Chris Perkins

I would certainly recommend Chris to other A-Level students. I find it helpful being able to go over content and fill any gaps in my knowledge. Chris is extremely patient and is always happy to explain things a second time around. Visualising concepts on the whiteboard is very useful. Chris also provides all his students with access to a Dropbox folder which contains PowerPoints and condensed revision notes for each topic. There is also a wealth of past papers (including annotated versions with ‘model answers’). This is an absolutely exceptional resource for improving exam technique and I would wholeheartedly recommend!

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.

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.

Highly recommended to GCSE or A Level students. Mr Perkins really covers your specification comprehensively using flashcards and an online resource hub. In our sessions, we revise topics, break down exam questions together and really try to understand concepts.

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 is an amazing teacher, I can see a huge difference in understanding with any topics he has helped me through compared with topics I’ve done in school. He has so many really useful resources and goes above and beyond with offering ideas to make independent studying easier. He has helped me incredibly with my ALevel Chemistry and I would recommend him to anyone who feels like they need some support.

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!

Chris is an amazing tutor. He has helped my understanding of Chemistry massively. Very friendly environment for learning.

Chris is a fantastic tutor. My son has a lot more confidence now and has moved up a grade in the short time he has being seeing Chris. He fully understands that students sometimes get blocks in their learning and works through the solutions with them. I wish he did Biology as well. Recommend to anyone who needs help or just would like to improve their grade.

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!

Friendly and approachable. Amazing resources and has been very helpful. Can recommend.

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.

Chris is absolutely brilliant at explaining things and has been so helpful! Would recommend to anybody!

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.  

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.

Chris was very good and clear as to how he could help my son improve his grade at AS level

Chris has been a great tutor for our daughter. He is very knowledgeable and has really helped with her classwork and exam technique. He is thorough and efficient and always on time.

I achieved an A in my a level chemistry and Chris’ sessions were a huge help towards this.

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.

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 🙂

We have been very impressed by Chris. He is incredibly organised, explains things thoroughly, is punctual and makes my sons lessons enjoyable. I would highly recommend him as a Chemistry tutor.

Very helpful. Chris goes through each topic until you understand. He has very useful resources that will definitely help you to get good grades.

Chris tutored one of my daughters for Chemistry GCSE and the other for Chemistry A-level. Both of them found his style of teaching enjoyable and easy to understand. They both increased in confidence and enjoyment of the subject and felt very well prepared for their exams. I am convinced that both achieved higher grades in Chemistry than they otherwise would have done.

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.

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.

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.

Chris has tutored my son for five months. In this time my son has had his predicted A Level Chemistry grade increased from D to an A. Chris is highly recommended.

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.

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.

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.
