About:

I am a certified Chemistry and Physics teacher with more than 20 years’ experience of both in person and online teaching. Over the course of this extensive career I have seen more than 300 of my students successfully placed in universities such as Oxford and Cambridge. Having served as Head of Chemistry in the two previous schools, I know what’s expected from students, no matter if they’re following the iGCSE, A Level, or IB programme. I am currently a certified IBO examiner for the IB Chemistry paper 2 and paper 3 exams as well as an Internal Assessment moderator. This means I am well placed to be able to help Diploma students prepare for their final exams or support them with their Internal Assessment or Extended Essay development.

"George has tutored my daughter in Chemistry SL for the IB year 13 for about 1 year now.

George has been incredibly helpful, kind and consistent in his tutoring. He provides access to a lot of practice questions and he goes through them step by step. He is patient and very helpful. My daughter always look forward to her session and he was really able to help her and give her the confidence she needed.

My daughter has seen her grade go up ensuring that she was accepted to the University of her choice; in the program she really wanted to get into that required a specific grade. Thank you George we appreciate you!"

"George is a great tutor, he helps me understand topics I struggle with in a simpler way. I have improved my approach to solving problems and my grades in school stabilized. I also feel more confident in dealing with exams.

Comment from Mom: Mateo went through application process for boarding schools last year, which included Chemistry tests. The tutoring helped him to be better prepared and master the exams successfully. Thank you George! "

"George is one of the best tutors my daughter has ever had. He has made science both understandable and fun. No more tears, just smiles when she gets her grades and she is at the top of her secondary classes. Does not get better. A content and grateful mom."

Teaching experience and approach:

I hold a BSc in Chemistry, a Masters in Electrical and Computing Engineering and a MSc in Techno-Economic systems with a specialisation in E-Learning and E-Schools. As such, I’ve developed expertise in asynchronous and synchronous e-learning platforms, using online tools adeptly to enhance student learning. Starting out as a Computer Science teacher, I was then certified to teach Physics and Chemistry and have enjoyed working in schools in Greece and Turkey. I have solid knowledge of the GCSE, A Level and IB programmes as well as the AP. I tutor with patience and humour and feel it's a real privilege to pass on what I know to my students.
