Well qualified and highly experienced tutor available for tutoring physics to A-level standard.

With a professional background in engineering and physics, in both academia and industry, I am passionate about my subject, and can impart that passion to the students that I teach, allowing them to see beyond the equations to understand the meaning behind, and the application of the principles that they encounter. This has enabled most of my students to achieve the very highest of grades, and many of them to achieve more highly than they thought possible. In fact, the majority of my students, particularly those struggling with the subject, gain a minimum of a two-grade increase (e.g. C to A or D to B) from their mock performance to their final result after just 4 months of study with me. That said, I recommend that parents engage a tutor as early as possible during their child`s course, to maximise the benefit of personal tuition.

I am happy to tutor according to any exam board or specification, and will source suitable exam materials whenever necessary, to assist the tutee`s learning process. I provide a full record, in the form of written notes, of each tutoring session, including online sessions, to allow each student to review the work covered in their own time.

My rates are competitive and commensurate with my experience and outcomes. I both tutor in my own home in the centre of Salisbury, and in the tutee`s own home, depending upon distance.

If tutoring at the student`s home, to cover expenses, I charge £5 in addition to the normal tuition fee, for homes within the SP1 and SP2 postcode areas or within 5 miles of my home. Beyond that, I charge £1 per mile distance between my home and the student`s home.

While a session would be of a minimum length of one-hour, I often recommend to parents that a 90-minute weekly session is more beneficial, as it give students time to settle into the session, and maximises their learning. The majority of parents opt for the longer session.

If you feel that you need that extra little help in achieving the grades that you need or desire, then do not hesitate to contact me.

Availability: Immediate and flexible regarding time.

Willing to travel: 20 miles

Experience: I am a fully qualified teacher of physics with many years of experience in teaching iGCSE and A-level physics, most of them as Head of Department. I have taught in a number of prestigious schools, including King Edwards Bath, The Godolphin School, and The American School of Marrakech. I hold both Bachelor`s and Master`s degrees from the University of Southampton.
