About Mark
I am an experienced and highly qualified tutor offering private tuition in mainly A-level Chemistry and GCSE Chemistry. I hold a First Class Honours degree in Chemistry and a PhD in Chemistry from Manchester University and I am a Member of the Royal Society of Chemistry and a Chartered Chemist. I have more than twenty years' experience of teaching chemistry and forensic science, from GCSE up to PhD level, at universities in the UK and Canada, and I have also worked in the chemical industry. I am now self-employed as a private tutor, having been offering private tuition for the last eight years. During that time my students have achieved excellent results, often with significant grade improvements, and many of my first year A-level students have returned for tuition during their second year. Many of my A-level chemistry students have gone on to study at prestigious universities, such as Liverpool University Medical School and Nottingham University School of Veterinary Medicine, and this year a record number of my students achieved A or A* grade in A-level chemistry. I am an approachable, patient and enthusiastic tutor, and I aim to build confidence, stimulate interest and enhance knowledge through a relaxed, informal and flexible approach to tutoring. I employ a range of approaches to address different learning styles, including different ways of explaining theoretical concepts and a range of problem-solving strategies. I make use of a wide range of resources, including bullet-point revision notes, multiple choice quizzes, video clips and exam-style questions on each topic, to consolidate understanding and improve exam technique, including recognition of key words and phrases in exam questions. I am available to take on new students from Mondays to Thursdays, either daytime or early evening and usually online, though I am happy to travel up to 10 miles to the students' home. Most tuition takes place on a regular weekly basis in one-hour sessions, but longer lessons can be arranged, and these are particularly popular at exam-revision time. I also am happy to see students on an occasional basis to cover specific requirements. I have a current and up-to-date DBS certificate and I am happy to provide contact details of former students/parents who have agreed to provide references.

Mark has been tutoring my son in Chemistry (A level) for the last 12 months. He is always extremely pleasant, polite and courteous, reliable, well prepared and organised. Mark is very good at explaining complex concepts in an easy to understand way which has helped my son become much more confident in the subject. He is very accommodating and will always help in any way he can. It is a pleasure to have Mark as a tutor and I cannot recommend him highly enough.
Mark tutored our eldest daughter in Chemistry once a week for approximately four months leading up to her A levels which she took in the summer of 2015. Her Chemistry mock result at school had been a disappointingly low C and she needed a B to gain a place at her first choice of university in London to study Pharmacology. She felt that Chemistry was the most difficult of her A level subjects and she particularly struggled with aspects of Organic Chemistry but Mark taught her various methods until they found one that best suited her. Her A level result was a jump up to a high B.
Our second child missed a lot of school due to some serious health issues during her GCSE year (2016) Her Science grades for her mocks suffered as a consequence, so we approached Mark once again for tuition in double award GCSE Science. My daughter was getting good grades for her course work and homework, but Ds and Es very time she did a test or exam.
Mark is a calm, warm and friendly person who explains things clearly and in detail. If one method does not appear to be working, then he will always try another way. Both of our daughters looked forward to his sessions as they both felt they were gaining knowledge and practising essential exam technique not really taught in school.We would all recommend Mark highly as an excellent tutor, whose services we will indeed call on again if our son needs help for A level Sciences which he plans to take next academic year!See more recommendations
