I hold a BSc in Physics from Imperial College, London, having achieved A*’s across the board in GCSEs and A-Levels.

In my spare time I like to forage and play multiple musical instruments as well as being an ultra-endurance athlete who has thru-hiked the length of New Zealand, Ireland and Wales. I am currently spearfishing from a cabin in Cornwall.

Availability: Full time tutor so available most of the time. Evenings are generally quite busy and during the day is mostly free.

Willing to travel: 50 miles

Experience: I have 5 years’ experience tutoring a wide range of students, including SEN pupils, with a fantastic record of helping them to achieve their grades and goals and smash their expectations. My most recent student increased his Maths score from 60% to 85% and his Physics score from 65% to 80%, with 7.5 hours of lessons.

I`ve been told I offer a calm persona alongside an injection of energy and fun to build a one-to-one rapport and foster engagement, enthusiasm and confidence. I encourage laughter and never shout or belittle students. My approach is tailored to individuals, identifying where marks are being dropped, addressing common exam mistakes and employing repetition and past paper practice.

I`ve supported students in endeavours varying from Physics Olympiads, Python coding, and applications to Oxford University, and all leave with motivation and self-management skills alongside grades some thought unachievable before starting tuition.
