Why Chidimma tutors
I love tutoring because it lets me teach the way each student learns best. I can spot exactly where a student is stuck and fix it step by step.
What I enjoy most is watching a student's confidence grow. Many come to me feeling Chemistry is too hard, and seeing them start to answer exam questions on their own, then get the grade they worked for, is very rewarding.
Tutoring also keeps me learning, because every student asks questions that make me find new and clearer ways to explain things.
Chidimma Vera E., in their own wordsA student Chidimma helped
A GCSE Chemistry student came to me predicted a grade 3. They struggled with mole calculations and lost confidence every time they saw a calculation question. We worked step by step on the basics, then practised with past papers each week. By the final exam they were answering calculation questions on their own, and they achieved a grade 6, which let them take Chemistry at A-Level.
Chidimma Vera E., in their own wordsOutside tutoring
Outside tutoring, I'm very interested in green chemistry and sustainability, especially how everyday waste can be turned into useful, eco-friendly products.
I enjoy reading about new discoveries in science and finding simple experiments that make chemistry fun and easy to see in real life.
When I'm not working, I love spending time with my family, reading and exploring new places.
Specializations
- ADHD and attention difficultiesKeeps a session workable for a student who cannot hold focus through one.
I have worked with students who find it hard to stay focused for long periods. I keep lessons short and well-paced, breaking each topic into small chunks with frequent quick checks so the student stays engaged. I use visuals, colour-coded notes, diagrams and simple hands-on examples to make ideas stick, and I mix explanation with short practice tasks rather than long talks. I give clear step-by-step instructions, praise progress often, and allow short breaks when needed. This helps students stay on track, build confidence and get through exam questions calmly.
