Tutoring Experience

Over the past 12 years, I've dedicated myself to tutoring students for the IB and IGCSE examinations. I began with private sessions at home, quickly expanding to online platforms, catering to students globally. I've worked closely with Helsinki's top schools, running chemistry workshops and revision sessions. My commitment to the subject, combined with my patient approach, has resulted in a significant number of my students obtaining the highest grades, with many pursuing Chemistry at the university level.

Tutoring Approach

Chemistry can be challenging, but I believe it's about connecting the dots. I begin by understanding the student's current level, identifying areas of strength and improvement. Each session is crafted to ensure foundational concepts are strong before advancing. Practical examples, from everyday life to advanced scientific processes, bridge gaps in understanding. My aim is to ensure students don't just learn, but genuinely understand, sparking a lasting curiosity in the world of molecules.
