Information about Alan
I am an appointed Advanced Level Mathematics Examiner for 2015-2024. I have successfully marked the 2024 Pure Maths. ( I have a certificate to confirm my successful marking of A Level Maths (Mechanics ) from 2015 to 2018 )
My accuracy as an examiner has given me team leader status.
I have plenty of time to prepare excellent lessons and take pride using them. I have been told that I make difficult concepts much easier to understand.
I expect students to do extra work which I will mark and give weekly feedback to student and parent.
I am an Enthusiastic teacher of Mathematics and Physics to Advanced Level-and beyond.
I enjoy sharing my knowledge and help students to fulfil their true potential. I keep up to date with Physics news.
I was a tutor at Wiltshire College for 14 years, then taught Mathematics and Science in the field of Military Science at MOD for another 14 years to 2012. This has given me a superb appreciation of the practical applications of my subjects in many situations. For example Doppler Radar and sensor circuits to identify speed and direction of enemy targets.
I have experience of being an Examiner and Moderator in A Level Physics too.
My DBS Certificate has been renewed from 6th August 2024. I use ZOOM Pro for ONLINE lessons :
I also use BITPAPER which keeps all the lessons taught in one place. Its a really innovative resource sharing environment that will cost you nothing. The student gains possession of lessons that can be referred to for revision and reinforcement of concepts.
Availability: I tutor mornings and ..
I tutor all afternoons except Saturday
I tutor all weekday evenings except Fridays.
I offer one hour or 1.5 hour lessons at weekly intervals not fortnightly.
Willing to travel: Home Only
Experience: Hons Degree Physics Nottingham University (1974)
PGCE (Leeds University 1978) Qualified Teacher Status.
At St Aldates College, Oxford, I taught A Level Maths and Physics for 6 years at an international Independent school.
At Wiltshire College, I was responsible for setting up a Mathematics Study Centre. I have a vast experience of one-to-one tuition and the negotiation of learning programs with individual students.
I have taught on a wide range of courses at Advanced Level: Pure Maths, Mechanics, Further Maths, Statistics and Physics.
Other subjects taught: GCSE Maths and Physics, BTEC Computing, HND Engineering, BEd Education
At the Ministry of Defefence, I was a subject matter expert in the following fields:
RADAR, Thermal Imaging, Ballistics, Missile Dynamics. I taught Military Science and Mathematics to Army Officers for 14 years.
I taught the use of EXCEL, SHAREPOINT and POWERPOINT. I write IOS Apple Mac IPHONE APPS
I have many great feedback comments and I want to continue Tutoring because it is great fun. All students have their own way of learning but I insist that they do extra work to consolidate their learning and parents will be able to monitor progress weekly.

Feedback For Alan (50)

Alan is a great tutor. In the very first session with my son (doing A Level Further Maths), Alan came prepared with specialised material to cover a specific topic. Alan adjusted the pace according to my sons level and covered more material than originally anticipated. My son was very happy after that and felt he had fully understood a topic he had found tricky.

Alan has been supporting my daughter who is in Year 13 taking A-level maths. He has been an excellent tutor bringing experience both as a maths teacher and examiner. He has set papers to elicit any misconceptions in her understanding and works through problems, building confidence and skill. We would highly recommend Alan as a tutor.

Alan stepped in at very short notice to help my daughter out with some A Level maths topics she had missed out on, and is doing a great job in filling in the gaps and more importantly helping with understanding.
