I am an experienced maths and science teacher with nearly 30 years experience. I have worked as a teacher and head of maths in sixth form college and I have a PhD in physical chemistry.

I believe in helping the student to understand fully what they are learning not just reciting information from memory. Not all students can recall everything they are told to memorise but understanding how something works or what causes something to happen is more readily remembered. Breaking down difficult subjects into more easily understood concepts in a progressive manner makes learning less stressful and more readily absorbed.

Everyone learns at different rates hence I am flexible with bookings and the amount of time required to cover what needs to be learned.

A bit of background about me: I completed my degree in chemistry in 1993 and began my PhD in physical chemistry the following year. Following completion of my PhD I continued to work in academic research in physical and materials chemistry until 2002 when I changed career to work in industry. I initially started off as a chemist in an analytical laboratory before working my way into senior management in the automotive, chemical and oil industries. My areas of industrial expertise also cover quality, environmental and health and safety auditing and management. I then moved into full time education and teaching in 2012 where I found my true vocation.

I first began tutoring nearly 30 years ago and I enjoyed it so much that I have maintained a small tuition business over the years prior to committing to a full time career in education. I also coach kayaking and cycling.

Availability: I am currently taking bookings for tuition for term times and school holidays. I have some weekend and evening availability.

Willing to travel: 5 miles

Experience: I have worked as Head of Mathematics in a local sixth form teaching GCSE and A level maths including further maths and I have also taught chemistry at GCSE and A level in school.
I have experience of teaching chemistry up to and including degree level and I have also supervised students up to and including PhD level in chemistry. I have also taught physics and maths to undergraduate science students.
I have a PhD in physical chemistry and an Honours degree in applied chemistry.
I am qualified with level 5 diploma in education and training and hold QTLS status.
