A little about me:
For some reason Chemistry makes me happy. I know that`s not always the same for my students; some have their sights set on other academic goals! My job is to help students understand by breaking down complex ideas, then rebuilding with exam-style scenarios.
I have worked hard to understand how to communicate the more complex concepts and calculations more clearly to students, and how guided practise can help them with exam techniques and success.
My resources library is extensive, multi-levelled and linked to the contemporary requirements of the exam boards.
I have been working online since 2016 and have contributed towards academic research into maximising student progress in online scenarios with Durham University
I have been working as a private tutor on a full time basis for over 5 years. I have joined the National Tutoring Programme through Edexcel and Pearson as a tutor and advisor. In addition to Chemistry tuition, I also work as a tutor for the Dept. of Academic Development at Durham University (EAP).

Jan 2023I would recommend Olivia to any students struggling with A-level chemistry. Her lessons were incredibly useful and helped me to understand every topic on the syllabus that I had problems learning on my own. Sessions with Olivia were always enjoyable and always tailored to my learning style which made studying chemistry a lot easier as someone with ADHD. I received an A thanks to her help. -

Jan 2023After a year of inadequate teaching in Chemistry at school, my daughter finished Yr 10 lacking confidence in the subject and feeling like she could do much better. Olivia completely turned the situation around. Her flexible approach meant that my daughter was able to focus on areas where she needed most help. Olivia`s patience meant that my daughter was comfortable spending time on topics until she fully understood. She found Olivia`s explanations very clear and easy to understand. All this, combined with Olivia`s thorough knowledge of exam techniques, resulted in my daughter regaining her confidence in Chemistry and getting a top grade in her GCSE exam. -

Jan 2023Olivia is one the best tutors my daughter have so far. She prepared each session with sample questions, so we not only just go through the topic, it also gives us opportunity to practice. It works very well for my daughter. Thank you so much!
