Chemistry
WHAT WE COVER AT KS1-3 AND GCSE
A subject which can be spectacular and enlightening if taught well, Science is a challenge to master but a most rewarding acquisition for all pupils. Increasingly vital in the modern world, Science is provided by our tutors as a subject of great depth. We select only the finest brains to teach this subject and all of them have the open mind necessary to teach this in the right way.
For primary and early secondary school pupils, we offer tutors able to break the subject down, extract its most exciting elements, guide a pupil through how to put visual wonders onto paper and in explanation and, wherever possible, provide practical experiments which are spectacular but not too messy! For GCSE and A-Level pupils, we provide tutors who are able to efficiently direct a pupil’s knowledge into exam-suitable analysis, stimulate interest, create memory techniques and open doors to their futures.
