Why Learn from
an A-Level Examiner?
I'm Nigel Straney, a UK-qualified teacher and current A-Level Chemistry examiner. For over 30 years, I've seen exactly where students lose marks. My experience on the other side of the exam paper—marking thousands of scripts—gives me a unique insight into what examiners are looking for. I don't just teach the syllabus; I teach students how to think like an examiner and answer questions with confidence.

Proven Results from Students Worldwide
Absolutely amazing tutor, I researched a lot before deciding on Nigel and thankfully this paid off.
Nigel is meticulous and ensures that the student has a good grasp of the exam and format, all those past papers which were set week after week and religiously marked paid off. Thank you Nigel !
Without Nigels help my son would not have got his A grade.
I have no hesitation in recommending Nigel.
Chemistry is a tough subject and unlike some other tutors this is all Nigel teaches, and he knows all the specs for the boards really well. Thank you again !

I was very fortunate to have Nigel of Simply Chemistry tutor me for the last year and a bit. He really brought me up to a level where I was extremely confident and positive with my knowledge. He is an extremely brilliant tutor and has great tools, slides and packs which are shared over the sessions and they also enabled me to crack the topics. This is over and above his teaching techniques and implicit knowledge of the whole subject!
Received my A Level grade today and am very proud to say I got a very strong A* something that I could not have envisaged before starting with Simply Chemistry.
A massive thanks to Nigel.

Nigel is indeed the master of his craft! His attention to detail is meticulous. He is methodical and consistent. He tailored his approach to maximise our child’s potential. He is engaging and is dedicated to both the subject and his pursuit of excellence.
