Hello! I'm a recent architecture graduate, and I want to help your child achieve their potential and stimulate a positive attitude towards learning. It's as simple as that.
In my opinion, the root of successful tuition consists of three factors: the attention the tutor pays to the student's learning methods, the passion the tutor has for the subject and the enjoyment the tutor receives from the act of teaching.
My teaching methods hinge on the recognition that every child is unique. There is no "one size fits all" solution to learning, and hence I establish as quickly as possible which of the various techniques works best for my students and then apply the relevant tutoring methods. As well as maximising academic progress, this approach gives you more value for money.
I know that a concept fully understood and a method embedded and consolidated through practice will arm your child with the confidence and skills they need to tackle any question or problem successfully. I also know that the key to success is effective study skills and habits. I can show your child how to organise their learning into easy to revise chunks that work for them. This is a skill that will carry them through their whole education.
Anyone who knows me well knows my three main passions to be architecture, Spanish and football (because I rarely talk about anything else!). Unfortunately Tutor House don't offer football coaching, so instead I've opted to tutor the beautifully logical language of Spanish and the disciplines that underpin architecture: maths and physics.
So, what makes me qualified to teach these subjects? As shown by my qualifications, I hold an A grade in both maths and physics A-Level with AQA and OCR, respectively. This knowledge is put to use daily in my job as an architectural assistant, where we use calculation and scientific reasoning to create imaginative, effective and innovative architecture that pushes materials to their physical limits. I studied Spanish up to AS-Level, receiving an A grade, and lived in Spain for 9 months last year working as an English teacher. Immersing myself in the language allowed me to learn it from a new, colloquial perspective, broadening my capability.
Being the son of a teacher, I've always been close to the profession, and have learnt a lot about the process of teaching and learning through discussion with and observation of my mother. I get a sense of happiness and pride from helping people do things that they couldn't do before, so have always sought out opportunities to teach.
In Spain I worked in a primary school, teaching ages 4-12 a range of subjects in the students' non-native English. It was incredibly satisfying to see how far they progressed month to month, and when I left to return to England it was sad to say goodbye; we'd built up quite the relationship. In addition I tutored young adults individually to improve their English.
On returning home I have been involved in a term long programme for the organisation Archimake, which teaches children architectural design skills and inspires confidence in their creative ability.
My other relevant experience includes childcare and mentoring. My positive and energetic character allowed me to build up a rapport with the children that I minded in their own homes, out and about and on their family holidays abroad. I strove to be an outstanding and trusted role model, whilst allowing them to have fun. At university I was a peer mentor to architecture students in the year below me. My role was to ensure their mental wellbeing as they adapted to university life and the intense architecture degree.
Despite being a young tutor, my varied experience thus far has taught me a diverse range of skills and techniques that lend themselves to successful tutoring. I also think that my age makes me more relatable to students. In many cases I will understand and even remember the emotion behind their frustrations, allowing me to formulate a more considered and effective response. My attention to detail and thoughtful approach will provide your child with a considered tailor-made tutoring package. Meanwhile, my irrepressible passion for my chosen subjects coupled with a knowledge base formed by their intense study will facilitate productive and engaging tutoring. Finally, through my love of teaching I will try to inspire a fascination with learning in your child that will benefit them for the rest of their life. It's as simple as that.

Hi there! I have a MSc in theoretical physics at Imperial College. I graduated from the University of Bath in 2015 with a first class degree in Physics, and spent a year on placement working at a Laser facility in Oxford as part of my degree. Whilst undertaking my postgraduate studies I'm residing at my family home in St Johns Wood and am willing to travel far and wide to reach a wide range of tutees.
I grew up in London and attended Highgate School and UCS where I achieved 9 A/A* grades at GCSE and A-levels in Physics (A), Maths (A), and Economics (B). Whilst attending school I received some personal tuition, which was a great help and took vast amounts of pressure from my shoulders; allowing me to pursue extra-curricular activities. This was extraordinarily beneficial when it came to applying to University, and provided a solid base for me to chase my academic dream.
