Hi, I'm Nathan, the teacher behind MrColeScience!
I’ve been teaching A-Level Chemistry for 14 years, and one of the things I’ve always enjoyed most about teaching is finding ways to explain things so that they actually make sense.
A-Level Chemistry can be an incredibly challenging subject. There’s a lot of content to learn, plenty of ideas and concepts to get your head around, and sometimes it can feel as though you’re expected to understand something before you’ve really had the chance to get to grips with it.
But with a good explanation, a bit of time, and the opportunity to put what you’ve learned into practice, things can start to fall into place. And that’s what I want to help you with!
A little about me...
Before starting MrColeScience, I spent 15 years as a Science teacher in secondary schools and I’ve been teaching A-Level Chemistry for 14 of those years. Over those years, I’ve had the privilege to work with students with all sorts of abilities, ambitions and starting points. Some were aiming for the highest grades possible; others were working hard to build their confidence and just get to grips with the subject.
During my time in the classroom I learned that there’s rarely just one way to explain something. Sometimes you need to go back to the basics, look at an idea from a different angle, or take a little more time to understand how everything fits together. And that’s an important part of how I approach teaching. It’s not just about knowing the subject; it’s about finding ways to help students understand it.
Why MrColeScience?
I loved teaching in the classroom, but over time I found myself wanting to spend more of my time doing what I enjoyed most: teaching Chemistry and helping students learn. So, in April 2026, I left the classroom to focus on building MrColeScience.
I wanted the freedom to develop lessons and resources in my own way, and to create something that students could turn to whenever they needed a bit of extra help. Because learning doesn’t stop when the school bell rings. Sometimes you need to revisit a lesson, work through a topic at your own pace, or find another explanation before something finally makes sense.
And not everyone has access to the same support outside the classroom. Private tuition can be expensive, and access to specialist Chemistry teaching isn’t the same for every student. I’d love MrColeScience to help bridge that gap by making experienced, specialist teaching, useful resources and guidance available to more students, whatever their starting point or circumstances.
There’s a lot I’d like to build, and I’m excited to see where it goes. For now, I’m concentrating on creating good lessons and resources, one topic at a time.
Let's get started
Whether you’re just beginning A-Level Chemistry, working through a topic that’s proving tricky, or preparing for your exams, I hope you find something here that helps. My aim is to give you clear explanations, useful resources and a little more confidence in your Chemistry, so you can keep moving forward.
Thanks for stopping by. I’m glad you’re here!
Nathan (Mr. Cole)
