About Theo
I’m a first-year Chemistry undergraduate at Durham University, offering GCSE Chemistry tutoring hoping to make STEM subjects accessible and high-scoring for my students. I achieved a grade 9 in GCSE Chemistry (91%) and an A* in A-Level Chemistry (88%). Overall, I earned 5 A*s at A-Level in Chemistry, Maths, Physics, Biology, and an EPQ, and 9 grade 9s and 2 grade 8s at GCSE.
I tailor each lesson to my students' difficulties whether these are to do with knowledge gaps, academic confidence or struggles with exam technique. During my lessons, I walk my students through topics while doing practice questions ensuring they can understand the knowledge and apply it effectively to answer exam questions.
I help students tackle exams with confidence, showing them how to “play the exam game” and pick up marks efficiently. I love breaking down tricky concepts into simple, easy-to-understand steps, so learning feels less stressful and more manageable.
I’m friendly and approachable, so no question is ever too small. I’ve been confused by subjects myself, and I’ve spent a lot of time teaching myself these topics from scratch. My lessons are designed to build confidence, resilience, and understanding, so students feel capable and ready for any challenge.

I’m a first-year Chemistry undergraduate at Durham University, offering GCSE Chemistry tutoring hoping to make STEM subjects accessible and high-scoring for my students. I achieved a grade 9 in GCSE Chemistry (91%) and an A* in A-Level Chemistry (88%). Overall, I earned 5 A*s at A-Level in Chemistry, Maths, Physics, Biology, and an EPQ, and 9 grade 9s and 2 grade 8s at GCSE.
My lessons are structured, supportive, and tailored to each student. Before we begin, I identify what the student finds most difficult, whether that’s specific topics or exam technique and I plan lessons around those areas.
Each lesson usually follows a clear format:
- A brief check-in and recap
- Clear explanation of key ideas, broken down into simple, easy-to-understand steps
- Guided practice using exam-style questions
- Support with how to structure answers and pick up marks
- A short summary and optional follow-up practice
I focus heavily on exam technique, showing students how to “play the exam game” and understand what examiners are really looking for. I use real past-paper questions and mark schemes so students learn how to apply their knowledge effectively in exams, not just memorise content.
My teaching style is friendly and approachable. No question is ever too small. I know first-hand how confusing STEM subjects can feel, and I’ve spent a lot of time teaching myself these topics from scratch. Because of this, I’m patient and happy to explain things in different ways until they make sense.
Overall, my aim is to help students build confidence, resilience, and strong understanding, so they feel calm, prepared, and capable going into their exams.