In my leisure time I like to spend time broadening my knowledge outside of physics, taking a keen interest in philosophy and literature; utilising the Imperial’s substantial offline and online resources to accommodate my interest. In my year off between secondary education and University, I traveled to China for two months to study Kung-Fu. Before heading out to the far east, I took a beginners course in mandarin so I could communicate with the locals, to make the experience more fulfilling and enjoyable. Although Physics is one of my main interests and the topic of discussion in most scenarios of my day-to-day life, I feel it is important to find some separation and pursue other areas of interest. Before damaging both my knees, a few years ago I formed a Sunday league football team with a few old friends that I help run. I am a keen film fan, an avid follower of the comedy circuit, and somewhat of a home chef.
Whilst studying in Bath I volunteered for a programme called 'Lab in a Lorry', an organisation I found through the university. They tour the country in a large mobile unit kitted-out with several experiments and interactive demonstrations to bring science and mathematics to pre-GCSE children with the aim of peaking their interest. It is a joint venture of the Institute of Physics and the Schlumberger Foundation. I was able to volunteer several times and was privileged to be able to teach a wide range of age groups, which was vital experience for me as a soft introduction to teaching.
During my time teaching I ran several practical demonstrations for the kids ranging from an introduction to fibre optics and their use in modern medicine and surgery, to an insight into polarisation of electromagnetic radiation and how it alters how we see our Sun. These experiences were extremely fulfilling, and encouraged me to become a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) ambassador whilst on placement in Oxford. This involved running several outreach programmes at local (and not so local) schools, with the intention of making science fun and more relevant to young children. Myself, accompanied by several other placement students, exposed scientific thinking and novel ideas to children of ages 6 to 12. Some of these activities included: telescopic observation of the moon, an insight into the specific electromagnetic dependent appearance of galaxies, the formation of stars and other stellar activities, as well as several other aeronautic and space based demos.
I began giving private tuition in 2015 and have expanded my client base tenfold since starting out. My students have seen vast improvement under my supervision, with an average grade jump of over two grade boundaries. I have taught students from GCSE level all the way up to final year university students.
The structure of my lessons is as follows: I will dedicate a third to one half of the allotted time to an overview of the method or theory that is to be covered in the session. The time dependence directly related to the difficulty and complexity of the subject at hand. This subset of time will be filled by an interactive slideshow covering the topic and basic examples of applications to everyday life. After this, I will introduce a few simpler example questions, that I will run through with my student in detail before handing the reigns over to them to answer multiple exam-style questions; for which I will give hints and review the necessary material before going through the method of the marker. This is a tried and tested successful technique.
Upon approach of the examination period, the tutoring sessions will change to entirely question and answer based conditioning exercises. These will be example questions taken from previous papers and my personal stash of textbooks and notes.
This method of teaching has worked extremely well with me over the last 10 years, and also with my previous tutees; and I have full faith that it will do wonders for future students too.

***Please confirm the times by messaging me as there is a technical issue on tutor house platform which shows the incorrect availability. I apologise for the inconvenience and I am trying to fix this issue asap. Please message me in the meantime, thank you so much and apologies again***
I am currently pursuing a PhD in Physics at University College London in Quantum Computing, Quantum Information.Prior to this, I have completed MSc in Applied Mathematics and Computing from Imperial College London and an undergraduate degree in Physics from King's College London. My academic journey through some of the UK’s top institutions has provided me with a strong and varied foundation in mathematics and the sciences, equipping me with in-depth knowledge and a solid grasp of these subjects.
At A-level, I studied Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Chemistry, and Physics, which formed the bedrock of my passion for STEM. Over time, I have developed a genuine enthusiasm for helping others achieve their academic goals, sharing both my expertise and my insights from personal experiences. My focus lies in online tutoring for A-level students in Physics, Mathematics, Computing, and Further Mathematics, and I am also available to assist with university entrance exams and assessments, including the Physics Aptitude Test (PAT), the Natural Sciences Admissions Assessment (NSAA), and the Engineering Admissions Assessment (ENGAA).
