Jose

José Manuel is a tutor specialising in IB Science and Chemistry, with experience working with students in the IB MYP and IB Diploma Programme (DP). He is currently a Science teacher at an international school in Seville, where he works with students across different levels and academic needs. He holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Chemistry and a Master’s Degree in Teacher Training, specialising in Physics and Chemistry, allowing him to combine strong subject knowledge with specialised teaching training.

José Manuel focuses on helping students understand the concepts behind the subject rather than simply memorising information. He uses his scientific and laboratory background to make complex topics more practical and understandable, adapting lessons to the student's level, curriculum, and learning objectives. He has extensive professional experience in physico-chemical laboratory analysis, quality control, environmental engineering, and R&D, which allows him to bring practical scientific knowledge and real-world applications into his lessons.

José Manuel is most comfortable teaching in Spanish. He can also support students in English where appropriate, particularly with scientific concepts and subject-specific terminology.
