Reviews from Parents and Students

“My daughter was struggling with a lot of the more complex calculations and 2^nd year content, which was holding her back from reaching her true potential and target grades. Carl’s expertise was instrumental in her success in A-Level Chemistry – he provided the precise, targeted support she needed. She’s off to study medicine at Newcastle. We couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome and the quality of the tuition.”

“I am writing to share the wonderful news that M**** achieved a Level 7 in his IB Chemistry Diploma! He hit 39 points total so was comfortably over the threshold. He has been accepted into his first choice to study Chemical Engineering at the University of Manchester. He’s over the moon and I’m sure will message you separately.

When M**** first came to you in the middle of DP1, he was predicted a Level 4 and was finding the Higher Level syllabus really challenging. He had lost a lot of confidence, particularly with the organic chemistry topics (have to admit although I did A-Level, all that now looks like a foreign language to me! 😅)

Your support was the turning point for him. You are clearly a specialist with a deep knowledge of the IB specification, and your ability to explain complex concepts with clarity and patience was exactly what he needed.

We are so grateful for your professionalism and the structured approach you brought to his learning.”

“I honestly can’t believe I got a 7 in IB Chemistry! I was really struggling with a lot of Reactivity 3 (especially redox and pH calculations) and some of the HL bonding but Dr Carl’s lessons made everything so clear and manageable.”

The question packs he shared to help with the new spec were amazing and made such a difference as well. Thank you so much!”

“I am writing to let you know that D**** has secured his place to study Dentistry at the University of Birmingham, having achieved a solid A* in Chemistry. I particularly valued your technical precision and expertise, both of which you demonstrated in abundance. Your specialist knowledge of the exam board requirements was invaluable and helped D**** navigate the more complex second-year organic modules with confidence. You took him from a predicted B to a top-grade student, and your professional, structured approach made all the difference. L**** and I are incredibly grateful for your support.”

“Thank you so much for the incredible support you provided J**** during her A-Level Chemistry studies. When she first started tuition with you, she was predicted a C and was feeling quite overwhelmed by the step up in difficulty, particularly with the organic chemistry modules. She actually hated the subject by Christmas. We were worried she’d drop it entirely! Your approach was exactly what she needed. You are clearly a specialist with an in-depth knowledge of the specific exam board requirements, which meant every session was focused and relevant. You were reliable and incredibly patient, helping her to dismantle complex topics until she truly understood them. The change in her was visible; her technical understanding deepened and her confidence was boosted. I am thrilled to let you know that J**** achieved an A* in her final exams and has been accepted onto her first-choice course to study veterinary medicine at the University of Nottingham. This outcome seemed impossible a year ago, and it is in no small part down to your expert guidance. We would recommend you without hesitation to any parent looking to support their child’s education.”

“Our son found topics like acids and bases and redox (electrolysis) challenging and was not performing well despite putting in the work. We reached out to Dr Carl for help and were so impressed by his approach. Thanks to his focused lessons, our son exceeded our expectations and his initial mock results. We are so pleased he got the grade he needed and deserved for college.”

Martin S., parent of IGCSE Chemistry student, August 2025

“I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the work you did with Sophie regarding her GCSE Chemistry. We were absolutely delighted to see she achieved a Grade 9 in her final results – a  far cry from where she started. When we first contacted you, Sophie was hovering around a Grade 5 and found the subject, particularly the quantitative chemistry modules, to be a source of real anxiety. She had pretty much convinced herself she just ‘wasn’t a science person.’ Your impact was immediate. You are clearly a specialist with a rigorous understanding of the GCSE curriculum and the specific exam board requirements. Your ability to dismantle complex topics and your professional, structured approach gave her the framework she needed to succeed. As well as building up her technical knowledge, it was very gratifying for Helena and me to see her self-belief restored. She is now eagerly looking forward to starting her A-Levels at her first-choice sixth form, something we didn’t think possible a year ago. We would recommend you without hesitation.”

“Hey Carl,

I just got my results and I’m buzzing to tell you I achieved an A in Chemistry! I’ve been accepted into my first choice at Leeds.

Your help was invaluable, especially with the phys chem calcs. Thanks for everything and all the best!

cheers,

Tom”

I hope you’ve had a great summer! I wanted to let you know that I received my IB results and I am over the moon to tell you I got a Level 7! Overall, I got 42 points and have been accepted into my firm choice so will be off to study medicine at UCL.

I honestly don’t think I could have managed this without you. When we started in DP1, I was barely scraping a 5 and felt completely overwhelmed by the mountains of mechanisms and definitions. You were amazing at breaking down the really hard topics and making them actually make sense.

Thanks you so much for all the extra support with my IA too (teacher marked it as 22 so was very happy!). Your advice on the practicals and error calculations was a game-changer and took so much stress off my shoulders.”

“I thought I would inform you that I achieved an A in chemistry – which was what I needed to get into university. I am very close to the grade boundary so I am getting it remarked just for myself.”

Ella S., A-Level chemistry student, July 2024

“Alvin just came back from School and he got the following results.

2 A Stars – Maths and Chemistry

1 A – Biology

For Chemistry the detailed scores are:

1 – Paper 1                   – 89/100

2 – Paper 2                   – 94/100

3 – Paper 3                   – 64/70  

Alvin and I wish to thank you for the great support, tutoring you gave him. Much appreciated.”

“I thought you’d like to know that Lucinda has been accepted onto her first choice university course with AAA, at Kings College London.

Thank you so much for your support and encouragement- her confidence in Chemistry was so much improved after your sessions.”
