A Tutor for success
My name is Alexander Fleet, and I have been a Chemistry Tutor for eight years. I set up this business because I believe a more personalised approach is needed to get the very best out of students, and I have worked tirelessly to refine this approach to a point where my students reach the very best grades.
​
This is my passion.
My Experience:
​
I have been tutoring for just over eight years. Each year has been extremely rewarding and I have taught students through AQA, OCR and Edexcel courses, with success across the board. I offer multiple plans for tutoring, such as: intensive schemes, summer prep for the transition from GCSE to AS, regular weekly sessions, home school weekday sessions and intensive revision courses closer to exams.
During my years of experience, I have worked with students from a variety of subject backgrounds. I am also experienced in providing a tailored programme to ensure that those subjects that might be undermining the learning, like maths, are taken care of. This helps to foster confidence in students that may otherwise be held back by other subject knowledge.
My range of teaching experience extends beyond tutoring, and includes things such as placements teaching revision groups in school to full lessons in science. A past job included going out to schools and running lab sessions so the students could get their hands on some equipment which they wouldn't be able to have access to in school such as a mobile infrared spectrometer and DNA forensic analysis.
​
My Approach:
​
I would consider my approach quite a unique one; commit the smallest amount to memory, build a toolbox of rules and fundamental knowledge, understand and link the material and be ready for anything an examiner could throw at you.
Science is a multidisciplinary field, and can be approached a number of ways. I am in the strong belief of making use of the resources given to me such as linking the other subjects the tutee is studying. This gives access to higher level understanding and the ability to score the higher marks in exams.
