Maxime

Hi! If you don't like chemistry (especially organic!) or you think you will never understand it, it's because you haven't met me yet! :)

I'm Maxime, I'm a native French and super friendly young guy, fluent in english, and I'm a Doctor in chemistry after I did a Ph.D at the University of Nottingham. I now work as a development chemist, making new medication for our future! Naturally, chemistry is my thing, particularly organic chemistry! I have a lot of experience in private tutoring in chemistry (speaking in french and english, but not both at the same time, that's weird!) and I've also been a demonstrator in teaching laboratories in the school of chemistry of the University of Nottingham. So I really like to teach and you will notice it very quickly!

I am fully confident with online lessons, with the pandemic we all had to adapt, right? So my online lessons will still make you an awesome chemist!

For university, all you need is my 4 golden rules in organic chemistry, and you'll be set for good, you'll see! One of my university students started with 20% in second year, finished her second year retake at 50% and scored 80% the following year!! Do you want that too? ;)
You will see how passionate I am about chemistry, I will become very enthusiastic during the lessons! :)

Tutoring Experience

Private tutoring in chemistry for over 10 years, and still enjoying every single lesson!
Helped students with any type of A-level (AQA, OCR, Edexcel,... you name it!), and helping at University level up to Master's degree.
Demonstrator in teaching laboratories in the school of Chemistry of The University of Nottingham (2015-2018 academic years)
Direct supervisor of a master's student during the 2015-2016 academic year

And of course you can check out my reviews! :)
I'm really proud of having helped so many people and all my students are very dear to me! :)
I will make you reach the University of your dreams, and if you are already there, I will make you smash the chemistry part!

Tutoring Approach

Listening to my student's needs is key. I like to prepare myself properly so I will ask all the lessons and exercises to be sent to me in advance so I can start to work on it and make it worth it for you! I already have a lot of books and of course significant experience helping students achieve their dreams!

Over the years I became more and more able to find the appropriate words and different tips to help people to understand. Basically, I will adapt, and this is something I will say on the first lesson: you are the boss! Tell me what you can't understand and we will find a way to solve that problem together! And I'm actually the best at finding silly and funny mnemonic ways to remember something, I found it helps my students a lot to remember difficult aspects of this science. They worked, they still do, and they will work with you!

I will write a lot during the lesson, and everything I write will be scanned and sent to you straight after we are done. So it's nice and convenient for you to follow what I say.

If you really don't understand anything about organic chemistry, contact me! Don't miss out!!
