I started lessons with Katie from the very start of Year 12 and over the course of the 2 years I went from being really nervous about Chemistry to confidently securing an A* in the summer! Our lessons were always so useful and tailored to my worries + Katie’s passion for chemistry and amazing ability to answer absolutely any question I asked meant our lessons were so engaging! I would one million percent recommend Katie to anyone needing extra support in chemistry :)

Not only is Katie a brilliant Chemistry tutor but also a fantastic mentor to my daughter. After only gaining D’s in her AS exams and needing an A for her chosen university course things were looking pretty bleak until I found Katie. In just 6 months they have completed 2 years of study and Chemistry has now gone from her most disliked to her favourite subject, where she has sat 4 exams and 2 pracs with the utmost of confidence and knowledge. This would never have been possible without Katie who has a unique ability to make a hard subject enjoyable. Thank you so much. You are one in a million!

Katie really increased my confidence in my capabilities in Chemistry A-level. I grew to enjoy the subject as a whole. Her depth in understanding of Chemistry meant that she was able to support me in any areas that I needed help and she also challenged me so that I could aim for the higher grades. Katie also took time out of the sessions to create useful revision tools that supported me during exam season. Would definitely recommend Katie as a Chemistry tutor.

Katie Rees is the best teacher I have ever had, she taught me chemistry A level during the 2023 exam season, where all the exams were ‘harder’ than before the COVID-19 pandemic. Katie also helped me to study for my AS level resits, from organic chemistry to writing tips for the long answer questions she knew it all, beyond this her kind and gentle demeanour makes you feel comfortable around her as a person not only as a chemistry tutor. The most important thing about Katie Rees that I remember about her is her belief in my abilities is what really impacted me, it is my honest belief that without Katie I would not have gotten into my Pharmacy degree at Reading University, I achieved an A in chemistry A level because of Katie Rees.

Katie is the best tutor I could’ve asked for. She completely changed the way I feel about chemistry; in just a handful of lessons it went from being something I dreaded to my favourite subject. In 6 months of lessons I’ve gone up at least 3 grades. Katie explains everything in detail and is willing to explain something over and over in different ways until you understand, though her explanations are so good that I usually understand the first time. She has worked on exam technique with me, highlighting all the specification specific tips to ensure I get all the marks for a question. She has also given me tips on how to make revision resources so I can revise effectively from them. I cannot thank Katie enough as now I have a good chance of getting into my top choice university to follow my dreams of becoming a vet.

Katie is an amazing tutor. She has helped me so much and pushed me to practice challenging content but also ensure I understand the foundations too. I couldn't recommend her enough.
Ellie G
thank you so much for all your help in chemistry. It has become my favourite topic and something that I want to learn about just for the fun of it. I honestly don't think I would have managed to get from E/Ds to A/A*s without your help and support!

Katie is the best chemistry teacher I've ever had! She has a way of explaining difficult concepts that helps you to understand material you thought you would never grasp. I couldn't have done a level chemistry without her.

Katie has been helping my daughter (Y13) with chemistry, for a couple of months now, one hour a week and I can honestly say that those sessions have boosted not only knowledge but also my daughter's confidence. My daughter likes the way Katie teaches and also, likes her as a person which always makes learning easier and more enjoyable.

Katie has provided excellent Chemistry A'level lessons for my son, who's education was sadly heavily disrupted by Covid. He developed a good rapport with her very quickly and would comment that she could explain something to him in 5 mins that he just couldn't understand in his school lessons. Due to work commitments we thought he may have to change tutor but he was adamant he preferred to have a late evening lesson than change tutor. Thank you so much Katie- you are a star.

Katie is incredibly helpful in a kind, professional manner. During our lessons I feel able to ask any question and Katie always finds a way to explain the answer in a way I will remember and fully understand. I feel completely at ease and able to learn with Katie, she is very organised and efficient, whilst she tailors the learning experience to what I need.
Aslam H
My son is full of praise of her knowledge and teaching style. Many thanks Katie

Katie has been working with my daughter since November 2022 to support her learning during her A-Levels. Her support has been invaluable during this period and will continue to be until she completes her examinations this year. Katie always is so responsive to any queries I, as Mum, have. Thank you Katie.
Utku B
A dynamic and engaging educator, who really focuses on the needs of their students, and helps them excel in chemistry.
Emma D
Katie was really brilliant at helping me with my chemistry a level, she delivered really personalised lessons, always checked with my progress and worked at a pace that really suited me! She explained the inorganic concepts so well and was really supportive! Couldn’t recommend her enough and will definitely continue lessons when I go to university as well :)
Andrew H
Fantastic support given to my second year Chemistry student son. We've seen a noticeable improvement in confidence in just a few weeks. The lessons are thoroughly enjoyed and provide different and focused way of learning. Thank you Katie.

Katie is a highly professional chemistry tutor, who knows tiny details from exam boards specifications which are often overlooked by chemistry teachers. She knows how to explain topics and 6 marks questions in a way that is easy to understand. I never had to ask her to repeat her explanation or make it simpler. Her explanations are always straightforward and provide everything that you need to know for your exams. In addition, she knows tricks how to solve time consuming-questions (for example, electron configuration and explanation questions) in a minute or two. I fully recommend Katie for anybody who has any issues understanding chemistry or just struggling to understand how to answer a question from the past paper to get full marks.
Cameron L
Fantastic tutor. I greatly enjoyed my lessons with Katie, and she made them both fun and educational. She entertained all of my questions even when they were completely irrelevant or way beyond what I actually needed to know. She recognised how I learnt best and adapted her lessons to suit me. She knew the Edexcel A-Level specification extremely well, and made sure that my answers would match the spec very closely so that I wouldn’t lose any marks due to tiny details/wording. Would 100% recommend for anyone struggling with Chemistry, or aiming for the top grades. 😁

Katie provided a holistic teaching method, ensuring that there was a perfect balance between the understanding of exam technique and digesting the content at hand, making sure that the content is delivered in a way tailored towards the students way of thinking rather than a general blanket form of teaching. Consistently providing thorough lessons, targeted to the specific needs and gaps for that week! Highly recommend Katie as a tutor for any upcoming or existing A-Level Chemistry students.
Olivia L
Katie is a fantastic teacher! Before starting tutoring I was continuously getting Ds and Es in topic assessments but after only a short period of time with her tutoring my grades went up and at the end of the course I received a B grade. I highly recommend her tutoring as she always spent time going through content and only moving on when everything was understood.
Vidarshi
Katie always tailored the lesson to my specific requests for the week and her vast knowledge only elevates the quality of teaching! Highly recommended for any A-Level student!
Unami H
Katie really helped me in my chemistry A level, she designed every lesson specifically to my needs and gave so many useful tips.
