University Chemistry Lecturer • 25 Years Applied Research • 15 Years Specialist A-Level Tutoring
PhD • University Lecturer • Industrial Chemistry Specialist
Throughout my 25-year career in applied chemistry, I have been fortunate to work on projects that solve genuine, real-world industrial challenges. This has included tackling corrosion issues for Aston Martin, contributing to pharmaceutical research with giants like GSK and AstraZeneca, and working on critical medical-related research. My experience spans food science, polymer chemistry, formulations, and nuclear chemistry.
This practical background is what makes my approach to A-level and university chemistry tuition different from any other. When I teach a concept—whether it is reaction kinetics, transition metal complexes, or organic synthesis—I am not simply reciting a textbook. I draw on direct, practical experience of how that theory is applied to solve major challenges in industry. I can show you why it matters.
My teaching philosophy starts with a simple but powerful belief: chemistry is much more straightforward than you might think. Unlike subjects that rely on heavy rote memorization, its beauty lies in understanding a small set of core principles and learning how to apply them.
It is often perceived as difficult only because the "why" behind the concepts gets lost in fast-paced school classrooms. We focus on grasping fundamental electrostatic and thermodynamic ideas first. Then, through targeted past-paper questions and our interactive student learning portal, everything begins to fall into place. My mission is to guide you to that moment where the subject "clicks"—building the confidence and skills you need to solve any exam problem.
As a current university chemistry lecturer, I know precisely what top university admissions tutors look for, giving my students an unmatched edge in exams and personal statements.
Deep familiarity with examiner quirks across AQA, OCR A, OCR B (Salters), and Edexcel so you avoid the subtle mark-losing pitfalls.
You are never just another student in a crowded class. You have my continuous support, detailed post-session feedback, and 24/7 access to video tutorials and practice questions.
