Information About Iain

Personal Description: If you are taking modules in January, I would be delighted to help. I have long experience of helping with those last minute worries. We can review troublesome topics and make sure they make sense. I can help you organise revision as well as walk through or thoroughly mark past papers.

If time is pressing, consider online tuition. I use a tablet PC as an interactive whiteboard with audio to teach over the net.

I am 44 years old and live in Hertford. After several years in the software industry, I returned to academia and am now completing my PhD in Theoretical Physics.

Tutoring Experience: I have very extensive experience of tutoring from primary to undergraduate level. I am an associate lecturer with the Open University and have been a volunteer helper in my son's primary school.

Tutoring Approach: If you are struggling with key concepts or find it hard to see how the different parts of the subject fit together, I will work carefully and patiently with you to help you overcome these obstacles and gain greater confidence.

Qualifications:
  • 2001: MSci Theoretical Physics (undergraduate + masters) - University College London (Masters)
  • 1987: BA Hons - University of Cambridge (Bachelors)

Availability: Weekends / Weekdays (all times)

From Scott (5/5): (A-Level Maths) Excellent!
I would recommend this tutor to anyone.
Good communicator and knowledgeable.

From Oliver (5/5): (A-Level Physics) Iain has been extremely helpful and supportive of our daughter Morwenna who is trying to improve her A'level physics grades. He is friendly, flexible in his arrangements and made her feel immediately at ease (which an attempt with a different organisation and tutor failed to do) and has helped her to work through past papers and improve her exam technique. His enthusiasm for his subjects is obvious and fingers crossed this boost to her confidence and understanding will bring results.

From Elisabeth (5/5): (GCSE Physics) My daughter has had three sessions with Iain (Physics GCSE) and has left each time completely enthused, telling us what she has learned all the way home. She says that everything is falling into place, wishes that her teachers at school could explain things as well and has asked if she can have extra sessions in the holidays!

From Vera (5/5): (GCSE Maths) My daughter seams to like they way he teaches. He also listens to her point of view

From Jan (5/5): (A-Level Maths) Victoria is happy with the progress so far and says that you are very good at explaining so that she can understand and feels much more positive about the subjects.

From Alice (5/5): (Primary Maths) Iain has been so supportive to my daughter and got her through a difficult time. Iain is great, really appraochable and had a great ability to connect to all ages. I know we may well keep going back to him as my daughter progresses through Secondary school and having this option gives me peace of mind. Thanks Iain

From Linda (5/5): (A-Level Physics) My son found his tuition with Iain very helpful and liked his teaching style. Iain was able to fit in time to suit my son's schedule and gave additional support outside of the tuition hours.

From Sally (5/5): (A-Level Physics) I am very happy to recommend Iain . My son went to him after having a succession of physics teachers at school (six in two terms!). Iain immediately recognised the gaps and inconsistency in the teaching, and put my son 'back on track' with AS physics. Iain is obviously extremely familiar with the curriculum, and has an impressively calm, quiet teaching manner. My son reports that he is 'very easy to get on with' and an 'excellent teacher'.

From Rosemary (5/5): (A-Level Maths) Iain is very polite, obliging and my son gets on well with him. He does not 'clock watch' and is happy to set and mark homework outside of the tutor time. My son's confidence has definitely increased.

From Elizabeth (5/5): (A-Level Physics) Although Charles has only had two sessions with Iain so far, he has really clicked with him. He responds to Charles' tuition requests with enthusiasm and has really helped Charles go back to basics with some topics to reinforce the principles of A Level Physics and Maths. Iain has already boosted Charles' confidence and has a very pleasant, gentle style of teaching.

From Lee (5/5): (A-Level Maths) Iain is very good with my son Lee. He is patient and explained maths in a way that my son can understand well. He gives good value for money. often running over his alloted time. Lee is very comfortable wiht Iain.

From Lynda (4/5): (GCSE Maths) We were really pleased with Iain's help with our daughter's maths. We found Iain to be a very good tutor and Hannah attained a grade B in her IGCSE maths which really surprised us - mainly her. She would never have managed it without his guidance and obvious thorough knowledge of the subject. Iain has a very pleasant manner, caring and being softly spoken Hannah was tutored in a very calm and clear way which was exactly what she needed. Maths started to make some sense to her after struggling with the subject since she started school so a total success for us. I would have no hesitation in recomming Iain.

My husband, Hannah and I wish him all the very best for the future.
