About

I am a dedicated and adaptable Chemistry teacher with experience teaching across KS3, KS4, KS5 and A-Level in a range of UK colleges and secondary schools. I hold a PGCE with QTS from the University of Manchester and have a strong scientific background, including an MSc in Chemistry with hands-on research experience in biochemistry and enzyme engineering. I have taught GCSE and A-level Chemistry, general secondary science, and worked closely with mentors during multiple school and college placements. My teaching approach focuses on making science engaging and accessible through practical activities, clear explanations and fostering curiosity in learners. I am passionate about helping students achieve their potential and am now seeking roles where I can continue developing as a Chemistry educator and contribute positively to a school or college community.