With over six years of tutoring experience, I have honed a teaching style that is flexible, supportive, and tailored to the individual needs of each student. As a tutor with an enhanced DBS check, I am fully certified to work with students and provide a safe, supportive learning environment. I offer both online sessions and, for those nearby, in-person tutoring at my home.
Over the years, I have developed a deep understanding of how to support students effectively through personalized learning. I prioritize identifying the learning style of each student—whether they are auditory, visual, kinesthetic, or intrapersonal learners—and adapting my methods to best suit them. By incorporating these techniques, I help students engage with the material in ways that resonate with them, which not only boosts their understanding but also builds confidence in their abilities.
Tutoring Experience
I have an enhanced DBS check and have been working as tutor for 6+ years.
My approach to tutoring is based on building a solid foundational understanding of each topic before advancing to exam-specific preparation. In our sessions, I start by ensuring that the core concepts are well-understood and that students have a thorough grounding in the subject matter. This may include revisiting fundamental principles and discussing topics in detail, so students develop a comprehensive understanding and can apply their knowledge to complex questions.
Once students are confident with the basics, I introduce exam material that progressively challenges them. This dual focus on fundamentals and application ensures that students not only understand the theory but also acquire the skills needed to excel in exams. I place strong emphasis on developing exam techniques, covering time management, question interpretation, and linking knowledge to answer questions accurately and with the appropriate level of detail.
In addition to A-level tutoring, I support students who are preparing for university entrance exams in STEM subjects, such as the PAT, NSAA, and ENGAA. With personal experience navigating competitive exams and applications, I offer insights into what these assessments entail and the most effective preparation strategies. I can also assist with personal statements, helping students highlight their strengths, achievements, and genuine interest in their chosen fields to make a compelling case for admission.
Currently, I am working on a website designed to help students prepare for A-level Physics and university entrance exams. Drawing from my own experiences and expertise, I aim to create an accessible platform with resources, practice questions, and guides that can support students in reaching their academic goals outside of tutoring sessions.
Tutoring Approach
I give online tuitions. I base my approach to tutoring after evaluating what type of learner they are, whether that is auditory, visual, kinaesthetic or an intrapersonal learner. I can tailor my teaching to meet their needs. Additionally, my teaching method involves providing a strong foundation on the topics first, then giving suitable exam material to further the understanding of the student, ensuring that they have the skills needed for the exams. I can go through the exam techniques in detail so they can link back what they have learnt to answer questions to appropriate detail.
My goal as a tutor is to inspire students and help them unlock their full potential, not only by improving their grades but by fostering a genuine interest in the subjects they study. I am committed to making learning a rewarding experience and guiding students towards academic success with tailored support, proven techniques, and a passionate approach to teaching.

My higher qualifications are in Theoretical Physics (M.Phys) at Swansea University and Cosmology (M.Sc) at the University of Sussex. I have experience with tutoring during my A-levels and have helped people with their homework over the years. Physics is an approach to understanding the world, rather than a body of knowledge, via mathematical models that utilise assumptions that are both simplifying and reasonable. It is this union of two rigorous disciplines, science and maths, that I find so compelling about physics as a subject.
I am offering to tutor students who are pursuing their A-level qualifications or equivalent in physics and maths. My lessons would supplement the material from school-based courses and progress seamlessly from what the student already knows. I am aware that self-directed learning is vital but can be time-consuming without any guidance. I've found that part of what makes this process so difficult is that many new concepts are often introduced together. It makes sense to focus on these ideas individually to clarify any source of confusion or misconceptions as they have applications in many areas of physics.
I would ask my student about areas they found difficult before the first coaching session when I would go over prepared hand-out sheets covering some of the core concepts. I would then move on to answering problems such as past paper questions. My approach would be tailored to the learning style of the student to assist in the process of understanding new ideas for them. I would also be happy to share additional tips that will help them both before and after their level 4 qualifications, including report writing, time management skills, exam preparation and how to best use the resources at their disposal. These ancillary skills are vital for any career in Science Technology Engineering Mathematics (STEM).

