TT Common Room

Rich Thompson:

Rich finished his Biology Degree with first class honours, and went on to become one of the foremost exam experts in the UK for 10+ years. His teaching method is highly focused on exam preparation, since that's what results in high grades at the end of the year.

Rich's teaching system is a hybrid between learning + exam preparation, so that all of the information that students pull from his course will apply on the exam. Students who use this system improve by 1.7 grades on average, with over half of all students increasing by 2 or more grades.

Rich Warburton:

I’m Rich! Self-confessed Chemistry geek, tech-lover, guitar-worshipper and proud ginger Welshman (although I don’t have the accent!).

I’ve been tutoring for over 15 years and have had great success in helping students achieve their potential in Chemistry, explaining it in a way that they understand. Chemistry is hard! Whether it’s working through those tough calculations or finding ways to remember that long list of organic chemistry reagents and conditions I promise you, there’s a way through! I use a variety of techniques to help you target the areas that will maximise your grade potential.

I have an honours degree in Pharmacology from Bath University, I can help you make links with the Biology course too!

Chemistry still has a stigma of being a dry, boring course , conjuring up images of cold labs, stained lab coats and long lists of reactions. Well, let’s change that! Chemistry is the science of “stuff”! It’s what drives Biology. It’s the building blocks of Physics! It’s the reason why your food tastes the way it does, why your favourite shampoo works, why the tech we use is getting faster! Isn’t it about time we learned about that!?

Ronnie George:

Ronnie has a first class degree in Maths and is probably the most enormous maths geek in the country. Her job for 15 years has been to teach A Level Maths and Further Maths, and in her spare time she does maths; teaching Saturday classes for potential Oxbridge students, tutoring students privately and taking Open University Masters courses in Maths.

As a student using online learning with the OU, Ronnie has first hand experience of what works and what doesn’t work, and began to build a bank of video lessons which have already helped hundreds of students improve their confidence and mathematical skills, leading to much higher grades. But hundreds is not enough, now she wants to reach thousands of students. She is convinced that all students have the ability to pass the A Level maths exams and even enjoy studying maths and has made it her mission to convince everyone who will listen.

But it’s not just about the clear impassioned maths tuition and well organised course materials, there’s another reason why you will benefit hugely from being taught by Ronnie - she is a senior examiner for Edexcel… she literally writes the mark schemes and examiner reports! Sadly, she can’t tell you what’s in the exams but she will train you to be able to respond confidently to whatever is thrown at you. With Ronnie on your team, you are going to absolutely smash your A Level Maths exams.
