About The Careful Chemist
I’m a qualified A-level Chemistry teacher with 19 years of Sixth Form teaching experience, as well as many years marking for Edexcel.
Throughout my teaching career, I noticed that the highest-performing students were often my careful chemists: the ones who understood the chemistry, but also paid close attention to signs, units, wording, terminology, working out, and what exam questions were really asking.
That same careful approach shapes my tutoring. I help you build a clear understanding of the chemistry, strengthen your exam technique, and avoid the little mistakes that can cost marks — all in a calm, precise and supportive way.