I am a graduate from Imperial College London and Westminster School with a master's degree in Mechanical Engineering MEng and have undertaken research at Imperial College London in the fields of green hydrogen and thermofluids. I also proofread scholarly articles and research journal papers for institutions such as ETH Zurich and Imperial College London.
I have tutored for approximately 5500 hours over eight years and during this period I have helped over fifty students gain entry to higher education, that are currently studying STEM subjects at top universities such as Oxford, Cambridge, and Imperial College. The vast majority have obtained A*s and As at A-Level. I also tutor several degree level students, five of which have just been awarded First Class and Upper Second Class honours in their respective subjects.
I find the process of improving a student’s understanding very rewarding and focus on a wholesome learning experience, always inviting my students to ask questions and attempt problems by themselves before I explain a solution and subsequently work through similar problems step-by-step until the content is grasped. The main emphasis in my lessons is to develop sound conceptual understanding, followed by fluency in answering practise questions, thus targeting excellent performance in exams. I also offer advice on personal statements and help with interview and admission test preparation, and am at your disposal throughout the week for any phone calls about homework problems, university applications, careers, and so on.
All this experience throughout has kept me aware of the challenges young learners face, the kindness, understanding, and dedication that lies in a good teacher, and the importance of tailoring communication and teaching styles to the needs of the particular student. On that note, finding a tutor who fits well with your requirements is never easy so do reach out to me for a short and free video chat so I can answer any questions you might have.
In my spare time I hike and compose music for film (I also teach music). Instruments that I play include cello, piano, guitar, and I also sing.
Please see below my qualifications and I look forward to meeting you!

I am a fully Qualified Secondary School Teacher (Dip. Ed. UNSW, Sydney Australia, 2011 - Science) and I am an accredited secondary school teacher in New South Wales, Australia. Over the last 15 years, I have been involved in classroom teaching (after 2019) and private tuition (2008-2019) in the areas of Mathematics, Physics and Statistics for Exam/College Preparation as well as University Level Courses. I have experience in the UK (GCSE/iGCSE & A-Levels - AQA, Edexcel, OCR exam boards), the International Baccalaureate curriculum in Physics (SL/HL) and Mathematics (SL/HL including the new curriculum), the Australian HSC (Year 11 & 12) School System as well as Oxbridge Admission tests (PAT/STEP/MAT/ENGAA). From the USA Curriculum, I am quite familiar with the AP AB and BC Calculus and AP Physics 1, 2, and C. I also have experience in the USA College/Universities Admission tests, such as the GRE Subject Tests (Physics and Mathematics) preparation as well as SAT and GMAT (Math/Quantitative/Analytic sections).
Employment Summary
I am currently a full-time Mathematics Specialist at ONCAMPUS, University of Southampton. ONCAMPUS teach pre-university programmes leading to a wide range of undergraduate and Master's degrees at leading universities across the UK, USA and mainland Europe.
My most recent assignment was as Physics Lecturer at the Immerse Education Summer Academic Program at Queens College, University of Cambridge. This is a pre-university programme designed to facilitate engaged and motivated students to explore their subject in greater depth, providing them with insight into what it is like to study advanced content within their subject area at Oxbridge Universities.
During the period from January to June of 2023, I was a Math and Physics teacher at Northridge School, Mexico City, Mexico (US curriculum). That assignment entailed both teaching in middle school (grades 7,8 ) and high school (grades 10, 11).
Prior to this position (academic year 2022-23), I was a Math Teacher at the program “Swiss Semester”, Zermatt Switzerland (following US curriculum) and prior to that, I was a Math Teacher at the University of Brighton International College (on-site) and Kaplan International College London (remote) (GCSE/iGCSE and A-Level curriculum).
