Chelsey

Hi, I'm Chelsey a fully qualified Science teacher, tutor and AQA examiner with 13 years of experience. I am patient kind and encouraging and have a passion for engaging students and allowing them to reach their full potential. I have a deep knowledge of the various exam board specifications, test papers and mark schemes for GCSE Science's.

Teaching Experience

I have a 1st Class Honour's degree in Biomedical Science from King's College London, as well as a PGCE in Secondary Science teaching from University College London (UCL). I have also undertaken research for a PhD funded by Diabetes UK into the mechanisms of development of type 1 diabetes.

I have taught in Outstanding Grammar school's in Buckinghamshire for the past 13 years. Along side this I run 1:1 private tutoring sessions to support and enhance children's learning and progress.

I am very experienced with teaching children who have a range of SEN needs and I possess a wide array of teaching strategies to engage learner's with my lessons.

She explains everything very well and has managed to get across topics that my daughter previously didnt understand. This has massively increased her confidence for the upcoming exams. I would highly recommend.

Justine - Very pleased with the progress my daughter is now making with the help of Chelsey, she is now much more confident about her upcoming sciences exams

Alexander - My daughter has found Chelsey a great tutor: she has really helped her with her GCSE chemistry. Chelsey is very organised, prompt and personable. Would recommend her highly.

Wendie - An excellent tutor who made my daughter`s lessons fun as well as informative, restored her confidence and helped her gain the GCSE Science grade she wanted.

Tutoring Approach

My lessons are fun and structured, yet tailored to each individual child. I quickly build relationships to identify gaps in knowledge and build a clear plan to fill these. This enables your child to feel as confident and well prepared for their exams as possible.

Lessons contain animations, mini plenaries and quiz's to check understanding as well as a clear focus on exam technique. We will often use the second half of the lesson to practise application of knowledge to exam questions. This enables students to get "in the mind" of the examiner so that they are fully prepared for their exams.

Chelsey has been an exemplary tutor and a fantastic support to our son through 3 tough year's of the Science GCSE course. She is polite, organised and really motivated our son to get through his GCSE's providing him with the most up to date resources and revision materials during and after his lessons. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Chelsey as a tutor.

Chelsey was an excellent tutor for our daughter, teaching her over a two year period resulting in her getting an 8 in physics. Always professional, friendly, reliable and my daughter really enjoyed the sessions together. I couldn't recommend her enough.

If you are lucky enough to have found Chelsey on this website then I would recommend you get in touch quickly and see if she has any availability. We are delighted with Chelsey. She is a very experienced tutor with great exam knowledge too. She is always kind, encouraging, reliable, prepared & enthusiastic. Chelsey is a real find and has everything you could want in a tutor. Thank you, Chelsey!

Chelsey is an organised, professional, and personable tutor who connected exceptionally well with my time-limited son, who competes at an elite sports level. After conducting an assessment, Chelsey effectively gauged his understanding across the three sciences, pinpointing weaknesses in his exam technique. She addressed these areas with comprehensive explanations and ample practice. We committed to weekly one-hour sessions starting in September of Year 11, and as a result, my son achieved an impressive 8/7 in combined science with minimal additional revision outside of his sessions with Chelsey. I highly recommend her services and am already booking her for my younger son.

Chelsey has been invaluable in helping our daughter in Y9 with all three science subjects and providing her with the extra support and time she needs in the run up to her GCSEs. We’ve seen a real improvement in both her confidence - and her test results! Would definitely recommend Chelsey.

Chelsey tutored our daughter for her final year of GCSEs. She was fantastic, and i can't recommend her highly enough. Our Daughter had a series of science subs at school for the first year of GCSEs and her knowledge needed clarity and boosting across all three subjects. With Chelsea's tutoring our daughter was able to take all three higher papers with confidence. We have been thrilled with the help and support she has been able to give.

Chelsey is an exceptional tutor who quickly established a strong connection with my daughter. From their very first session, it was clear that Chelsey possessed a deep understanding of the subject matter and also a genuine talent for engaging and motivating her students. She skilfully assessed my daughter's strengths and areas for improvement, then developed a tailored approach to address specific challenges in the curriculum. Chelsea is able to break down complex concepts into manageable, easy-to-understand portions and it's easy to see that she is a skilled and experienced teacher. As a result of Chelsey's dedicated efforts, we saw consistent and significant improvement in my daughter's test results. I have absolutely no hesitation in wholeheartedly recommending Chelsey as a tutor. Her expertise, dedication, and ability to connect with students make her an invaluable asset to any student looking to improve their academic performance.

Chelsey has given our daughter her confidence back. She has helped to fill in some of the content blanks and helped enormously with exam technique. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her!

Chelsey was amazing … my daughter clicked immediately and was able to work in her challenges . Highly recommend Chelsey

Chelsey is an outstanding tutor. My daughter’s GCSE subject knowledge and confidence has rocketed in the short time she has had Chelsey. My daughter absolutely loves the structure of her lessons. Each lesson starts with a very clear explanation using PowerPoints and visual online learning resources, followed by exam questions which are then marked during the lesson using the mark scheme. Sharing the mark scheme on screen has been invaluable as my daughter is shown what the examiners are looking for. Chelsey is pacy which really suits my daughter but equally, checks for understanding regularly. Chelsey is very organised and professional - she always emails the exam questions in advance and the PowerPoints afterwards for revision purposes and always responds to emails quickly. Chelsey is kind, enthusiastic and supportive. Her lessons have already made a huge difference to my daughter’s learning and I would highly recommend her. Thank you Chelsey!
