About Alchemy Tuition

Founded by Mike Castle

Head of Science, Examiner, and Educational Leader

I’m Mike Castle, founder of Alchemy Tuition and a science educator with over 20 years of teaching and leadership experience.

As a Head of ScienceHead of Faculty, and examiner, I’ve spent my career helping students replace frustration with confidence and rediscover their belief in learning.

I created Alchemy Tuition to bring that same transformation to more learners — turning uncertainty into clarity, and potential into achievement.

I want every student to leave lessons feeling calmer, clearer and more confident — no matter where they start.

We begin by understanding each learner’s unique mix of strengths, gaps, and mindset.
