John

I have 17 years experience teaching Secondary Science/Physics in the UK state sector and a further 2 years at a leading international school in Bangkok. In the last few years I have worked as a freelance Teacher/Tutor in schools and privately.

I am a patient and adaptable tutor and more than willing to work with the specific needs of the tutee. I have a wealth of experience teaching in different schools and different specifications. I have taught the following subjects: Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Astronomy at GCSE Physics at IGCSE Physics, Environmental Science, Science in Society at AS Physics at A2 Physics at IB Higher level. I am also a qualified and experienced teacher of English as a Foreign Language.

Availability: Mostly after school and evenings during school term time.

Willing to travel: 10 miles

Experience: In my teaching experience I have had the opportunity to teach students of the highest calibre. Several of my A level students have achieved top grades in Physics and moved on to study at Oxford and Cambridge. I have taught in both selective and non-selective schools and encountered students from all backgrounds and with differing levels of ability. From this experience, I have developed a wide range of teaching strategies and resources. I have also had experience of working as a research scientist, and this informs my teaching of ‘how science works’, which I feel is a very valuable component of the science curriculum.
