I have a love of learning and teaching chemistry which led to my career in medicine. Chemistry is often regarded as the toughest of the three core science subjects; when I was at school I found that I spent a lot of time struggling to understand concepts and their relevance. I really benefited from spending time understanding the basics and from there I learned to enjoy delving into the more complicated topics in chemistry. Chemistry is such an exciting subject to teach and learn once these basics are understood and my time as a doctor has proved the importance of the application of the fundamentals of chemistry that I learned at GCSE and A-Level. My qualifications are A* at GCSE and A at A-Level as well as a degree in Medicine from the University of Southampton. I hope that I can not only improve the grades for your child but also develop a genuine interest for this subject.
