About Benjamin

I am a private tutor holding a PhD and first-class undergraduate degree (MSci) in Chemistry from Imperial College London. I am currently a Lecturer in Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Reading where I teach across years 1-4 on topics including Atomic Structure, Main Group Chemistry, Bioinorganic Chemistry, and Homogenous Transition Metal Catalysis. I also teach on the Chemistry Foundation Year, which is A-Level content. Before Reading, I was a Teaching Lecturer at Lancaster University, where I taught a wide range of topics including Transition Metal Chemistry, Catalysis, Main Group Chemistry, Kinetics, Spectroscopy, and Organic Chemistry.

My PhD research focused on the design of novel MRI, optical imaging, and radiochemical probes for brain imaging. My area of expertise is in inorganic chemistry, including coordination chemistry, NMR spectroscopy, main group, transition metal, organometallic, and lanthanide and actinide chemistry. I tutor online but also in-person in the Reading area. I am fully DBS checked.

I received the award for best GCSE results (7A*, 4A), and best AS results (5A) from Plantsbrook School, and achieved A2 results of 3A* and an A - once again the best in the school. At Imperial, I was a member of the Faculty of Natural Science Dean's List (top 10% of chemistry students) for all four years of my degree. I also received the HVA Briscoe Excellence in Inorganic Chemistry Prize in my final year at Imperial College London. I am able to tutor for GCSE, A-Level (including IB), and degree-level chemistry. I have also volunteered at my local school as a teaching assistant on my gap year and have gained teaching experience.

All of the students I tutored said that I was a great help in getting them to achieve their grades. All of my students either hit or exceeded their target grade(s) for the subject(s) I tutored them for. I also completed work experience at Harris Westminster Sixth Form as part of my degree where I taught A-level chemistry lessons. I tutored throughout my degrees, helping several students secure the grades needed to head to their first-choice university.

My teaching methodology is based heavily on practising questions and past papers. I believe that the best way to learn is to apply what you know. So many times I have witnessed children that think they know a topic because they have read their notes, but it is not until they actually try to apply their knowledge that they realise that they are not 100% confident. The lesson structure varies depending on the person I am tutoring and how they best learn. This could be mainly through questions, guided worksheets, or PowerPoint presentations.
