Chemistry
Katy
Secondary School Tutor
About
I have been a Chemistry teacher for 14 years across 2 large secondary schools, an
international school in Abu Dhabi, a sixth form college and a therapeutic learning centre. I
have experience teaching AQA GCSE sciences, OCR A Level Chemistry, Edexcel A Level
Chemistry and AQA A Level Chemistry. My last full time role in a secondary school involved
working as a KS5 academic lead, and I loved mentoring A Level students through their
studies, teaching them habits for success that apply to all areas of their studies and life. I
now work part time so that I can be more present with my 2 year old son, and explore
options for focusing more on tutoring and working for exam boards.
Alongside teaching, I have worked with the Edexcel exam board for almost a decade as an
examiner, and now lead teams of examiners through the marking process during the
summer. This has been on both UK and international papers for A Level and GCSE.
Recently I was appointed a credible specialist for the sciences, acting as a point of contact
for schools to offer advice and training for the delivery of their qualifications. I also helped
build an online A Level course, working as one of a team of authors who designed bespoke
interactive lessons that would suit an online platform.

Frequently Asked Questions...
-
What is the benefit of online tutoring?You can access the lesson from anywhere in the world, meaning holidays, family visits, days out etc do not have to interfere with your child’s learning. All sessions are recorded, allowing you the option to rewatch sessions and helping to ensure your child’s safety online. It is easy for parents - there is no need to drop your child to a tutoring centre.
-
Are the tutors qualified?All tutors are qualified teachers. All tutors have years of experience and expertise teaching the British curriculum. All tutors are UK trained.
-
Can I select my child’s tutor from the website?We would be more than happy to discuss your preferences and help match your child to a tutor with the most appropriate skillset to progress your child.
-
What is the difference between 1:1 and group tuition?Group tuition can include up to a maximum of 5 students in total, whereas 1:1 tuition is a session with only your child. Group sessions will be created with children who have similar areas of focus and will be specific to the needs of the whole group. 1:1 tuition will solely focus on the needs of your child. Group tuition allows discussions, teamwork and the opportunity to learn from peers. Both sessions include a post-session reflection sent to parents, as well as input from your child's school teacher to help direct learning.
-
Is group tuition or 1:1 tuition more appropriate for my child?Both group and 1:1 tuition are beneficial in progressing the needs of your child. If you are unsure, please contact us so we can discuss the needs of your child and see which tuition would be most appropriate.
