Information About Abi:


Personal Description:

I am a qualified and practising teacher currently working in a comprehensive school in the North West. I am experienced in teaching Chemistry and I am able to offer tuition for A Level and GCSE. I graduated from the University of Sheffield with a First Class BSc (Hons) Biochemistry and Genetics degree and completed a Chemistry PGCE at Liverpool John Moores University.

I am a friendly, professional and approachable person. I am able to work flexible hours after school in order to fit in with your requirements.



Teaching Experience:

I have taught AQA A Level and GCSE Chemistry for the last eight years. I am confident and knowledgeable on the specifications and structure and style of the exam questions. I have worked with all abilities of students on the exam techniques that they need to achieve in their exams. I have access to all the relevant teaching resources and knowledge needed to improve your understanding of Chemistry.

I have tutored Chemistry for seven years. I supported these students to improve their confidence in order to achieve their target grades or above.



Tutoring Approach:

I support students to develop their understanding of the key concepts within Chemistry and to build up their knowledge from there. This allows students to build confidence and consolidate prior learning. I use a variety of resources to aid retention and a lot of exam questions to practice exam technique. I will challenge students in order to help them achieve the best grades that they can in their exams. I encourage students to take ownership of their own learning throughout also preparing them for future study. All resources are included within my hourly fee.
