I have been a very successful secondary school teacher for 35 years in schools in Essex and the London Boroughs of Havering and Redbridge. Most recently I taught in a high achieving school where large numbers of students take physics at A level and a significant proportion gain the highest grades and continue to highly regarded universities. I am a physics graduate and have taught physics to A level every year since qualifying, including at GCSE level as triple science and also as part of combined/double science. For the majority of my teaching career I have been a Head of Physics or Head of Science so am very experienced at writing, marking and moderating assessments.
As a highly experienced qualified teacher, I am very familiar with the requirements of the examination boards as well as effective methods to enable students to gain high grades. I am aware of common misconceptions that students may have about different topics and how best to overcome misunderstandings. I can help with revision before assessments and can support students with developing successful exam techniques. I can also support students with the transition to A level either prior to starting the A level or during the course.
As a private tutor I draw on all of my school teaching experience to plan and deliver lessons that suit the needs of the individual student. I prepare structured lessons involving relevant resources and I provide written feedback after each lesson on the lesson coverage and the student`s progress.
