Hello and thanks for looking at my site. My name is Simon Cannon. I am a recently retired teacher with 20 years of classroom teaching under my belt. In that time, I have worked in a range of (mostly highly academic) schools in London, Brighton, West Cumbria and Devon. I have recently moved back to live in Poole with my partner, Alison, and our two dogs and am now offering my services as a Chemistry and Biology tutor to local students in-person or, to those further afield, online. Unusually, I have worked both as a Head of Chemistry and a Head of Biology and this is why I am able to offer rigorously academic, high quality tuition in either, or both, of these subjects at GCSE and ‘A’ Level.

 

You will find my details on a variety of tutoring websites and I am happy to operate through those platforms but they typically charge up to 50% on top of my hourly rate of £60. These websites are rather more sophisticated than my own (!) and contain references and evidence of my enhanced DBS status. To give a flavour of what I can offer, however, I include, below, comments from two of my former students:

 

This, from a former GCSE student: “I will miss our fun chats and even if you didn’t know it you made me smile on days when I didn’t want to. I may not like Chemistry but I was always excited for your lesson!”

And this, from a former ‘A’ Level student now in her third year at medical school: “The things that I once saw as impossible have become possible to me! I am really grateful for the way in which I felt I could comfortably ask you questions (even if they were often really stupid) and it was never too much trouble to answer them. You have shown me so much kindness over the years and it has meant the world.”
