Chris Perkins is a highly qualified Teacher and Tutor.
Chris has taught A-Level chemistry since 1995.
There is a specially designed classroom for chemistry tuition where he uses a projector, Dropbox resources and the internet to clearly explain important ideas.
Scanned, handwritten answers to past exam papers are made available using Dropbox and hence materials are easily shared. Furthermore, Chris knows where students are likely to struggle and can often fix problems quickly.
Chris is an excellent chemistry tutor! He has helped me immensely with my understanding and knowledge of the subject as an A Level, not only by the extremely useful tutoring sessions in which he answers any questions I have and is able to explain everything to me, but also with the many resources and notes I am given through Dropbox to assist me in furthering my understanding. He was recommended to me and I would recommend his Chemistry tutoring to anyone who has any doubts about Chemistry, he can definitely help you!

Both Oliver and Josh have found your lessons extremely helpful and enjoyable. Oliver said that he chemistry exams were much easier as a result of your help than they would otherwise have been. Thank you so very much.

Chris has been an absolutely brilliant tutor for me throughout my A levels and I could not recommend him highly enough. He explains everything thoroughly and is always able to fix any problems and help me to understand what I couldn’t before.
Ione Baskott... Year 13 student Feb '20
Chris is an excellent tutor, he has really helped me improve my understanding as well as exam technique. I would highly recommend him! I have noticed an increase in confidence with Alevel Chemistry and definitely feel that the extra help has been extremely useful.
Freya Norster... Year 13 student Jan '20
We are so glad that we found Chris to teach our son. Chris is an excellent teacher. He is patient, knowledgeable and knows how to explain the topics very well. My son really enjoys his lessons. He is also very professional, well organised and responsive. We highly recommend Chris to anyone who wants to improve their understanding of Chemistry.

I achieved an A in my a level chemistry and Chris’ sessions were a huge help towards this.
Izzy Heir... Year 13 student Sep '18
Chris has been great with my son so far. He has taken into account what his needs are and is working towards his goals at a good pace. His set up is fantastic and my son felt at ease immediately with him. Mock exams in May will be a good indicator of progress.
Sally Saphir.. parent of Year 12 student March '20
My daughter was struggling with her A Level chemistry and needed some help. She was trailing behind with an E grade, but we were really lucky to find Chris. When I used to collect Molly everything was so calm, relaxed and happy. Molly said everything clicked when she had that extra bit of tuition and that she understood the mechanics of chemistry instead of learning it parrot fashion. She has just got a A grade in her AS, so proof that Chris is a great tutor and I would highly recommend.
Max... parent of Year 12 student Aug '17
Chris is absolutely fantastic. He explains everything in a clear manner and he has improved my chemistry knowledge dramatically in a short period of time. Along with his excellent teaching skills, he has an impressive amount of resources which make revising much easier. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.
Patrick Smyth... Year 13 student Feb '20
My daughter was panicking about her Chemistry A level. Chris helped her to calm down, think and study constructively and she was able to get the grade she needed to get to her first choice university. I’d recommend Chris without reservation.
William Shimell... parent of Year 13 student Aug '17
Very helpful. Chris goes through each topic until you understand. He has very useful resources that will definitely help you to get good grades.
Anwar... Year 13 student Aug '17
Chris has helped massively with understanding in all areas of chemistry, but also revision techniques and the transition from GCSE to A-level as a whole. Very friendly, would recommend 🙂
Kofi Bruce... Year 13 student Jan '20
Absolutely amazing… probably one of the best teachers I’ve had for any subject, let alone chemistry!! He’s more than happy to repeat things twice (or five times in my case) until I’ve memorised it. If you have a big class in school or missed a few lessons, the 1-to-1 or small group sessions are really beneficial. Not only can you learn at your own pace, but you can focus on chapters of the syllabus that individually you might have flawed knowledge of. On a less serious note, Chris is really kind and makes chemistry (almost) fun – he’s definitely saved me a good few nervous breakdowns! 1000 / 10 would recommend.
Tara Hart... Year 13 student Sep'18
My son has been working with Chris on a weekly basis now for two months. He finds Chris to be really good, very thorough and in his own words, he doesn’t know how it could be better!
Kay… parent of Year 12 student July '17
Absolutely excellent chemistry tutor! Would definitely recommend for AS and A2 chemistry tutoring! He helped me to understand concepts and improve exam technique. Thanks to Chris I managed to get an A in A2 chemistry!
Ruvimbo Mukono... Year 13 student Sep '18
Chris has combined modern teaching techniques alongside traditional teaching styles to create an optimum learning environment. Chris has impacted my grades in a very positive way in the form of improving my chemistry grade by a solid two grades. I could not recommend Chris enough.
Ethan Carlisle... Year 11 student Jan '20
Excellent tutor, very thorough with a great tempo to the lessons! Helping massively with chemistry A-level. I’ve been able to see huge progress from the first lesson and he continually helps me to improve my understanding of the various A-level topics! Very welcoming which makes you feel comfortable in his sessions!
Louie Cherrington... Year 13 student Sep '18
Chris provides brilliant lessons with in-depth explanations and exam past paper questions on all topics. Quizlet flash cards are also great for learning key definitions. I would highly recommend his lessons to all A-Level students aiming for top grades.
Tariq Rudge... Year 13 student Dec '19
Mr Perkins is an excellent tutor. He covers the specification very well, helps with exam technique and supplies many really helpful resources for independent revision.
Esther David-West... Year 13 student Jan '20
I had Chris as a chemistry tutor for a couple of months prior to my final A-level exams. In that short space of time my understanding of chemistry grew exponentially. His 1-1 teaching style, clear explanations and patience allowed me to grasp the most complex theories and apply them in my exams. I decided what I wanted to learn that day and would come away feeling confident on the subject and it greatly helped that sessions were flexible. I can’t thank him enough for the help he provided with my studies. I have recommended him to all my friends and cannot rate him highly enough.
Lewis Wosnitzka... Year 13 student Sep '18
Chris is absolutely brilliant at explaining things and has been so helpful! Would recommend to anybody!
Hannah Biscombe... Year 13 student Jan '20
Since my lessons with Chris, my in class topic tests have improved by two grades. So much so, my predicted grade has gone from a 6 to an 8! Additionally, the resources provided allow me to revise effectively outside of Chris’s tuition.
Noah Carlisle... Year 10 student Jan '20
Chris has been a brilliant tutor so far and has helped me to fill the gaps in my knowledge and understand of topics that I didn’t get previously. Already, I have seen an improvement in my chemistry due to Chris’s great teaching methods and useful revision resources.
Lauren Ritchie... Year 11 student Feb '20
A very knowledgeable and experienced teacher, who has the ability to adapt teaching styles to the needs and quirks of each individual he teaches. He has accepted and worked with my daughters extreme anxiety to not only build up her chemistry knowledge, but also her confidence to show it. Anyone looking to enhance their child’s learning, skills and exam grades in Chemistry, will find no better teacher.
Graeme Harris... parent of Year 10 student Feb '20
Chris clearly has a lot of experience both in the subject area and in tutoring. He has a range of interactive training aids, which have really helped my daughter understand Chemistry. She has found Chris to be extremely helpful.
Sally… parent of Year 12 student July '17
Friendly and approachable. Amazing resources and has been very helpful. Can recommend.
Megan… Year 12 Chemistry student
Fantastic teaching that’s specific to which ever exam board you have to study with. Chris is great at explaining new topics and I was delighted with my A level result with his help.
