I have over 4 years of experience in tutoring the sciences across a range of exam boards and levels, and am focused on ensuring each of my students understands how they will best reach their goals.
I am passionate about the subjects that I tutor, and am able to deliver them in innovative and engaging ways. My aim is to build up the confidence of my students in any given subject, and to help each individual to realise their potential.

Chemistry job with Stanislava:
Over 2 hrs/week - Good morning,
I'm looking for highly qualified and experienced professional tutor for my two boys, both about to start the CIE A Level chemistry. Unfortunately we now have seen the timetable for new academic year and their chemistry teacher we know is not so strong (previous was excellent, both achieved level 9 in IGCSE) so we require support from outstanding tutor. Both are hard-working and dedicated, love science and have ambitions of research careers.
Please, am seeking experienced professional tutors only. Thank you. Stanislava
Extensive subject knowledge and awareness of tricky concepts that cause problems. Easy to talk to. Can quickly devise strategies that can be used to help make rapid progress towards your goals. Can cover any exam board for GCSE chemistry and physics. Excellent knowledge of all UK Chemistry A level boards: OCR, AQA, OCR B, WJEC (Eduqas in England), Edexcel. Overseas boards, Cambridge International and Edexcel International chemistry A level are no problem. I aim to provide regular feedback and marking advice as part of the service.

Robert's last review in A Level Chemistry from Mrs: Please could you cover paper 2 for Lottie, (rate and extent of chemical change, organic chem, chemical analysis, chemistry of atmosphere, and using resources), and organic and electrochemical cells for Ellie. Thanks Excellent
I recently retired after 40 years teaching chemistry.
I was Head of Chemistry for 35 years and in Charge of Science for 22 years.
I won the 2016 Royal Society of Chemistry Education Award.
I have an extensive website and YouTube Channel to provide post lesson support.
For many years I was a home tutor of GCE Chemistry, using CCEA, AQA, OCR and EDEXCEL
Specifications. Over the last 2 years I have added the WJEC Specification.
Upon retirement I took up a senior position with the CCEA examining team for GCE Chemistry.
As a result I am unable to tutor students for that specification.
Comfortable with teaching online using the Spires platform,
I have an enormous bank of teaching and assessment resources available at the click of a mouse.
Thanks for you interest.
Frank.
Frank's last completed A Level Chemistry job with Zoe: 1-2 hrs/week - Looking for a highly engaging, very supportive and experienced chemistry tutor to assist my daughter through her Chemistry A levels which she will be starting this September in the UK. With first-class support from a Spires Tutor at GCSE my daughter achieved 9,8 in combined science. Recognising that A levels is a huge step up we are looking to build a great relationship with a new chemistry tutor for the next two years. Unfortunately, her fantastic GCSE tutor does not offer support in Chemistry at A-level.
Frank's last review in A Level Chemistry from RAHIYA: Organic Chemistry Great explaining and patient with responses
I am a qualified chemistry teacher with a Master's, Doctorate and teaching qualification from three Russell group universities. I am also an examiner for GCSE, A Level and IB Diploma so can offer advice and strategies to improve exam technique.
With over 15 years’ experience, I have helped hundreds of students gain more confidence and achieve exam success. Exam results from summer 2019:
• 88% of students achieved top grades
• IB chemistry (Higher Level) – two students achieved level 7, two students achieved level 6
• A Level chemistry – three students achieved A*, four students achieved A, two students achieved B (several of these were predicted C/D!)
• GCSE/IGCSE – three students achieved level 9, two students achieved level 8
My recent students have gone on to study at the Royal Veterinary College, Cambridge University, Oxford University, Manchester University, Edinburgh University, Imperial College (London), Kings College (London), Durham University, Queen Mary (London), Newcastle University, Leeds University, Bristol University and University College (London).
One of the most experienced and successful online tutors, I have delivered over 5,000 hours' online tuition to students in 16 countries! As a full-time professional chemistry tutor, I am 100% committed to my students' success and guarantee a reliable and professional service.

