Tutoring Experience

Over the past 12 years, I have had the privilege of helping students excel in Chemistry, specializing in the IB and IGCSE curricula. My journey began as a classroom teacher, where I quickly realized my passion for one-on-one tutoring. I’ve since transitioned into full-time tutoring, focusing on providing personalized support to each of my students. In addition to tutoring, I have also worked as an IB Chemistry examiner, which gives me unique insights into what examiners are looking for. My experience as an examiner has greatly enhanced my ability to prepare students effectively for their exams. I believe in creating a supportive and interactive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and exploring concepts in depth. Seeing my students achieve their academic goals is the most rewarding aspect of my work.

Tutoring Approach

My approach to tutoring is rooted in understanding each student’s unique learning style and adapting my methods accordingly. I strive to make Chemistry relatable and engaging by linking theoretical concepts to real-world applications. I incorporate a variety of resources, including interactive simulations and practice exams, to ensure that students not only understand the material but are also well-prepared for their assessments. Building a strong foundation in the basics is crucial, so I emphasize core concepts before moving on to more complex topics. My goal is to empower students with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed, both in their exams and in their future studies.
