About Lydia
I am a doctoral researcher at Durham University in the final stages of my postgraduate qualification. I submitted my PhD thesis in Organic Synthesis and Spectroscopy in January 2026 and am currently awaiting my viva. My academic background includes a degree from Newcastle University, which featured a year of study at LMU Munich.
Prior to my PhD, I gained two years of industrial experience in food chemistry and biochemistry. This professional background allows me to provide a practical perspective and help students understand the subject beyond the classroom.
I provide a calm and focused environment where students can tackle challenging material with confidence.

My lessons are primarily for GCSE and A-Level students who need supportive, interactive and structured guidance through challenging material. I typically lead one-hour sessions which begin by checking your understanding of a specific topic before moving on to supervised practice with past paper questions. I focus on ensuring you understand the "why" behind the science so that you do not have to rely on memorisation alone. By the end of each lesson, we will have established a clear method for solving the types of problems you will face in your exams.

Lydia acts as a great motivator for those who work with her. Her obvious enthusiasm for learning and spreading her own knowledge provides great encouragement and inspiration. She is a natural with working with people across the scope of understanding as is clear in her desire to see other people reach their academic targets regardless of the level at which they are at. She is clear at communicating exactly what she needs to say and is endlessly patient with anyone she is helping. She has acted as a great support network for my own work and can always think laterally to help solve problems - always adapting how she presents her work to suit how the individual learns. I have worked with Lydia over the span of my PhD, through all my highs and lows where she is always ready to help with struggles and celebrate achievements of who she is working with!
I’ve worked with Lydia for a few years as a demonstrator and tutor at Durham University. I can honestly say she’s a brilliant find for anyone struggling with Chemistry.
Lydia is an incredibly enthusiastic and passionate tutor who actually makes Chemistry fun. She has a real gift for taking "boring" topics and turning them into something engaging. Her lessons are never dull, she’s genuinely nice, easy to talk to, and her energy is infectious.
I’m recommending her because she’s one of those rare tutors who truly cares about her students' progress. She is completely trustworthy, reliable, and just a lovely person to work with.View more recommendations
