Emma A.

Hi! I am in my first year of university doing a bachelor's degree in chemistry. I love chemistry because it explains things about the world that I never thought to question, such as why ice floats in water! I have always excelled in maths and chemistry and look forward to passing my knowledge onto my students.

Having recently finished my A-levels and GCSEs myself, I remember how overwhelming and stressful they can be, and am eager to help grow my students' confidence in the subjects I teach.

About my sessions: In the run up to and during exam season I am available for both ongoing sessions in a subject and one-off sessions that target a problem topic in one go. I usually aim to adapt my sessions to the described needs of my student, after talking to them about what they want to achieve and how they like to learn. I like to combine verbal recaps and questioning on a topic with exam-style questions in order to check for gaps in knowledge and consolidate any found, thereby covering much of the content.
