Personally Interviewed

Our tutors go through a rigorous selection process, having been interviewed to assess their teaching skills and subject knowledge. They have extensive tutoring experience with a track record of success, helping students achieve their academic goals.

Tutoring Experience

I have 13 years of teaching experience, specializing in Chemistry across KS3 and IGCSE curricula. My international career includes schools in the UK, Korea, South Africa, Vietnam, Peru, and Georgia, where students consistently exceeded historical and national averages in Chemistry assessments. As Head of Science at the International School of Tbilisi, my department was recognised for exemplary practice during the 2019 COBIS inspection.

My experience extends to curriculum planning and designing customised Chemistry programs, particularly for students seeking an alternative to conventional schooling. I excel in inspiring students to develop a passion for Chemistry, even those disillusioned with traditional classes. During the pandemic, I transitioned to online teaching and became proficient in delivering engaging, interactive lessons tailored to individual needs.

Tutoring Approach

In IGCSE Chemistry, I utilise an interactive online platform to tailor lessons to each student’s unique needs. Lessons focus on reinforcing key concepts, addressing gaps in understanding, and building confidence through hands-on problem-solving and personalised feedback.
