I graduated with a first class honours degree in Natural Sciences (Chemistry) from the University of Cambridge in 2017, and am now completing a Masters degree in Chemistry. I have four years of previous part-time teaching/ tutoring experience, both in person and online, and am able to assist in a variety of science subjects. Additionally, I have experience as a classroom teacher and private tutor in China, teaching English during my year abroad and two summer camp internships. Since 2013, I have reviewed UCAS personal statements and given mock interviews for various science subjects - including over 10 successful Oxbridge applicants. Therefore, I am also happy to assist with UCAS/ Oxbridge application advice.

            I begin lessons by discussing any issues the student has had that week in class, briefly reviewing the topics covered the previous week or any homework set, then working through worksheets and past exam questions. I usually set a small amount of homework each week to revise the topics covered in our lessons.
