WHO I AM
Chemistry is my thing
I’m Adrian Dingle. I’m a true “chemistry freelancer” and Subject Matter Expert (SME). I bring thirty-two years of full-time classroom chemistry teaching experience, and tens of thousands of hours of one-on-one chemistry tutoring across the globe, to a seventeen year writing career that includes several best-selling, international award-winning chemistry books and a burgeoning portfolio of other chemistry writing projects.
A chemistry educator, tutor, writer and author, you’ll find my deep expertise applied wherever the need for an explanation of chemistry exists, where a chemistry story needs to be told, and where a void in communicating chemistry to children, students or an adult audience is found.

CHEMISTRY TUTORING
Chemistry puzzling you? If it is, I can help
Many students find their chemistry classes challenging ones. Reasons include the intellectual demands of the subject, difficulties with the mathematical aspects of chemistry, and problems associated with the instruction that they are receiving at school or college. As a result, many students will fail to reach their full potential
1-on-1 chemistry tutoring with an enormously experienced teacher, who has an extensive track-record of examination success, can help them to reach that potential

“Dear Adrian, Today is my birthday. My eighteenth birthday. This feels like a good excuse to write to you – I’ve been meaning to write for a couple years, to thank you for your writing. Eight years ago, aged 10, after forgetting to pack my miniature painting set when I went on holiday, my mum bought me a book to cheer me up. I read your book ‘How to Make a Universe with 92 Ingredients’ at least three times that fortnight, cover-to-cover, and I was hooked by the chemistry, fascinated by the unseen world that I could explore. Inspired by your book, I would steal my brother’s textbooks to read at night, set up the family camera to film my own chemistry videos, and – most importantly – I started experimenting at home. I took my Chemistry GCSE (I live in the UK) aged twelve, four years early. I was the youngest student in the country to get a GCSE A* in 2014 in any subject. Now 18, I’m taking the International Baccalaureate, studying Maths, Chemistry and Physics at higher level. I’m applying to study Natural Sciences (Physical) at Cambridge University.” – Tom
