Safwaan S.

Hey guys! My name is Saf — I’m a Chemistry graduate from Imperial College London, ranked 2nd in the world (QS World University Rankings 2026), and currently a medical student. I’ve been tutoring for over 8 years, specialising in A-Level Chemistry, and have supported more than 80 students from KS2 through to university level.

Many of my A-Level students have gone on to study highly competitive courses, including Medicine (Southampton [x2], Cambridge, King’s College London, Newcastle, Imperial, Manchester), Dentistry (Barts & The London), Biochemical Engineering (UCL & Sheffield), Chemical Engineering (UCL & Birmingham), Pharmacy (King’s College London), Pharmacology (Bristol), and Chemistry (Southampton, Manchester). One of my former students — now a junior doctor — ranked 3rd out of 270 in their year for A-Level Chemistry.

I began tutoring in 2017 by running revision sessions at my college to help students adapt to the new A-Level format. That early experience led to me receiving the Chemistry Award for academic performance and contribution to the department. Since then, I’ve continued to tutor both A-level and undergraduate students, including first- and second-year students at Imperial.

All lessons are delivered online via Zoom, where I use my iPad to annotate diagrams, explain concepts, go through past papers, and make real-time notes that students can refer back to. Lessons are interactive, personalised, and focused on building both subject understanding and exam technique. I teach across all major exam boards — AQA, OCR, Edexcel — as well as international curricula, and I regularly work with international students. I’m always happy to adapt to individual needs or requests from students and parents to ensure each session is as effective and supportive as possible.
