About Penelope
I am very enthusiastic about teaching - it is a strong passion of mine. I have a lot of experience in teaching both in schools and outside of schools privately. My ethos surrounding students is that they are all capable of more than they think - and I am certain I can show my students this. Many of my students so far have achieved either higher than their predicted grades and I am so proud of them. I wish to help more students achieve their academic dreams and build their confidence in Chemistry. I am a strong believer that good lessons and academic outcomes are built on mutual respect, working smart, tailoring to the individual, and encouragement.

I ensure that my lessons are driven, informative and hit all necessary syllabus points. I am very aware of what exam boards need to hear from students, and I can tailor my lessons to balance content learning with exam technique learning. Typically lessons last between 45 minutes to 1 hour. Over multiple lessons it is easier to plan for a long term goal, especially with some trickier chemistry units. Also happy to just do any short term catch up or refresher lessons. I have been tutoring privately abroad, mostly in maths and science, but my speciality is chemistry. I have also worked as a Chemistry teacher in a high performing grammar school for 3 years. My lessons are for students of any capability, and will ensure you are going into your lessons or exams with a significantly higher level of confidence than before. I can teach A-level Chemistry (organic and inorganic) and GCSE Chemistry of any specification.

I was lucky enough to be Penelope's colleague at the grammar school in London where she was teaching chemistry to KS3, GCSE and A-level students. Penelope has an incredible and passionate subject knowledge and is able to clearly explain difficult concepts to any age and any level of existing knowledge. She is highly organised and efficient and always produced high results from her classes, who all had a great deal of respect for her. I can't recommend her highly enough as a chemistry tutor!
From observing Penelope's lessons as a member of school staff, I can confidently say that her students were engaged, attentive and most importantly, enthusiastic about her lessons.
Penelope is patient with students and will take time to explain concepts in a way that is easily understandable (even to someone like me with no background knowledge of chemistry!). She is kind and warm, which helped foster a passion for chemistry in many of her students. Many of the students who were taught by her at lower school went on to achieve highly at GCSE, and many of her GCSE students went on to study Chemistry at A-Level, successfully entering their universities of choice.
Another one of her key strengths is her discipline and organisation; she consistently has high expectations for her students and strives to ensure that they meet their full potential, showing dedication by using her free time during the school day to speak to students who needed extra support. Her high expectations also extended to behaviour; students in her class were well behaved and showed a real respect for her as a teacher, which led to an effective teaching and learning environment.
Penelope's standards of teaching will no doubt extend to her work as a tutor. I truly believe that students will thrive with Penelope as their chemistry tutor.View more recommendations
