Tutoring Approach

Relaxed but focused on achieving great results. Hello, my name is Clive and I am passionate about learning! I believe everyone has the ability to achieve (in Chemistry, Single and Combined Sciences) and they will learn valuable skills for life. My focus includes motivation and self-esteem which not only helps you learn but helps you, your whole life. I am able to travel to your home if it is within a 30 minute (approx 20 miles) drive. If you need to pass an exam or just understand something you just can't get, I can help you.