Before these positions (academic years 2019-22) I was again a math teacher at the Swiss Semester, Zermatt Switzerland (on leave from Kaplan International College London), and I held a teaching position at the Department of Science and Engineering at Kaplan International College London, based at London Bridge, London, UK since August 2019 (GCSE/iGCSE and A-Level curriculum).
The program Swiss Semester takes place annually and its duration is only from September to December. Also both Kaplan International College London and University of Brighton College are part of the Kaplan group. Hence the above positions are part of contracts with just two employers.
Professional Experience
My position at Northridge School, Mexico, included teaching Mathematics at the Middle School (Grades 7 and 8) and High School (Grade 10) as well as High School Physics (Grade 11). The School follows a loose US curriculum. During my six-month tenure at the Northridge School in Mexico, I made significant contributions to the academic environment while facing challenges in terms of student discipline and the school's focus on religious/music and sports activities rather than academics. Despite my dedication and commitment to the role, I made the decision not to extend my contract due to the school's lack of an academically respectable position and my preference for a more balanced academic environment. Additionally, I found myself primarily teaching middle school, which did not align with my initial preferences. Overall, my experience at Northridge School provided valuable insights and reinforced my desire to pursue opportunities that align more closely with my professional goals and interests.
My previous position in the Swiss Semester entailed teaching math at the secondary level. The syllabus taught is mainly pre-calculus and Advanced Placement Calculus (also known as AP Calculus AB / BC) is a set of two distinct Advanced Placement Calculus courses and exams offered by the American nonprofit organization College Board. Swiss Semester is a coeducational program of academic, personal, and physical challenge for roughly fifty high school sophomores from the finest independent and public schools in the United States and beyond. Swiss Semester’s campus is Zermatt, Switzerland, an outdoor paradise that epitomizes the security, stability, healthfulness, and natural beauty for which Switzerland is renowned.
In regard to the previous teaching role at Kaplan International College London: This role included teaching Pre-Master’s students Statistics, and Foundation Physics, and Mathematics. During the academic year 2019-2020, I was the Pre-Master's Advanced Statistics Module (PM608) coordinator. The module consisted of two intakes: The September Cohort and the January Cohort respectively - The duration of each is 20 weeks apart from some extra 10 weeks where students have to participate in the "Active Learning Weeks" as required by Kaplan. Each Cohort consists of approximately 100 students. Teaching is done in smaller groups of 20-30 students in a collaborative, interactive, "inverted classroom" setup. Each group has three hours of teaching every week on the topic. Over this period, I was in charge of the teaching curriculum, exam preparation, and online and offline content development for this particular course. Apart from the A-Level math courses, I have several teaching hours related to A-Level Physics (equivalent to Year 11, 12 Australian HSC Physics). During this period I taught mostly face-to-face but given the circumstances, a small part of the instruction during the national lockdowns was done online.
Apart from the previous role, I am a part-time Private Tutor in Mathematics, Statistics, and Physics. A large part of my work is related to University Level tuition but also the last two grades of High School (exam preparation).
Teaching Approach
Obviously, apart from the context itself and the expertise in the related fields, there are other essential components of successful teaching like personality, enthusiasm, versatility, appreciation of the importance of outreach, and most important a relation of understanding between the lecturer and the students.
Apart from the previous, I think that it is crucial to provide students with a working knowledge of physical systems and to teach them problem-solving skills for building upon this knowledge. Teaching a person to think analytically is at the core of what a student should take away from any science or mathematics course. For students not majoring in physics/math, it is important to teach them how science affects their daily lives and how to make informed decisions about it based on the information available. For physics/math majors it is crucial to teach them the knowledge pertinent to their course of study and how scientists solve difficult problems using approximation, computational, and other quantitative methods. These important tools are invaluable to future researchers because they aid in the careful design of experiments and in determining the predictions of a model or theory. I would also strive to cover a range of topics in my courses. This would enable me to teach an array of different methods for approaching physical problems and to demonstrate how similar approaches can be applied to problems from disparate fields. Furthermore, being a theoretician, I am well suited to teach physics majors how to construct theories and models, to derive predictions from these models, and to test these predictions against empirical data they have collected from the literature or obtained in the laboratory.
