Experienced examiner
Why this matters
Most tutors focus on content. As an experienced examiner, I also teach the marks — the exact words, structures and command-term responses that move a paper from a 6 to a 9, or a B to an A*.
What lessons look like
A weekly rhythm, built around you.
02 / Lessons
One-to-one, weekly, online
Shared whiteboard, worked examples, live problem-solving and exam-style questions. Notes can be saved after each session.
03 / Outcomes
Exam technique that travels
Command-word drills, mark-scheme decoding, and the language examiners actually award marks for.
What families say
In their own words.
Joe has been an exemplary tutor. He has really helped our son with GCSE Chemistry. He is punctual and professional. Our son has really enjoyed the lessons. We would highly recommend Joe.
Joe is a fantastic tutor who clearly knows what he is talking about, both in chemistry and of what the examiners want to see so you can get the top marks. He's given me many helpful memorisation tips and always supports me when wrapping my head around a difficult concept. Well worth it!
Joe is a fantastic chemistry teacher. He is patient and smart. He always gives thorough, clear explanations. He provides diagrams to help students understand better. He was well-versed in the types of questions and key concepts covered in the A-Level exams. We are so grateful for the help from Joe.
Joe has been a great tutor and has really helped me improve my understanding of chemistry. He explains difficult topics in a clear and simple way, making them much easier to understand. His lessons are always well structured and he gives helpful advice on both revision and exam technique. He's patient, supportive, and always willing to go over anything I'm unsure about, even if it means explaining it several times. Thanks to his help, I've become much more confident in chemistry and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for help with chemistry.

FAQ
Common questions, answered directly.
Are you a current examiner?
Yes I am an experienced examiner for AQA GCSE and OCR A-Level Chemistry. I see what students get right and wrong at scale, every year. That feedback loop is the difference.
Which exam boards do you teach?
I have experience teaching across a range of exam boards, including AQA, OCR, Edexcel and CIE.
What are your rates?
From £60/hr for GCSE Chemistry and from £70/hr for A-Level Chemistry. Get in touch to discuss packages and availability.
How many students do you take on?
I keep my student numbers deliberately small to ensure every student receives focused, high-quality tuition. Spaces are limited so please enquire early to secure your slot.
Do you offer a free chat?
Most parents just message me and we get going. If you'd prefer a quick chat first to make sure we're a good fit, I'm always happy to — there's no obligation either way. Get in touch via the contact page.
