Nigel Straney

I’m Nigel Straney, a UK-qualified Chemistry teacher and former A-Level examiner with over 30 years of experience helping students master the subject. My career has taken me from classrooms in UK and international schools to working one-to-one with private students worldwide. As an examiner, I’ve reviewed thousands of scripts, giving me unique insight into the common mistakes that cost marks—and how to avoid them. My teaching goes beyond memorisation; I focus on building deep understanding by connecting complex concepts into clear, logical frameworks. Whether it’s GCSE or A-Level Chemistry, I help students develop the confidence to structure answers precisely, apply knowledge under exam conditions, and achieve the grades they deserve. My approach creates a supportive environment where questions are encouraged and mistakes become learning opportunities. I work with students across 27 countries online, tailoring lessons to their individual needs and goals. If you’re aiming for top marks, I’ll help you get there through targeted exam technique and subject mastery.
