AGUIAR SCIENCE ACADEMY
Scientific understanding that goes beyond the syllabus
Personal academic mentorship for ambitious science students
IGCSE - Chemistry, Biology, Physics
A Level - Chemistry, Biology
University - Biochemistry
Small-group mentorship — Learn together, reason together
1:1 bespoke mentorship — Individual guidance shaped around the student's goals
TWO WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER
SMALL-GROUP MENTORSHIP
Learn together. Think more deeply.
Weekly sessions combine expert teaching with collaborative problem-solving. Students learn to explain their reasoning, challenge ideas and make connections across scientific topics. Between sessions, they can continue learning and asking questions within their study group.
£280/month per studentFounder Rate for the First Five Small groups.
For motivated students who benefit from structured, collaborative learning and sustained academic support.
1:1 BESPOKE MENTORSHIP
Individual attention. A deeper understanding of science.
For students with ambitious academic goals, including medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine and leading STEM programmes.Four individual sessions each month, combined with intermittent WhatsApp communication and offline support.Together, we develop an individual academic strategy based on the student's current understanding, strengths, challenges and ambitions. The aim is not simply to cover the material, but to build the knowledge, reasoning and confidence needed to progress independently.
From £500/month
For students who would benefit from a sustained, individual academic relationship.
SCIENCE IS WHAT I DO
I've spent my career investigating scientific questions that don't have answers at the back of a textbook
- PhD in Experimental Medicine — McGill University
- Five years of biomedical research at Harvard Medical School
- More than a decade in biotechnology and cancer research
- 600+ science classes delivered
- 18 scientific publications
- Experience teaching British-curriculum and international science students
I bring research-level scientific understanding to the teaching of school and university science.
I can help students understand the curriculum. I can also help them see the connections between Chemistry, Biology and Physics, evaluate evidence, approach unfamiliar problems and reason when the answer isn't immediately obvious.
My aim is to help students become more capable, confident and independent thinkers.
A PERSONAL ACADEMIC RELATIONSHIP
Online. Flexible. Personal.
I deliberately work with a limited number of students so I can remain personally involved in their progress.This is a long-term approach to academic development, not one-off homework help. We work towards meaningful goals, identify weaknesses before they become entrenched and build understanding over time.The right programme depends on the student, their current needs and what they hope to achieve.
WHAT STUDENTS, PARENTS & COLLEAGUES SAY
“I'm just reaching out to inform you of the great news of me getting 96/100 on my final exam! Thank you so much for all your help with this course. I hope we may be able to work together again in future courses.”— Undergraduate Biochemistry Student
“A has got his GCSE results today. He has got Grade 9 in all core subjects and 7/8 in languages. Specifically, 89.4% in Chemistry and 82.2% in Biology. Thank you for your support and guidance.”— Parent of an IGCSE Chemistry Student
“Mike has a unique ability to make connections between various ‘separate’ fields of science. Because he understands deeply how things work, he can explain complex concepts very effectively in layman's terms.Having taught for over 20 years, I wish every young person had the chance to be exposed to Mike's thinking and excitement around anything related to science.”— Wendy Coleman, MEd (Harvard)
