About Kevin
What kind of experience do you have? I started tutoring at Edinburgh University as part of my PhD. I then began helping some A-Level students around 2006, which I did part-time as I was working in research at the time. Since 2014, I've been tutoring A-level chemistry full-time. I more or less only do A-level chemistry now covering AQA, Edexcel, OCR A and B. Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate? Yes. Tell me about some of your current students. I have a good mix of students of various abilities and personalities. Some are looking to do medicine and require an A , while others have different goals and are looking to improve their skills and grades. I also get quite a few resit students each year.

Hi! My name is Kevin, I've been a full-time A-level Chemistry tutor since 2014. I have a 1st class honours and PhD in Chemistry and also did a Masters in biochemistry . My aim is to improve your grades, confidence and enjoyment of the subject. I help with understanding firstly but also study and exam skills, which are vital for A-level - understanding alone is not enough. Which subject(s) do you teach? Chemistry: A-Level is most of my work. Some University depending on the requirements. Tell me about your qualifications. PhD Organic Chemistry, Edinburgh University, 1st Class Honours Degree Chemistry, Edinburgh University and Master, Biochemistry, Imperial College - How much do you charge? £50 per hour. Where do you teach? Almost all online these days. I can do face-to-face sessions but it has to be local. When are you available? I am available weekdays and nights plus weekends. It is best to contact for exact days and times etc. as it gets busy quicker each year and I'm usually full up by January. Which qualifications do you prepare your students for? AQA, Edexcel, OCR A and B - Describe your arrangements for online tutoring. I use Zoom. - Do you have a personal message for students? You can improve your grades with a little help and guidance. If you are well prepared then the exam will be no problem. A good tutor can help you do this. Once a week or once a fortnight is enough. If you come to the sessions keen to learn and buy into the methods and above all, work hard, then you will get a lot from it - it's vital that you put in the effort in between sessions and recap on what we did. We will work on your Chemistry to give you a good understanding making it as simple as possible. I will also help you with your study methods and exam technique, which is incredibly important. This starts with what you think about exams and your own self-belief/confidence plus different ideas and methods to ensure that you study/revise efficiently and effectively. The overall aim is to improve your exam results.

My child was on the brink of giving up in this subject and Kevin heaved him up! My son enjoyed the sessions, felt they were worthwhile and was able to lift his spirits at having been taught by someone who knew the subject, was sympathetic and able to hone is on what really needed to be focused on. Even after the A level exam, Kevin was there to give advice. Thank you, Kevin!
Kevin has been a great help to my daughter, and has helped boost her confidence in chemistry. She is much more focused, and has taken his advice on how to prepare for her exam. Kevin has surpassed our expectations for a tutor and I would highly recommend him.
Kevin really helped our son to pass chemistry. He was patient and managed to build a good rapport with him and this helped him to be confident. I will recommend Kevin any day.
Kevin is an excellent tutor. He is patient, knowledgeable and has an amazing ability to pitch his teaching at just the right level. He instills confidence in his pupil and has a passion for the subject that is infectious. He is very reliable and I would highly recommend him.
I've been receiving tutoring from Kevin online, and I can confidently say that he is an incredible tutor! He methodically breaks down the parts of the topic and picks up pieces that are missed in the classroom and solidifies the knowledge with his exam technique tips. Not only have I seen a jump in mock paper grades, but a confidence boost too. Would recommend Kevin to anyone in need of a Chemistry tutor.
Thought you would like to know that the tuition paid off!! He managed to get an A grade overall and achieved 100 per cent in his last GCSE paper!!! Thanks you so much for all you did to help him.
I just wanted to thank you for all your help over the past few months. Out of the three chemistry exams I took, I got two As and a B. I honestly couldn't be happier! Thank you for the tutoring and useful exam tips. I honestly don't think I could have done it without your help
I got the B in chemistry that I needed. Very happy as I got into my first choice Uni! Thank you for all the help you gave, it made a huge difference!
We found Kevin friendly, approachable and extremely helpful as a tutor for our daughter. In just a few lessons he managed to sort out some misunderstandings she had had for five years despite repeated attempts to by teachers at school. Kevin's strength is his ability to explain chemistry in a highly accessible and down-to-earth manner– the best kind of tuition in my view, and I am a teacher myself. I highly recommend Kevin.
Kevin has a nice easy manner that immediately made my son feel at ease. His approach as to what he needed was good, mainly exam technique and how to look for exactly what the examiner would want. Will be giving you a call for A2 next year!! Thx
