About George Maxwell
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I enjoy the challenge of answering any type of question, but please don't post homework questions just "blank"; include something to show you've had a go :-)

Experience
I'm a lecturer in chemistry and chemical education in York, UK, and I also act as a Hazchem adviser to the Fire Service, providing chemical safety information to first responders. My professional role also includes providing emergency poisons advice to UK medical practitioners.

Publications
Journal of Chemical Education TES Plus independent book publications.

Education/Credentials
BSc Chemistry (University of York 2005) PhD Chemistry (NYU) PGCE Teaching Certification

Past/Present Clients
I have previously volunteered in this category, but owing to an email problem, I am re-regestering. I have taught for both Nottinghamshire and Yorkshire education authorities and for several independent youth organisations. I provide continuing support for North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service and the UK Poisons Information Service (London-Based).
