About Dr. Torben Smith

With over 20 years of experience teaching A-Level Chemistry, I've spent a significant portion of my career as the Head of Faculty at Bilborough 6th Form College in Nottingham, one of the consistently high-performing A-level Chemistry departments in the UK. In addition to my full-time job, I've been offering face-to-face chemistry tutoring to a small number of students each year. In September 2023 I reduced my hours and leadership role at the college to free up more time for A-level tutoring. I am now fully equipped to provide online tutoring sessions as well.

What You'll Get

Alongside expert tutoring, I provide help between sessions and a shared drive with personalised resources and topic folders. This includes access to some pre-recorded lessons, modified exam papers, and lots more. I hold a doctorate in organic chemistry and have a particularly thorough understanding of the AQA and OCR syllabuses. If you're local, you might find individuals now in Medical or Dental school who I have tutored in the past. Many of my previous tutees have seen their Chemistry grades improve significantly, with jumps from a D grade in year 12 mocks to an A grade in the real exams being quite common.

International Tutoring

I also offer support for the Oxford International AQA Chemistry A-level course for students outside the UK.

A Track Record of Excellence

In the tutoring season of 2023, all my year 13 students achieved an A* grade. Reflecting on my day job, over 50% of my past A-level students achieved an ALPS grade 1, placing them in the top 1% of the country for Value Added (A-level vs GCSE). The majority of the rest were ALPS 2 (top 10% VA).

I’ve been teaching A-level Chemistry full time for 20 years, and all of my classes have achieved exceptional results in terms of grades and value added.

Beyond Tutoring

In addition to tutoring, I can offer assistance with UCAS applications, motivation, study skills, exam technique, entrance exams, and more. My students receive examination questions from multiple exam boards as I have access to all UK boards and beyond. I've marked thousands of exam papers, collecting relevant questions from every exam board in the UK to share the most useful ones for your exams.
