Painful Experience Using Carol’s Services

My daughter went on her program what a mistake! The first session we were told it was a group of 6 students- only to find that there was one student in year 10 and my daughter is in year 11.
She was teaching things which were wrong. Then when I spoke to Carol there were no feedbacks and I literally had to ask her on two occasions after the first class.
Her 1-2-1 classes were even worse she was mostly talking about her cats and other things that have nothing to do with Chemistry.
I would recommend that you “look before you use her services” and she eventually asked my daughter to do a video review without the consent of her parents. Who does that?

The portal is a joke!

I personally think she is only interested in the money and all the promises she offered on Facebook- we did not receive anything like that.

Thank you Helen B for taking the time to write a review. 
In October the group had one other person, a year 11. We went over a baseline assessment and exam question which your daughter scored 16%. I sent pictures in WhatsApp of how to answer the questions and the other student got 80%. 

You asked for feedback using text and email on the same day and I responded by text and phone. I informed you of above and the sound quality of her laptop was poor and difficult to hear her. 

The students who used the portal last year all got 9 in GCSE chemistry and A* in A level. Only videos of whiteboard are in portal. No faces or names. Everyone gives reviews and you were informed before you signed up that everything is recorded except names, which you agreed to in the contract.  This is mainly for my feedback, she expressed pleasure in classes and was cheerful. I have used some reviews in advertising, all with consent. 

Your daughter knows her dominant learning style and was taught in it and did an exam question in her first lesson (the promise,as advertised). She would have had more guidance on how to use in preparation for exams if she'd stayed longer. 

You informed me that you had made a mistake with the timings and clash with the maths class, so she was moved to a private session on Saturday, which you forgot, was often moved to fit in with her extra curricular activities. You rebooked up to December, before abruptly cancelling without the notice period.  I may have mentioned a cat if she jumped up onto the table. I know my chemistry extremely well since I've been teaching for over 10 years and was a research biochemist for 20 years with a BSc, MPhil, PGCE with top grades from top universities, using my dominant learning style. 
Oh by the way, I have been involved with medical research projects which have saves countless lives over the decades. Without knowing my knowledge of chemistry, I would not have conducted any research, some of which I was the lead investigator.
So before you critise someone else, look at what you did or didn't do to support your child's learning.

more discussion opportunities

My daughter was put in a group of A level Chemistry students, no Individual plan was there for her. Not much discussion opportunities and no encouragement for that during the lesson, initially we understood that the students will be chased to make sure they maximise their performance which was not the case.
We had to ask for an individual help session for a topic which my daughter found difficult and I had to ask for feedback about my daughter’s performance. My recommendations are, that the number of students in a group should be clearly set and limited, and the price should reflect that, more discussion opportunities should be given during the lesson alongside some questions to make sure that students understand the lesson. That also could help the tutor to get a better understanding of the student needs and diagnose their weakness to be treated by individual plan for each student. This programme didn’t work for my daughter who needs opportunities to talk and someone to help her to address the gaps in her performance and set plan to fill them, the lessons are already given in the schools and different teaching practice should be used in the tuitions.

Thank you for your review.
I'm sorry that you feel that the program did not work for your daughter.
But… it did really.
I spoke with her on Monday and she has improved her grades, has found her dominant learning style and is using the suggestions made to her. If she keeps doing this her grades will improve. She has watched 35% of the program on the portal and I am allowing her to stay on it until her exams in June 2023. So, the program has began to support her in her learning. As she uses her dominant style and develops it as she matures, she will be able to use it her whole life, making life much easier for studying and revision in all of her exams forever.
To address your concerns (it would have been better for you to have contacted me privately).
• I provide an individual learning plan from the start from first contact with students and throughout the program and see students privately
• Class sizes are intimate
• There is ample opportunity for discussions but students have to talk
• A different approach to school is used in teaching the material, so bigger picture is seen from the onset
• Program didn’t work – her grades went up and she’s learnt how to use her dominant learning style. However, she didn’t submit any homework or test papers so no feedback could be given. She didn’t book any individual sessions unless prompted by me for work she was struggling on. After her last lesson, I asked her to stay behind where I told her that I am really pleased with her progress. I asked for feedback and it was positive, she mentioned no problems.

The extra support I provide beyond the class sessions are private 1-2-1 bookable sessions, parental feedback, small intimate group, access to a learning portal where videos and session notes are stored for the whole of GCSE and A level chemistry in all boards.

Atompi Academy is the only way to go!

I was taught by Atompi Academy and Carol from the ages of 10-16 for science, predominantly chemistry, and maths. As someone who was a natural at English, History and the social sciences, I found that maths and science was not the same case; yet, at GCSE I achieved AB for Science (Double Award), a B for Maths and an A for Numeracy. It goes without saying that without the help of Carol, I wouldn't have scored close to those results. Furthermore, the fact that I completed my GCSEs in the midst of COVID and what could be described an educational crisis, and yet still achieved those results, speaks volumes of the quality of teaching provided by Carol and Atompi Academy. Moreover, not only did Carol help improve my Maths and Science, she progressively changed and innovated the way I studied and absorbed information in all of my subjects by identifying my dominant learning style, teaching me how to dissect questions effectively, learn and revise best according to my learning style whilst tailoring lessons to my visual-learning needs. As an A-Level student now, I still apply the methods taught to me by Carol everyday, in all of my subjects. Carol is a kind, attentive, patient and compassionate tutor, who will go to no ends to get you the best results you can possibly achieve. I could not recommend her enough! Thank you Carol!

Carol is a excellent tutor

Carol is a excellent tutor. I know my daughter had confident issues especially with maths. But since Carol was teaching her, she has become more confident with her maths, and has done very well so far. And my daughter understood the way Carol explained each method to her. I can’t thank her enough.

Just the help we needed

Carol is an exceptional teacher and has been such a great support for our Year 11 daughter. She breaks things down into simple steps and introduces them at a comfortable speed. Carol always ensures that things are understood before moving on. She's kind, humorous and engaging.

Carol has been brilliant with my daughter who has additional learning needs. She has impressed us with her commitment, enthusiasm and flexibility in delivering face to face or online learning. She is a true profess and I would recommend her services to anyone looking for a maths or science tutor for their child.

Very happy with Carol's science tuition

My daughter has been going to Carol for Chemistry for over a year, although she's done Physics with her as well as Carol is a great tutor. She's always willing to help and very encouraging. She puts a lot of effort into designing sessions that fit my daughter's learning style and finds alternative ways of explaining science that my daughter can relate to. I would definitely recommend her.

Carol is an Excellent Chemistry Teacher!

I have worked with Carol and Atompi Academy for 1 year now. She clearly has a wealth of experience in teaching chemistry and serving her students. What's most impressive is to see Carol always looking to improve what she offers and how she can deliver a better service for her students.
