I am a career chemist and master educator holding a BSc (Hons) and a PhD in Chemistry. As a fully registered teacher with the Queensland College of Teachers (QCT), I bring an elite level of academic authority and 48 years of teaching experience directly to my students.

• Research Investigation (IA3): Crafting high-scoring literature evaluations and evidence-based arguments.
• External Examinations (EA): Mastering advanced problem-solving frameworks, structural exam strategy, and high-yield content mastery.
I also offer support for the IB programme:
• IB Diploma Programme (SL & HL): Master-level instruction aligned with the 2025/2026 Structure & Reactivity curriculum framework.

My Teaching Philosophy
Chemistry shouldn't feel like an insurmountable wall of equations. My sessions focus on deep conceptual understanding rather than rote memorization. Whether you are struggling to grasp the fundamentals or looking to push your ATAR score from a B to a high A, I tailor my approach to your specific goals. I am available for highly focused in-person sessions across the Gold Coast or via interactive, resource-rich online lessons for students nationwide.
I am the creator of "Dr. T Does Chemistry," an established educational website and dedicated YouTube channel. Across these platforms, I have recorded comprehensive, topic-by-topic video guides teaching the entire ATAR Chemistry syllabus and breaking down official external exam question papers. Parents and students are welcome to search for "Dr. T Does Chemistry" online to preview my teaching style, see my clear communication methods, and read student reviews before booking our first session.
