I am an international student from Amsterdam and a recent graduate of Chemistry at King's College London. I have lots of experience tutoring, for a variety of ages and subjects (Chemistry, Maths, and Physics especially). I never thought I would end up studying Chemistry but I love that my degree encompassed all the aspects of STEM that I so very much enjoy. I know that these subjects can be difficult to wrap your head around but I'm happy to help solidify understanding so that all the tools are at your disposal!

I like to centre my tutoring sessions around gaining confidence in the topics that are harder, and knowing how to apply said topics to questions. I truly believe that being confident in your understanding of a topic can go a long way and really sets the path to a good learning experience along with a knack and passion for the subject.

I always start sessions off with learning more about the student. What are the areas they like? What things make them feel less confident? What things help them learn? What are they lacking? I use syllabus outlines, past paper questions, and other facilities that are at my disposal to pin point exactly where the student is at, where they want to be, and how we can get them there.

I like to ensure that my students have a place to go for help outside of tutoring sessions. I do this by preparing a resource bank that's tailored to each individual student. This gives them links to notes, guidelines, videos that help solidify understanding, and many more. This way they don't feel lost without the guidance of a tutor and have things to refer to outside of the sessions.

I ensure that I'm keeping the parents up to date after every session, and like to map a trajectory of a student's experiences, by taking the occasional 15 minutes to see how far they've come and what still needs work after every few sessions (usually every 4-5 sessions).
