Chemistry tutoring

I’m in need of a tutor right now.
If your a Medical student right now who has achieved all A*s (or almost) and wants to tutor on the side then please let me know

-proof of study needed please
-Females only (no offence)

I did make another post like this but it got taken down for some reason (I do know there was one person who said they’re willing to do it but I can’t re find you so if your still open to the idea please let me know)

As I believe I have said before, if you do end up looking for a tutor, please look for qualified teachers who charge sensible rates. The last thing you want to do is get a dodgy tutor who benefits you very little and so wastes both your time and money. It's also for the better to not ask TSR directly for a user here to tutor you - as lovely and well-meaning as I'm sure most people who would volunteer to tutor you on TSR will be, the chances they actually know what they are doing from a pedagogical standpoint are pretty slim.

Also, there are some rules established which require one not to share off-site contact details. Getting a tutor via TSR would no doubt require you (or the potential tutor) to share such details.

Yea I know but I needed not being able to survive without a tutor and plus I know people who have said that although medical students don’t necessarily qualify to be a tutor, they’re still great and don’t charge as much as a real tutor

Do what you think will benefit you most, but I would still strongly urge you to avoid asking TSR directly for tutors. There are better places to look. Start by searching for tutoring agencies that operate in your area and see what results they bring up. If they let you know who their tutors are and what sorts of experience they have, even better. Even better yet, if they have a "try before you buy" option, I see no harm in having a look.

Failing that, if you are okay with being tutored online somehow, see if there are any results for "A level chemistry tutoring online". I'd be surprised if there is absolutely nothing.

I want to be tutored in person but if it’s someone who’s currently doing medicine then I don’t mind if it’s online

Well, if getting an in person tutor is problematic due to the prices/availability (which I completely understand and agree makes them unreliable options), it's best to see what you can do in terms of getting an online tutor. Many of whom will be current medicine undergrads who will be at university right now as term hasn't ended, hence making in-person tutoring difficult for them (especially if they aren't studying in your local area) but online tutoring more manageable.

Whist ordinarily this isn't something I'd recommend, I can hardly see any better alternative options.
