Private lessons in Math, Physics, Chemistry and SVTThe courses of Mathematics - Analysis - Matrices - Statistics - Algebra - Geometry - Physics - Mechanics - Electricity - Chemistry - Organic Chemistry - Biology, and Geology of secondary or university levels (French, Belgian, European, or international programs) are given by explanations either in-depth either by a quick course and summary of essential need depending on the case of each student supported by exercises from the book or assessments and exams from other high schools.
My experience is too long and for years I have learned methods for each case and for each student to fill in their gaps with the best results of Excellent, Very Good, and Good.
I can also help students to better prepare for courses and support them to better prepare for the duties of CNED in science subjects.

AQA A-Level chemistry exam preparation and content tutoring sessions“Chemistry at A-level is nothing like GCSE” , believe me I know. I understand how overwhelming the jump from GCSE chemistry to A-level chemistry can be. As a first year university student who has completed my chemistry A-level in the summer, I’ve been through the challenges you’re all facing and I’m here to help you overcome them. In my tutoring sessions we will focus on:
- mastering any topics from the AQA specification you guys are unsure about, breaking them down into easy to understand concepts and focusing on parts you need to know for your exam.
- practice exam questions in every session with detailed feedback to sharpen your exam technique and to know what the examiners are looking for.
-EFFECTIVE revision techniques which will help you retain any key bits of information.
Each session will leave you confident in chemistry, ensure you build a strong understanding of the topic and feel prepared for your exams.

✓Practical tools to perfect your rhetoric/repartee
