Exam boards that are covered
My daughter has really benefited from online Chemistry tutoring
“Mike has an excellent and engaging teaching style and a gift for explaining difficult concepts in a way that’s easy to understand. Since starting these sessions, my daughter’s confidence in her Chemistry ability has completely turned around. She now feels capable, motivated and positive about the subject. We are very grateful for the support and highly recommend Mike!”
A highly experienced, knowledgeable, and helpful tutor
“He is also a departmental head who has insight and understanding of both AS and A2 level WJEC examinations. Our son made immediate progress with him and liked his teaching style, which was as good as you could wish for. I recommend him very highly.”
SO glad that we have found Mike.
“We are so glad that we have found Mike. He pitches the lessons just right, and our daughter says she’s now enjoying Chemistry again after losing her confidence. He is clearly very experienced and puts that knowledge into his lessons. Thank you!”
Mike was amazing and inspired confidence,
We used Mike for tutoring our grandson to get him on track for his required results. Mike was amazing and inspired confidence, which is such an important aspect of exam revision. Would strongly recommend Mike to any potential clients.