From my experience, I learned the importance of engaging students through examples and of pitching material at a level that assumes intelligence but not necessarily knowledge, blending the known with the unknown in a combination that gives the student the feeling of possibility rather than that of impossibility that formal and impressive methods may impose. I would also enjoy teaching introductory physics courses. Although it is often challenging to teach introductory students, it is a challenge I thoroughly enjoy. Preparing lectures and solution sets forces me to communicate fundamental ideas in simple terms and to think deeply again about some of the most basic principles in physics and math.
During my graduate school period, I had the chance to become familiar with the system of tutorials that some of the British universities offer. This much more personalized system provides the opportunity of outside-of-the-classroom discussion and interaction which are a crucial part of the learning process. Many students who are reserved in class, ask excellent questions in smaller settings and thus, learn much more. I greatly value the instruction and mentorship I received while in college and feel strongly about providing quality education to current and future students.
In regards to teaching international students, I am aware and over the years I have used a number of strategies in order to make classroom management and lesson delivery more effective. For example, I always communicate classroom expectations and policies clearly from the beginning of the course. I always try to speak clearly and be concise in my instructions (verbal or written), provide vocabulary at the beginning of a new topic and allow students to use a dictionary and other equipment that would assist them in the learning process. I always encourage students to make use of office hours and make course materials available in print and on the electronic blackboard. Furthermore, I am trying to incorporate opportunities for collaborative learning. Over the years I have become a supporter of the “inverted classroom” approach, especially for the students that are used to a “lecture” type of teaching style or teachers that are distant and authoritative.

After graduating university I started to teach Physics in an institute which prepares children for national university entrance exams and secondary schools entrance exam. I both taught in the class and tutor during this period. I had students from the age of 12 to 19. That period taught me the needs of students who prepare for the exams. After this institution I worked at three schools which are all IB(International Baccalaureate) schools as IB Physics teacher. At these schools I taught IGCSE topics for pre IB classes as well. I worked as IB coordinator assistant in one of the schools. Since I have started to work at schools I have had students who study for international exams such as SAT, IB. I have also mastered A-Level topics.
I have lots of students who study or work all around the world. For example One of my students made me her idol and became a physics teacher. And this year she was accepted to Nanotechnology post graduate program in Germany. I am proud of her. All of my IB students were accepted different universities in Europe and USA with their predicted grades last year.
Everyone has different learning style. First 2 or 3 lessons I will discover your learning style. Then I’ll teach you according to your learning style. Some people need details. Some want to learn shortcuts. Others need proof. To conclude I differentiate the lesson according to your needs. I’ll lead you with the help of my experience.
I am both genial and patient person. These characteristics are really important while teaching. Because students should feel comforted to ask the things that they do not understand.

Are you looking for a physics GCSE tutor near me?
Physics is at the heart of scientific learning. It may be the least popular of its counterparts, but it appeals to those who want to combine physics with maths and other subjects in order to take the subject onto further education. Physics GCSE is the building block upon which you develop your understanding of the later topics and concepts.
A physics GCSE tutor can help get your grades up to where they need to be. If you are already thinking about taking physics beyond A-Level and further, you should see this as the opportunity to create a solid foundation of knowledge. Even if you aren't thinking ahead to the long term and physics isn't your passion, it's important not to let your weaker subjects pull down the average of your GCSE grades.
For the most part, GCSE’s are the gateway to which you can apply to apprenticeships, traineeships, and more. With competition high and limited places, it’s important to remember the impact of your grades and consider getting a tutor to help you perform to the best of your ability during the busy exam period. If you're someone who struggles with exam anxiety or lacks general confidence in this subject, then having 1:1 support from a physics tutor can really help. With personalised physics lessons, you can improve your learning and create a calmer atmosphere than in class, making steady progress.
With a physics tutor from Tutor House, you can rest assured that you are in the best hands before the GCSE physics exam.
