- Waves & practical skills
Chemistry
Making sense of atoms, reactions and calculations so the equations stop feeling like a foreign language.
- Bonding & structure
- Moles & calculations
- Organic chemistry
Essay writing
Planning, arguing and editing, so ideas land clearly in coursework, English and humanities answers.
- Structuring an argument
- Using evidence well
- Timed exam responses

About the tutor
Calm guidance for anxious learners and ambitious ones
Drift Atlas began with a simple idea: most students are not “bad at” a subject, they are simply lost at one particular turning. Sessions slow down to find that turning, then build a clear path from there.
Every lesson is prepared around the student’s own exam board, homework and pace, with space for questions they might not ask in a full classroom.
- PatientMistakes are treated as useful clues, never as failures.
- StructuredEach session has one clear aim and ends with a short recap.
- HonestParents get straightforward updates on effort and progress.
Session formats
Choose the pace that fits the term
All formats are one-to-one and available online or in the student’s home, depending on availability.
Single session
Ideal for untangling one tricky topic, reviewing a mock paper or getting unstuck before a test.
- Focused on one topic
- Follow-up practice set
- Book when needed
Term route
A consistent weekly slot with a written plan, the best option for rebuilding confidence over time.
- Diagnostic and plan
- Weekly 60 or 90 minutes
- Progress notes each half term
Exam sprint
A short, intensive run-up to exams covering priority topics, past papers and timing strategy.
- Priority topic map
- Timed past-paper practice
- Revision timetable support
Rates depend on level and frequency and are shared clearly after the first conversation — there is no obligation to book.
Questions
Before you get in touch
Can’t see your question here? Add it to the enquiry form and it will be answered in the first reply.
How do online sessions work?
Sessions run over video with a shared digital whiteboard, so working can be written out together in real time. A laptop or tablet with a camera is all that is needed.
What happens in the first session?
A gentle diagnostic: a few questions at different levels, a chat about how school lessons feel, and a short plan summarising where to begin.
Can parents sit in?
Yes, especially for younger students or the first session. Many families find students open up more once they settle, so we agree what works best together.
Do you provide materials?
Practice questions, summary sheets and past-paper suggestions are provided, matched to the student’s exam board and current school topics.
What if we need to cancel?
Life happens. Sessions can be moved with reasonable notice, and the full rescheduling policy is shared in writing before any booking.
