Unlock Your Potential in Science
Struggling with (i)GCSE or A-levels? We Make Science Easy, Understandable, and Fun!
Since you are here, you are halfway to success: an educational problem has already been identified, and you are searching for a remedy.
Let’s pinpoint your potential challenges and find ways to solve them. Why you are here?

Not so easy to find a trustworthy tutor.
Yes, it’s true! There are many tutoring offers out there, making it challenging to choose the right one. The most disappointing part is that it takes both time and money. Let’s consider what makes a proper tutor. Imagine you are searching for a doctor to treat you. Would you trust a student, even if they have top grades, to treat you? Or would you choose a doctor from a clinic known for its low quality in therapy? Can you rely on a doctor who knows medical data but has never practiced in real conditions? Similarly, is it wise to hire a student, a school teacher, or someone without real lab experience as a Science tutor? Besides, having an expert level of knowledge in the subject (at least a Master's degree), an ideal tutor should understand the drawbacks of your educational system and have broad working experience in both teaching and real scientific research. I have been successfully teaching students for many years, even though I have not worked a single minute in a traditional school setting. I possess detailed knowledge of the UK education system, hold Master's degrees in both Biology and Chemistry from leading universities, and have spent many years working in a real lab while completing my PhD thesis.

Lack of understanding and clarity in your school science.
Each person is unique, not only in traits and capabilities but also in how they perceive and analyze new information. In crowded school classes, teachers often provide explanations in a standardized way suited for the average student. In real life we use varied things: live in different houses, drive different cars, and eat different meals. Education should be similar, tailored to individual needs. Standard teaching methods may not meet your personal learning needs. The best option is to seek help from a professional tutor. I can guide you through an individualized learning path that suits your personality in the best way.

School learning might be boring and uninteresting.
The common school syllabus is usually aimed at passing exams. The teaching process often resembles sports training, where the focus is on achieving outstanding physical conditions through repetitive exercises. This approach may work well in sports or foreign language studies but not in science. Science is about understanding the world around us—how it works and what it consists of. It's not enough to provide a set of facts and laws. I teach Biology, Chemistry, and Science in general as a gripping story that relates events to each other. For example, how metals and salt solutions create electricity, which acts in our nerves, pushing us to avoid danger and helping humans survive through the evolutionary pathway as a species.

Hard to keep up with the current curriculum.
Often, it happens that you miss something in the course of your studies. You might not even notice it at first, but eventually, this can create a gap in your knowledge that hinders further learning. My task is not only to identify and fill these educational gaps—this is obvious. I strive for holistic student knowledge in science. In such a case, a student begins to use a generalized approach to any topic. This analytical method is quite simple: apply several general laws to varied situations. By doing this, any unknown issue will become just “one in a row,” allowing the student to easily and fruitfully adopt new knowledge.
-
Not sure if I will need all of it in my future job.
This is a common concern among students. Certainly, science is considered a core subject that everyone is expected to study. While rocket science might not be necessary for future office workers, understanding the world we live in is essential. To address this concern, I always strive to make science-related topics interesting by using numerous examples from everyday life. For instance, the math describing bacterial population growth is the same as that for calculating compound interest in a bank deposit. Understanding how nature works can provide insights into various aspects of your future life. Additionally, there is no such thing as useless knowledge. At the very least, it exercises your brain and enhances your analytical skills.

Lack of self-confidence for exams and university admission.
Most criteria for personal success are based on individual competitive achievements. Society constantly tells us to "be in the top ten" or "the earlier you start, the better you'll finish." Undoubtedly, keeping up with this rat race is often seen as essential for success. Failing to meet these standards can lead to frustration and disappointment. However, a unified path to success is not the only option. First and foremost, a person needs to be happy and live a fulfilling life before achieving conventional success. To attain this, you may need to follow your own path and play by your own rules. In this journey, you’ll need supportive help to identify your personal strengths and address your individual weaknesses. Following a personalized educational trajectory with a tutor allows you to leverage your traits efficiently, making your studies more effective and faster. An experienced tutor not only teaches you the subject but also teaches you how to study. This results in increased self-confidence during stressful events like exams and helps you achieve the best possible grades.
We get accustomed to the extended school curriculum, master scientific language and terminology, conduct research projects, prepare for exams, successfully finish school, and enroll in the university of your dreams.
Lessons are held online, individually or in mini-groups (up to 5 students) in Zoom/Miro environments.
The price is £40/60 min for mini-groups and £55/60 min for one-to-one lessons. The usual session is 90 minutes long.
One-off consultations for any complex issues: unclear topics, urgent preparation for a current test, difficult homework. The price for one-off lesson is £90 per 90 min.
Course training. Usually, two 90-minute sessions per week over two years are sufficient to successfully pass the (i)GCSE or A-level exams. Preparation can also be done in one academic year, but it requires more intensive study and an increased number of sessions.
