Chemistry, Sciences, Oxbridge Applications
A Cambridge Natural Sciences graduate who taught Chemistry at St Paul’s School and Charterhouse, Barnaby explains difficult concepts clearly and prepares the most able students for Oxbridge.
Barnaby read Natural Sciences at the University of Cambridge. At Gresham’s School he achieved As in Maths, Further Maths, Chemistry, Physics and Biology at A-level.
Barnaby has six years’ experience teaching Chemistry at leading schools: at Charterhouse, teaching IGCSE and Pre-U, and at St Paul’s School, teaching IGCSE and A-level. He ran revision sessions that helped struggling students gain confidence, delivered mock interviews and university afternoons for Russell Group applicants, and taught a term-long advanced course preparing the most able pupils to apply for Chemistry at Oxford and Cambridge. As an academic mentor he monitored pupils’ progress and worked with their teachers on plans to improve. He has also given A-level revision lectures, including a lighter one on the chemistry of Breaking Bad.
Barnaby explains concepts in a clear, direct and engaging way, building on what students already know through questions and worked examples. He is happy helping younger students with the basics right up to supporting A-level students applying to read chemistry at university. All notes and resources are shared in a synced online folder so students can review their work at any time.
