Examiner Experience of OCR A and Edexcel board for A level Chemistry and GCSE exams. Assistant Head of Science, Head of Chemistry and Chartered Teacher teaching various educational sectors from more than 14 years.

Having marked exams for these boards, I know exactly what examiners are looking for. I use this insight to teach exam techniques directly, helping students structure answers the way examiners want to see them, not just the way the textbook explains them.

I hold an M.Sc. and M.Phil. in Chemistry, and have taught across the State sector, Private Sixth Form Colleges, and FE, covering GCSE, iGCSE, A level (including fast-track groups), university foundation programmes, and Access to HE courses in Science and Pharmacy. I also spent time overseas in India as Head of Chemistry, teaching GCSE and A level students.

My wide range of teaching experience has enabled me to work effectively with students from different social, educational, and cultural backgrounds. I tailor lessons to each student's educational needs, providing academic guidance alongside subject teaching, and offer friendly, relaxed sessions suited exactly to what the pupil requires. I enjoy adapting my style to whatever a student needs, whether that's confidence-building, filling knowledge gaps, or pushing for top grades.

I believe every student learns differently, and I tailor each lesson accordingly. My sessions are relaxed but focused, designed to build genuine understanding rather than memorisation, helping students think logically, make connections, and apply their knowledge confidently. I place strong emphasis on past papers practice, since this is consistently what prepares students best for the exam itself.

I always encourage my students to be proactive and ask for support when needed, and I focus on helping them maximise their potential through targeted revision and exam technique.