Dr Carl's last review in A Level Chemistry from Patricia: he explain everything so clearly and its really easy to follow through what he is teaching.
First up, I enjoy the subjects I tutor immensely and I feel this is one of the most important qualities in a good tutor. In addition, I am friendly and confident and have experience of communicating with others in a teaching environment. Coupled with my enthusiasm for the subjects, this will make for a productive and enjoyable learning environment for students. I have extensive tutoring experience, particularly at GCSE and A-levels and have been working with some students for multiple years. Beyond this, I have been asked by my school to return after my first year of university to regularly help prospective Oxbridge students with their personal statements and applications and was an advisor on interview technique.
William's last completed A Level Chemistry job with dylan: Occasional - B grade at moment needs to move to A or A star
William's last review in A Level Chemistry from Fleur: Really good lesson.
I have more than four years experience in tutoring, both one to one and small groups.
I work at Kaplan International College where I teach Chemistry, maths and Statistics at Foundation level.
I have extensive experience in working with children, teenagers and adults.
I think that the role of a private tutor is to teach effectively a subject, develop self-confidence in the student and teach him/her to study in autonomy.
Eleonora's last completed A Level Chemistry job with Elizabeth: 1-2 hrs/week - Tutoring for ALevel Chemistry
Eleonora's last review in A Level Chemistry from Kaschta: . Really enjoyed the session with Eleonora. I was taught about Polymers and I got an idea of her teaching style, overall - really pleased!
I am a volunteer for a number of organisations which aim to help disadvantaged students reach university and have tutored a number of students to success in their exams so I have a lot of experience of working with young people and helping them to reach their potential. I am happy to help as a subject specific tutor for GCSE or A-Level, or help students through the sometimes daunting university application process and admissions tests.
About my tutorials:
Sessions are always student-led. I plan tutorials which reflect the student's level of understanding, giving access to notes, including suggested exam questions, which the student can add to during the tutorial, or use as a memory-aid following the tutorial.
I have received lots of positive feedback about this approach.
I can also help students through questions or tasks which they bring, and the best tutorials involve this collaborative input.
The pace of sessions is determined by the student, and I am happy to go through any topic with a number of different approaches until we find one which the student finds helpful.
Chloe's last completed A Level Chemistry job with Jamie : 1-2_HOURS - I am looking for an A grade
Chloe's last review in A Level Chemistry from maihan: Chemistry past papers Thank you so much :)
I have been a Chemistry tutor with Spires for three years, during which time I have tutored A Level students, university applicants, undergraduate and postgraduate students. I mostly work with A- Level Chemistry students - last year my best student improved from a B grade (predicted) to an A* grade (actual) in 17 lessons.
Milo's last completed A Level Chemistry job with Anthony: - New a level spec
I have been teaching KS3 Science, GCSE Chemistry and A-Level Chemistry to over 150 students since August 2017. I also run an introductory undergraduate chemistry club for those interested in pursuing chemistry to degree level, the aptly named ‘Geek Club’.
I have 200 hours of tutoring experience including over 100 hours tutoring online with Spires.
I graduated with a Masters in Chemistry from the University of Oxford, which included achieving distinction in quantum chemistry and a Masters thesis on chemical education presented at the Variety in Chemistry Education (VICE) conference. Central to my project is understanding how people learn, and identifying common misconceptions that students have prior to encountering a new topic. Developing this foundation in educational theory has undoubtedly improved the way I teach, and I do my best to continue adapting my techniques as I read new literature.
Tom's last completed A Level Chemistry job with Charlotte: Intensive - I would like to get an A.
Tom's last review in A Level Chemistry from Natalie: as discussed Brilliant tutor! thank you for all your help!
Experience.
Amongst other students and balancing degree work, I have recently home-schooled a student through her GCSE Biology, Chemistry and Physics exams. I taught the courses over 1 year instead of 2, and taking her from a predicted B in double award to A/B/B in separate sciences. Most tutoring was over Skype, so I'm familiar with how to keep attention over video and check students understanding without being in the room. I've been working with Spires for almost a year now and I'm really enjoying the platform.
Florence's last completed A Level Chemistry job with Mishika : 2_HOURS - a in exams
Florence's last review in A Level Chemistry from Kaschta: Introduction and a look at carboxylic acid derivatives and their reactions I really enjoyed the trial session. Florence really helped me understand the topic in greater depth and was able to identify and correct my understanding of electrophiles, nucleophiles and the process of nucleophilic addition elimination. Overall - really impressed! :)
