After gaining my degree in Physics from the University of Reading, I spent 18 years in industry working in lighting research, IT and project management.

 

I then moved into teaching and now have 18 years teaching experience including 8 years as Head of Department. This unique background means I am well placed to make tricky physics topics clear and boost exam confidence.

 

Helping a learner to progress requires that the teacher be able to understand the current state of a students knowledge. The teacher then needs to identify mis-understandings and help students self-correct.

 

This requires a skillset that can only be gained through experience and self-reflection. I now have that experience. With the added bonus of having examined for the main exam boards, I know that I can help students to improve their grade performance.

 

I have seen a lot of tutoring website which "guarantee" grade improvement. That is a really tricky guarantee to make, and one that is very hard to measure. I've helped many students to improve by one or occasionally two grades. Exams are fundamentally a competition - it's about helping students to do better than their peers.
