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 Science, Head 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.
