I am a science teacher, with a specialism in physics and chemistry. I worked for five years in Sussex schools, but have moved away from full-time teaching to pursue my many other interests outside of school. I have tutored since before training as a teacher, and have always found the 1:1 attention you can give to be so much mnore efficient and effective than in any class environment. It's possible to cover an order of magnitude more material in tutored sessions, and have more fun doing so. It's a shame that's not possible in school.

My style is straight forward and simple, and is based on both the pedagogical and psychological proinciples of learning. Both for my students, and my own learning, I try to work as efficiently as possible, using the time available effectively. Sessions can be intense and focused, but quickly show results.

I tutor either online or in person, but in my most recent teaching post I taught the entirety of the lockdown period remotely, so am familiar and comfortable with remote teaching platforms and techiques.

About Me

I studied Philosophy and Theology at Kings College London, and then Planetary Science with Astronomy at Birkbeck College London. I trained as a physics teacher at Sussex University, but only started this training after working as a technical designer and engineer in the electronics industry for 18 years.

I am an avid rock climber and paraglider pilot, and have instructed paragliding during my school summer holidays. I am working towards coaching climbing, and am tutoring and working as a supply teacher largely to facilitate that training.

Services

I offer science GCSE tuition in person and online, and A-level physics online.
