About Max
Hi - I'm Max. I've just graduated from Imperial College London with a first-class degree in Chemistry, and before that I took the same exams you're facing now: A* in Chemistry, Maths and Physics at A-Level, top grades at GCSE.
I'll be straight with you: I'm not a career schoolteacher. What I am is someone who sat these exact papers recently - recently enough to remember exactly which topics feel impossible at first, which mark-scheme phrases examiners are actually looking for, and which parts of the course eat your revision time without ever earning you marks. That's the gap I fill. Your teacher covers the syllabus; I show you how the exam actually works.
When I started A-Level Chemistry, I found it genuinely hard. What turned it around wasn't memorising more - it was learning to understand why reactions happen, so that unfamiliar questions (the ones that decide the A*) stopped being frightening. That approach got me my grades and my place at Imperial, and it's exactly what I teach.
Since joining Superprof I've taught 20 students,and I've never dropped below five stars. Have a scroll through what they've said below - then send me a message and let's see if I can do the same for you.

What happens in our first (free) 30 minutes:
Bring a recent paper or test that didn't go well. Before we even meet, send it over and I'll go through it - so instead of a getting-to-know-you chat, you get a diagnosis: whether your marks are being lost to content gaps, application or exam technique. They're three different problems with three different fixes and most tutoring wastes months treating the wrong one.
How ongoing lessons work:
Every session is built around your exam board - AQA, OCR or Edexcel - because they phrase questions differently and reward different things. We work through real past-paper questions together and I don't just tell you the answer: I show you how the mark scheme thinks. Why "explain" needs two linked points and "state" doesn't. Where the predictable marks are that most students hand back. How to structure a 6-marker so the examiner can't not give you the marks.
The topics I spend most of my time on (because they're where grades are actually lost):
— Organic chemistry and mechanisms
— Moles, stoichiometry and titration calculations
— Electrochemistry and redox
— Rates, equilibria and energetics
— Transition metals and periodicity (A-Level)
— Required practicals and how they're examined
Between lessons you'll get the worked solutions from our session plus a short, targeted set of questions on exactly what we covered. No busywork - the point is that next lesson starts from evidence of what stuck.
Who I teach: GCSE (including Combined Science), A-Level and IB Chemistry, plus KS3 students building foundations early. All lessons online, one-to-one.
The first 30 minutes are free so the only thing a message costs you is finding out whether this works. If you send that past paper with your first message, I'll come to our session with a plan already written.
Reviews
All the reviews collected from students are verified by our team. They are therefore reliable and correspond to a real experience with Max.
Perfect! My nephew has been having regular chemistry GCSE revision sessions with Max and after just one session he commented that he had "already gone up a grade" with his new understanding of something he wasn't clear on! He was very happy about that. He is loving his lessons with Max, having lots of "light bulb" moments and says that things are explained clearly and methodically and he feels well prepared for his forthcoming GCSE. Max has been flexible and accommodating and I highly recommend him.
- It is great tutoring Shay, he is always eager to learn and engaged.Max's response :
Perfect! Max tutored my younger sister A level chemistry and was incredibly patient. He took the time to go over the more challenging end-of-page questions. His clear explanations made complex topics much easier to understand. Highly recommended for anyone aiming for top grades!
- It is a pleasure tutoring Fatima. I look forward to seeing her progress in the future!Max's response :
Perfect! Max has been a wonderful tutor from the very first trial lesson, comfortable with the subject (a real expert) and establishing an excellent rapport with my son who is aiming for an A* in chemistry (OCR specification A). He was adaptable, easy-going and turned the lessons to suit his student's ability and ambition. Max is a credit to the Superprof platform and is highly recommended to everyone! A*A*A*
- Alessio is a wonderful student and a pleasure to tutor.Max's response :
Perfect! Fab kid! Knowledge at 100%. Well prepared.
- Really great lesson with Arya, he picks up new concepts quickly and is lovely to talk toMax's response :

He’s a lovely young man and his teaching for my little one is just wonderful. Always comes to the sessions with a big smile and makes sure each lesson is fun no matter the topic!
I couldn’t recommend max higher. For the past 7 or 8 months he has seen my son do a complete turnaround on his mathematical skills. He has gone from hating the subject to even enjoying it! Great work max.
As a fellow student, I can say with certainty that Max has a gift for breaking down the most complex ideas into simple, logical steps. He's incredibly bright and a natural teacher. You'll be in great hands.
Max was a brilliant help for my younger sister's GCSE Maths. He is incredibly patient and has a real talent for making difficult topics easy to understand. Her confidence and grades improved so much!
Max is a committed, reliable and talented person. I have known Max for 18 years as a family friend and he is always kind and thoughtful.
I recommend him to Superproof members.Max and I are both studying Chemistry at Imperial College London. Max always offers to help me when struggling with tricky concepts or questions, explaining them in a detailed and efficient manner.
Even if I don’t understand his explanation initially, he will try approaching the concept or question from a different perspective until I understand it. He is a very personable and intelligent man.Max was very friendly and understanding when I was struggling with some topics in Chemistry, and really helped me get to grips with them.
Max is absolutely fantastic. He’s patient, friendly, and always super helpful. Plus, he really knows his stuff when it comes to Math, Chemistry, and Physics!

To Whom It May Concern:
Re: Character Reference - Max Rogers
It is with pleasure that I have been asked to provide a character reference for Mr. Max Rogers whom I have known as a family friend, for a period of 5 years.
As a student, Max is hard-working and highly committed to his education, with a curious and questioning mindset . He is a loyal, honest, considerate, and supportive individual who has the ability to see and understand things from another person's perspective.
He is a great communicator and knows how to raise and discuss issues and problems in positive, constructive manner. He is a sensitive and kind individual and is always tuned into how another person might "feel" in a given situation, making him an ideal candidate in terms of tutoring. He has an absolute passion for his subject.
During his studies, Max has been hard working and proactive to earn extra money, working outside of the normal 9-5, whilst always fulfilling deadlines for University.
I know that Max would be a great asset to any workplace that chooses to employ him. He is a fine, well-balanced person with an abundance of positive qualities.

Sincerely,
Shujana AhmedMax is an excellent tutor who is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the subject. Max is patient, conscientious and he understands that students learn in a multitude of ways. I would highly recommend Max as a tutor.
Max taught my son Rob who was struggling with chemistry. Max explained everything clearly and made sure it was understood each topic before moving on. Max was patient, encouraging. Rob left the lesson feeling much more confident.
Max is an intelligent young man with a very high level of proficiency in chemistry, maths and physicis. He is very approachable with a great sense of humour. He ran a maths and science revision club when he was a sixth former at school and he has a lot of patience when helping students grasp new topics. He is reliable, conscientious and fun which is a great combination for a tutor. I highly recommend him.
Max is hard work and always dedicated on the work he does. He is very positive and have creative ideas solving problems.
Max is intelligent and an excellent communicator. His skills as a chemistry tutor offer a very high level of knowledge and help in a very personable way.
As a fellow tutor, I have worked alongside max many times and often come to him for tutoring advice. He is a real master of his craft who takes great pride in his teaching which from my experience, comes across in every lesson. I couldn’t recommend Max highly enough to anyone who wants to see their grades skyrocket.
