My Articles

Chemistry in Industry

I have spent over twenty five years in industry, mainly in chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Having left the world of chemical manufacturing I decided to turn my skills to teaching. I wanted to give some of my experience back to the potential scientists of tomorrow. I wanted to show students that science isn't the scary monster they all think it...

My Testimonials

Many thanks for your help. I found our sessions very useful. It was very beneficial and encouraging, going through the things that I was not very sure about and having you explain it clearly. I liked the way you didn’t rush, going at the pace that was needed.

I felt a lot more confident after each session.

Thanks for doing the research in areas we weren’t sure about and listening to the things that I wanted to cover.

You were always polite, positive and arrived on time.

Many thanks
