As a qualified and experienced teacher and tutor, I am dedicated to helping students gain a sound understanding of Physics & now maths, both misunderstood! I am well organised and will building a positive rapport with all the students to makes lessons engaging and interactive.

I began teaching as found that there are too many misconceptions about Physics, it can be understood and you don’t need to be like a computer to enjoy like it! Passionate about physics and dedicated to planning a scheme tailored to students in order to help them achieve their desired grades. Calm and professional I have an excellent track record with past students who have a genuine appreciation for all the help and time given. I try to find a way to relate to each unique student, to build confidence and to develop their knowledge and understanding.

After teaching Physics for many years a natural development was to teach maths, more so that teach biology for me. I enjoyed it just as much as physics as many of the same issues were there, misconceptions, disbelief that they can do maths! I found helping students gain in confidence with their maths and develop the ability to tackle the problems was very rewarding.
