Personal Description:

Hi! My name is Ed . I have a bachelors in Chemistry, a masters in nanotechnology and a research masters in Physics. I have been a freelance tutor for over 5 years, specialising in Chemistry, Physics, Maths and Biology. I find tutoring to be an incredibly rewarding profession, especially when my students reach the goals they have been working towards.
Tutoring Experience:
Over the last 5 years I have taught a wide age range of students Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Maths. From volunteering to teach nanotechnology to primary school students in disadvantaged areas in Dublin, to helping university graduate students achieve their goal of entering Medical school (GAMSAT) in Ireland. The majority of my experience lies within the Irish education system (both primary and secondary level), which tracks very closely to the NCEA system. I also have experience teaching the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum as well as University level chemistry, biology and physics.
Tutoring Approach:
I believe that a core understanding of the learning materials is key to exam success and long-lasting knowledge of a subject. Memorization works temporarily but doesn’t lead to mastery of a subject. l enjoy using real world examples to explain difficult topics in order to keep lessons light, energetic and fun while doing mock tests along the way. I will start with the basis of the problem and work towards the more difficult material, doing exam papers along the way. I can tutor one-on-one or in groups.

EdwardFrom Laura (5/5): Ed has explained the content of Level 2 Chemistry and Level 3 Biology to my Year 12 daughter in a way that makes her feel like she's understanding it (completely) for the first time. Thank you so much, Ed.
From Charlotte (/5):
From Sam (/5): Excellent all round service.
From Angelina (/5): Edward is always patient and explains things in a way that is easy to understand. Highly recommend!
From Shilei (/5): Ed is a patient, and encouraging tutor. He's helped me with Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Calculus. All of which he has a great understanding of, and has been able to explain things clearly and in depth.
