Elena Marchetti
Qualifications
MChem Chemistry
Teaching Philosophy
"Chemistry is the art of understanding matter at its most fundamental level. I believe that when students grasp the underlying principles—why electrons behave as they do, why reactions follow certain pathways—the entire subject transforms from a list of facts into an elegant, logical system. My role is to guide students to that moment of clarity."
Teaching Style
Visual and mechanistic. I emphasise reaction mechanisms, molecular models, and the periodic trends that connect seemingly disparate topics, building understanding from the ground up.

What students say
"Elena's mechanistic approach to organic chemistry changed everything for me. I finally understood why reactions happen, not just what the products are. I went from a C to an A in one term."
"Outstanding tutor with deep subject knowledge and a gift for explaining complex ideas simply. My daughter's confidence soared."
