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.
