Oxford PhD Chemistry Tutor | Early Secondary, KS2, KS3, GCSE, A-level & IB | 13+ Years’ Experience | Build Understanding & Top Exam Grades

I’m a biochemist with a DPhil (PhD) in Biochemistry from the University of Oxford and over 13 years’ experience tutoring school-level Chemistry. I studied at Shrewsbury School, then Imperial College London with a first class for my Bachelor’s degree, before completing my doctorate at Oxford, where my research was published in leading scientific journals. This means I don’t just know the KS2 to GCSE, A-level and IB syllabuses – I work with Chemistry and related sciences at a very high level and understand exactly how the school material builds towards real-world science and university study. I also myself have achieved A* for Chemistry at A-level and GCSE, so I truly understand what it takes to achieve top grades. I specialise in preparing students for all the main UK exam boards: AQA, OCR, Edexcel, WJEC and CIE as well as IB Chemistry (SL/HL) and Cambridge Pre-U Chemistry. As a tutor, I’m calm, organised and very student-focused. I’m used to working with a wide range of learners – from students who are really struggling with the basics and need Chemistry to feel less overwhelming, to ambitious students aiming for A/A* and competitive courses such as Medicine, Natural Sciences and related degrees. In addition, I have: • Prepared students for the Chemistry Olympiad • Supported many students applying for competitive university courses, especially Oxbridge • Helped with course selection, personal statement drafting and mock interviews for Biology, Biochemistry, Natural Sciences, Medicine and Biomedical Sciences for Oxbridge. My students and their parents often comment on: • clear, step-by-step explanations of tricky topics • patience and encouragement, especially when confidence is low • thorough preparation and tailored lesson plans • a strong focus on exam technique as well as understanding Whether a student is trying to secure a solid pass or push into top grades, my aim is the same: deep understanding, sharp exam skills and genuine confidence in Chemistry. Many students find Chemistry abstract and overwhelming – lots of symbols, equations and exceptions. In my lessons we make the subject clear, logical and exam-focused, so you truly understand it and can turn that understanding into marks.
