About Grace
I’ve taught science in a Leeds comprehensive for nine years. I like practical lessons, low-stakes quizzing and the moment a quiet student explains something to the rest of the class.
I also tutor GCSE and A-level Chemistry online, and write free revision resources used by teachers around the country.
