Online Chemistry Tutor Dr Carl

I hold a PhD in Organic Chemistry (Durham University), an MChem in Medicinal Chemistry (University of Manchester), and a PGCE in Secondary Chemistry (Newcastle University).

As a current examiner and co-author of 'Chemistry for Cambridge International AS & A Level: Exam Preparation and Practice' (Cambridge University Press), I bring insider expertise to refine exam strategies and technique.

My teaching approach prioritises building rock-solid theoretical foundations, eliminating gaps and misconceptions, before advancing to rigorous exam practice. For preparation, I assign timed exercises and full papers, providing detailed marking and feedback to sharpen technique, sidestep pitfalls, and elevate responses.

All students receive tailored, high-quality resources (revision notes and specification-matched past paper booklets) at no extra cost.

For those aiming for top grades (A*/A or 6/7), we focus on advanced problem-solving and deeper insights, tackling my curated database of 'stretch and challenge' questions designed for elite performers.

Prior to full-time tutoring, I founded and led an R&D company serving global pharmaceutical clients. This industrial background enriches lessons with real-world applications, fostering the vocational skills essential for competitive pathways in medicine, dentistry, and veterinary science.

I also provide targeted guidance on UCAS personal statements, interviews, and chemistry-related career paths, helping students secure places at elite universities like Oxbridge, Imperial College, and more.
