Meet Your Tutor, Dr Carl Thirsk
As a PhD chemist, published author, and full-time educator, I have dedicated over 14,000 hours to one-to-one tuition, helping students achieve exceptional results.
My structured, evidence-based approach consistently helps 94% of my A-Level and IB students secure the top A/A* or 6/7 grades.
My background as a former R&D CEO and my work as an examiner gives me a unique perspective, allowing me to build not just knowledge, but the real-world problem-solving skills students need to excel.
A-Level Chemistry Tuition
Is A-Level Chemistry jeopardising their university offer?
For high-achievers, chemistry is often the make-or-break subject. I specialise in turning the ‘maximum effort, minimal results’ paradox into the A/A* grades required for competitive courses like Medicine, Dentistry, and Engineering
IB Diploma Chemistry Tuition
When the pressure of IB crushes both grades and wellbeing.
The immense pressure of the IB Diploma can take a serious toll. I provide the expert strategy to navigate unpredictable exams and the complex IA, transforming overwhelming stress into the high-scoring results your child’s hard work deserves
GCSE & IGCSE Chemistry Tuition
Feeling lost in a mountain of content?
It’s frustrating when hours of work don’t lead to better mock results.
I transform confusion into clarity and confidence, building a rock-solid foundation that makes top grades achievable and future A-Levels / IB Diploma far less daunting.
