Chemistry teacher with over 25 years teaching experience in UK state and private independent schools. I am currently Head of Chemistry in an independent school. I know my resources work with student's understanding of Chemistry as they have been tried, tested and revised with emphasis on independent student learning and extension. They are designed mainly for the Edexcel IGCSE Chemistry course but can be used with minor modifications for exam boards such as Cambridge, AQA or similar syllabi.
