic improvement in my student`s performance improving from E to A grades.

I provide access to a range of preparation material such as past papers, topic specific worksheets, recommended workbooks etc. for my 11 plus entrance exam students. I explain all techniques required to do well in the entrance exams, rather than relying purely on past papers only.

I give weekly homework to my students to ensure learning during the lesson is not forgotten and is reinforced. Regular assessment and review of topics covered previously helps to ensure progress is being made

I have a track record of enabling pupils secure a place at their chosen school and achieve a high grade at GCSE and key stage level. I achieve this by focussing on the pupils weaknesses and explain key concepts and techniques in a way which they understand.

Personal Description:
I'm 4th year MSci Physics student at UCL. I'm great with people and as a student I know the difficult parts of the courses and can explain concepts in the simplest ways. I'm certain I can help your son/daughter achieve the grade they want at GCSE and A-Level in sciences and maths.
It's not only academic help that I can offer, I can:
- share my study tips and habits that become essential as your child moves on to higher learning
- share my up to date knowledge of what you need to do to ensure a bright future for them and secure their dream job

I have 9A*s (including all sciences and maths) and 4As at GCSE.
At A-Level I achieved 3As (Maths, Physics, Chemistry) and 1B (Further Maths)
Currently pursuing an MSci in Physics

Teaching Experience:
I have a few months of tutoring experience working with secondary school children during my A-Levels, I was selected as a physics mentor at the Liverpool Blue Coat school. I have university level teaching experience gained through tutoring my brother who is also a university physics student. I can guarantee that I will be able to deliver high quality lessons to your son/daughter if I am their tutor.

Tutoring Approach:
Often students don't understand a topic simply because the teacher hasn't put it into language the student understands. I do my best to convey ideas in clear and simple language to cut to the essence of the topic. As a current student the struggles and pitfalls of learning are very fresh so I can help someone else avoid the same issues.
I believe in STEM subjects the most important and useful way to improve is to practise a lot of questions and this will be my main method of tuition. Your child and I will discuss concepts and then apply them to concrete problems during the sessions. I will then provide some homework questions that they should attempt in their own time and will always provide complete worked solutions to all homework set by me.

Personal Description:
Hi, I'm Kate. I'm a fully qualified teacher and tutor with over 15 years of experience teaching GCSE Science and A Level Chemistry to students of a range of abilities. My students go on to do great things at University, including Medicine, Dentistry, Science and Engineering. I am friendly and well organised, offering my students the best experience to improve their knowledge and understanding. My lessons are very interactive and well resourced; learning materials/ exam questions and mark schemes are provided for each lesson. I have an up to date enhanced DBS certificate.

Teaching Experience:
I am a secondary school teacher specialising in A level and GCSE Chemistry classes for 3 days of the week, and a private tutor in the evenings and weekends. I have taught in 3 different schools over 15 years, gaining extensive experience in A Level Chemistry. This has led to a strong record of excellent exam results, with my students achieving higher grades on average than other students nationally. I explain concepts very clearly to students, and know every exam trick to help them achieve maximum potential in their exams. I offer tuition for the following exam boards: AQA, OCR A, and Edexcel.

The following are some reviews from current students of mine: -

'I wanted to express my sincere appreciation for your high quality teaching in A-Level Chemistry. My son feels that the clarity and enthusiasm with which you deliver each lesson make his learning experience enjoyable and insightful. Your dedication to help him succeed is evident through your availability for questions and willingness to provide additional support. Thank you for fostering a positive and engaging environment that has undoubtedly enhanced his passion for chemistry and thanks to your outstanding guidance.'

'Kate has only taught me for a short while so far, but has already helped me make massive progress. Her methods and in depth explanations, always help me understand each topic very well, and by the end of each lesson I feel much more confident with the area of learning that we covered. She is patient and takes her time with me to ensure I completely understand the learning. She is the kind of tutor who would go above and beyond for her student. I definitely recommend Kate as a private tutor!'

'Kate is an excellent tutor. My daughter understands much more and her confidence has grown after just a few sessions.'

'Kate is an excellent tutor. She is very knowledgeable and really wants her students to achieve their best. She's very reliable and has very good exam techniques to help achieve the top grades'.

Tutoring Approach:
Lessons are interactive and very student focussed, building on what the student knows, with constant feedback to learn and improve throughout the lesson. I offer a tailored approach to the explanation of difficult concepts, and spend time going through past paper questions and mark schemes with an emphasis on exam technique. All lessons are fun and interactive with plenty of quizzes and questions. I keep an accurate learning record for my students to ensure that we make the best use of every lesson. Being a teacher, I mark hundreds of mock papers each year and I'm kept up to date with the latest training from exam boards. It also means I have access to the best teaching and exam materials.

Personal Description:
Hello to all prospective students. My name is Mark and I have been teaching secondary level Science and maths for over 10 years. I am personally passionate about learning and endeavour to ignite the same love of learning in each student that I teach.

I have loved science and maths from a young age and went on to pursue a degree in biomedical sciences, prior to my secondary teacher training. I hope to continue to work with young people to help them realise their own goals in the fields of science and engineering.

Outside the classroom I am an avid musician and play guitar to grade 6 as well as writing and recording my own songs. I love to listen to audiobooks about ancient history and geopolitics, often whilst on a long walk in the countryside. I also like to play some sports and swim occasionally.

Teaching Experience:
I am currently working across a multitude of schools in the North East of England for CER education resourcing. I have also worked as a science teacher for an outstanding rated academy, where I was personally graded outstanding as a teaching professional.

Throughout my career as a KS3/KS4 science teacher, I have taught and marked material for both AQA and EdExcel exam boards, which has given me an in depth knowledge of their expectations when it comes to GCSE exam preparations.

In recent years, I have also enjoyed teaching maths to key stage 3 across a variety of schools. As there are many mathematical principles which must also be applied to the sciences, teaching mathematics has helped me to develop teaching skills in both of these areas.

Tutoring Approach:
My initial goal whilst tutoring will be to assess a pupils abilities in each aspect of the subject, before moving on to anything specific. The logic behind this method of tutoring is to fill in any small gaps in basic subject knowledge so the students have a strong foundation with which to build on. From experience, this has always helped with pupil understanding and led to much better exam outcomes.

Later in the school year we will be able to work on application of knowledge which is essential for getting levels 7,8,9 in exams. I will introduce students to a variety of exam techniques so they will be able to choose the ones that lead to their best work.
