Chemistry Review runs an occasional feature called Project Page. This is designed to help those students who have to carry out their own choice of chemical investigation as part of their post-16 course (for example, in the Salters Advanced Chemistry Course).

Bacteria are slippery little suckers. They evolve rapidly, developing resistance to antibiotics and therefore becoming increasingly difficult to deal with.

I am a private tutor with over 20 years of experience. I offer lessons in Science and Maths up to GCSE/iGCSE (age 16), 11+/13+ (NVR, Science, Maths and some Verbal reasoning) and Chemistry, Biology and Marine Science to A-level/IAL (age 18).
I currently have vacancies for students Monday to Thursday 9am until 3pm UK time (sorry but all of my weekend and evening lessons are fully booked), which would suit homeschooled, A-level and overseas students. I am happy to cover any Syllabus (UK or overseas). I have tutored students all over the world using online tuition and have covered many syllabi from different countries.
Lessons can be occasional or longer term and can last anywhere between 15 minutes and 2 hours-whatever suits your needs.
Most of my tutoring is based online using Skype or Evotuition but it may be possible to arrange face to face tuition for local students. All students need to be able to access the lessons is a tablet or computer and an internet connection. Private tuition is a great way to ensure that A-level students use their study periods effectively.
Inbox me for rates and to discuss your needs.

I have finally started putting together keyword lists for A2 Biology on Quizlet. It is currently limited to respiration but I aim to add more as I cover different topics. Expect some crossover into Marine Science as I have been asked to tutor that this year.......we all know I like a challenge! Look for me under 'users' my user name is ellen_farrell5 and you should be able to access my card sets from there
