About me
After graduating with a first class degree in Physics I worked in a variety of technical fields until changing career to become a full-time private tutor in 2010.
I'm an enthusiastic believer in the teaching of mathematics and science. Both these disciplines develop our problem solving abilities, promote logical thinking and provide the challenge & satisfaction of following through a process to a conclusion.
My hobbies include running, cycling, cross-country skiing, hill walking in Scotland with my wife and hiking in New Zealand (sadly not as often as I would like!). My hardest bike ride was the South Downs Way in a day which I completed in Sept 2022 - 100 miles off-road with 3500 metres of vertical climbing.
My Qualifications
I also hold a DBS certificate (dated 25 Feb 2021) which you are welcome to see (along with my qualification certificates) when we first meet.
Kayaking in New Zealand
My approach to tuition
I aim to create a friendly atmosphere and encourage my students to ask questions, which they may not ask in a classroom environment. My explanations are clear and simple and I adapt my teaching methods to match my student's school lessons.
It's important to make each lesson an enjoyable and interesting experience and I try to impart my enthusiasm for the subjects.
