What People Are Saying
Margaret Mary has been with us for about 7 years. During this time she has taken a number of Chemistry courses for us during the school holidays and her student feedback has been very good. Students describe her as being friendly, informative and having good subject knowledge. I have no hesitation in recommending Margaret Mary as a tutor.
Ian – Tutor Recruitment Manager
My son (in final year studying for A’Levels) needed some extra support and help understanding some of the concepts in Chemistry, and then practicing the areas he is less strong in. We found Margaret-Mary’s details in our local shop and have not looked back! She fully engages him and has helped enormously by filling in the critical gaps. He clearly enjoys the 1hr. 30 minute sessions once a week, is more confident, and his Chemistry teachers have told us that they noticed a marked difference in class from the moment he started the extra classes. We, including my son, have no hesitation in recommending Margaret-Mary wholeheartedly.

Dyslexia is very individual to each person. Margaret Mary tailor made an approach to me. She recognised and acknowledged my difficulties, she identified and interpreted patterns (many of which I hadn’t noticed) that were hindering me, then developed effective strategies which I still employ today in my working life. I can wholeheartedly recommend Margaret Mary as a tutor – she has a wealth of knowledge and understanding and is generous in sharing these.
Louise – Student and Teacher
Before tutoring I was struggling with chemistry and my grades were much lower than I needed for university, which reduced my confidence and made it harder for me to engage in my Sixth Form lessons. Not only did tutoring boost my confidence and knowledge through Margaret Mary’s calm and reassuring attitude but it meant I was putting my effort into my outside revision and classroom work. As I was getting more and more questions right in tutoring after Margaret Mary had explained principles and given me step by step guides I was able to answer similar questions on my own, building back my confidence.
I would recommend Margaret Mary as an amazing chemistry tutor because once she believes you’ve understood a concept she’ll take a step back and allow you to attempt the questions on your own and whenever you struggle she’ll always give you clues to put you back on the right track instead of saying the answer straight away.

Thank you for being an excellent tutor during
less-than-excellent times. And teaching us everything we need.
We are grateful to have been your students.

Small Group Tutorial Students
Feedback that was given regularly which enabled me to understand how to support my daughter. For example, reminding her to use key words.
My daughter was able to gain more confidence and improved to a Level 7 for her mocks.
Margaret Mary is approachable and understanding. She helped my daughter gain confidence, of which was lacking after she had been told at parents evening, that maybe she should consider another A Level other than Chemistry! Margaret Mary explained topics and exam questions clearly and helped my daughter understand what she was missing in her answers to get top marks.
