Feedback on the Chemistry tutors we work with
"Dominic is an extremely able tutor, his tutoring rekindled my love for chemistry. Not only was he knowledgeable on the subject matter he also gave me useful exam tips and techniques. He was able to explain topics that I found particularly difficult despite being tutored in them several times, such as transition metals and electrode potentials. Dominic motivated me to believe in my ability which greatly improved my confidence."
A Level Chemistry student"Natasha helped my son enormously to prepare for these hard exams in all 3 Sciences - Physics, Chemistry and Biology - covering all points with him whilst helping/teaching him how to think and solve scientific questions by himself + practising past papers all along. Natasha is a lovely, kind, punctual, nice, friendly, responsible, committed and very professional & experienced Science tutor and we are very grateful to her for her precious lessons."

What is the Difference Between IGCSE and GCSE?
What are GCSEs and IGCSEs? The General Certificate in Secondary Education or GCSE is a subject-based academic qualification taken by students in the UK at the end of their compulsory education in Year 11 (age 16).
