About

Meet Dr Brogden

With a PhD in Chemistry from the University of Reading and more than twenty years of classroom experience, Dr Anna Brogden has dedicated her career to making chemistry accessible, engaging, and rewarding for students of every ability.

Anna has held senior positions at some of the UK’s most distinguished independent schools — serving as Head of Chemistry at both New Hall School and Truro School, and teaching at Berkhamsted School. She has guided hundreds of students to top grades at GCSE and A-Level, and has a proven track record of preparing candidates for Oxbridge entry.

Her teaching philosophy centres on building deep understanding rather than rote memorisation. Every session is tailored to the individual student — identifying gaps, reinforcing fundamentals, and developing the problem-solving confidence that distinguishes the highest achievers.
