Katherine

Hi! My name is Katherine, and my background is in particle physics. I’ve always loved both maths and physics and completed a PhD at the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva on the hunt for dark matter. I’ve been teaching one way or another for the last six years - from groups of undergraduates at university to primary school classes. I have significant experience in building strong foundations for primary school students, and accelerating their progress to get ahead of the curriculum. I have also supported many GCSE students who have fallen behind on the curriculum, helping them achieve predicted grades (or above!).

Experience: By the time students reach GCSE, the volume of material can seem overwhelming. I will show you that once we have mastered the three core topics, all the rest are just a few small, logical steps away. My goal is for students to become independent problem solvers, so they can make those small steps themselves - not because I’ve told them what to do, but by guiding them in how to think about unfamiliar problems. We work together to build real understanding and confidently apply that to any type of question. The same approach works brilliantly for primary school students, who will continue to benefit from those foundations for many years!
