Email message from Ray to Opeyemi dated December 17, 2020, expressing gratitude for help and sharing test results.

When Jacque first contacted me, her son Ray had just opened his A-Level Chemistry results to a C grade.

Ray had applied for Medicine and needed an A to secure his university place. With re-sits approaching, he needed to improve by two grades in just a couple of months.

From our very first session, it was clear that Ray was hardworking and motivated. The problem wasn’t his understanding of Chemistry, but exam technique. He was losing marks on questions he actually understood.

Over 8 weeks of focused 1:1 tutoring twice a week, we worked on:

OCR exam technique
structuring extended-response answers
interpreting unfamiliar questions
applying mark scheme phrasing
timed past paper practice

By the end of the programme, Ray had transformed the way he approached exam questions.

He exceeded his target and achieved an A*, securing his place to study Medicine at the University of Edinburgh.

She is not only great in having a rich mastery of the subject matter, she knows how best to engage a learner through the process of knowledge transfer in a very adaptive and context-aware approach.
