Personal Message
I am an experienced, qualified teacher of Science and Maths. My students testify to my approachable nature and ability to help improve their understanding, while enjoying lessons.
Which subject(s) do you teach?
I teach AS and A2 Chemistry, AS and A2 Maths, GCSE Science subjects and GCSE Maths.
Tell me about your qualifications.
I have a degree from the University of Cambridge where I studied 'Natural Sciences' - my main subject was Chemistry, but I also studied Maths, Physics and Geology. My teaching qualification is a 'Post Graduate Certificate in Education' for teaching Sciences (11-16) and Chemistry (16-19), which I did at the University of Nottingham.
What kind of experience do you have?
I have been teaching for 15 years; I have taught at Paston Sixth Form College since 2007, where I currently work part-time teaching Chemistry. I have taught on a variety of courses over the past five years there, including A-level Chemistry, A-level Maths, GCSE Science and GCSE Maths.
How much do you charge?
£30 per hour - this includes my travel costs if you live up to 10 miles away from North Walsham; if I travel further to get to you I seek to negotiate a reasonable charge to cover costs. Tuition in a small group, eg as a pair or in a group of three, can work very well - this is charged at the same rate, but obviously you can share this between you.
Where do you teach?
As of March 2011... I am now able to travel to you - both within a 10 mile radius of North Walsham (eg Aylsham, Stalham, Hoveton, Wroxham, Mundesley, Bacton, Happisburgh) and further if not too difficult; I have previously tutored students in the North Norwich area (Eg Sprowston, Salhouse, Spixworth); north of North Walsham (areas including Cromer, Trunch, Gimingham, Overstrand, Mundesley) and Aylsham and surrounding areas.
When are you available?
Weekdays late afternoon / early evening.
Which ages and levels do you teach?
I tutor both school age and adult students; GCSE Science / Maths and A-level Chemistry / Maths. Chemistry is my original subject specialism, but I have also taught Maths extensively; at A-level I have experience of teaching the core modules ('pure' maths) and mechanics; I have also a little experience of S1
Do you have an up-to-date CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) disclosure certificate?
Yes.
Tell me about some of your current students.
I am currently tutoring a couple of students in Year 13 - one to help with Maths Core 3, 4 and Mechanics1, the other with A2 Chemistry and A2 Maths; I am also helping others with GCSE Science and Maths.

Is your Chemistry up to 'Spec'?!

'The Specification for [...insert name of subject here...]' is what the exam boards produce to outline what they want you to learn and how they will test you. In the old days it was more usually called 'The Syllabus' and was a much more straightforward list of just that - these days each subject has a thick book of its own, with lots of...
