Magda Johnstone

Head of Science, Key Stages 4 & 5

About

Magda has an MPhil and Hon BEng in Organic Chemistry and has spent over 30 years as a passionate and driven teacher. She is an experienced tutor, lecturer, Head of Department, Head of A-level Science and Head of Faculty in her work outside Wendover.

“There is a powerful reason I have chosen to spend so much of my life teaching,” she says: “I get a great sense of fulfilment when guiding young students in their academic pathways and helping them to achieve their best potential.”

Always looking for opportunities for students to expand and ignite their interest in chemistry, Magda has explored the UK Chemistry Olympiad (a leading chemistry competition for secondary students across Britain) and Cambridge Chemistry Challenge (C3L6). Her enthusiasm and expertise help her students achieve top grades and give them a lasting enthusiasm for science subjects.

Magda thoroughly enjoys teaching online because she believes it gives the tailored education students, parents and teachers all desire. From the comfort of their homes and closeness to their families, students can meet up with teachers and colleagues many miles away, while enjoying learning and working together.

In her spare time, Magda loves to spend time with her family and friends, taking pleasure in swimming, yoga, nature, listening to music, cooking and much more. “I am happiest when the people around me are happy!”
