Tutoring Experience

With over 16 years of experience teaching Chemistry, I focus exclusively on international curricula such as IB DP HL/SL Chemistry. I prioritise personalised instruction, tailoring lessons to address individual knowledge gaps and build exam readiness. My approach includes regular feedback to parents and custom resources to ensure measurable academic growth and a deeper understanding of the subject.

Tutoring Approach

I employ a highly interactive, question-driven approach to tutoring IB Chemistry, emphasising active engagement and critical thinking. My strategy involves identifying knowledge gaps, reinforcing core concepts, and preparing students with past papers and tailored mock exams reflecting IB assessment standards. I monitor progress closely and maintain open communication with parents to ensure consistent improvement and mastery in Chemistry.

"Thus far she has been quite helpful with all the content we have covered. She has provided good resources for practice and is good at making concepts that used to be hard for me stick better. I hope that she can continue to provide me with resources for practice and for stuff that I can be doing outside of the lessons to solidify my understanding."
