University Physics Tutors & University Physics Tuition

in the subject, trying harder than they would otherwise do to solve problems (increasing what psychologists call their 'self-efficacy' in the subject). Applicable in all these cases is the idea that above all these subjects are principally about what you can DO, not what you know and as in learning how to do anything, there's no substitute for being shown how to do it and then doing it a few times for it to start...

or so is economic theory, both micro and macro economic. I have also done a lot of private tuition of A-levels for all of the major examining boards. I have often got this work from referral of satisfied customers. I have a relaxed and friendly tutoring style. I usually find students learn best by working through questions or examples, but I am also happy provide teaching of entire subjects from scratch. So if you're having...

will focus on the setting and achievement of goals with a structured study plan. I will also supply relevant course handouts and reading material where possible. My experience with students, over the last 13 years, has lead me to believe that most students when taught under the right conditions can learn the required material in a very short time. This can be done by applying the concepts of the theory to every day situations, with...

intend for my students to gain a solid foundation and an interest in their subject, and to develop their own revision skills so that they can improve their capacity for independent learning in the future - it isn't just about passing exams, it's about nurturing an interest the subject. I believe that the best way to learn is to enjoy learning, and the best way to enjoy learning is to learn things which are inspiring...

student outside of tutorials. This also helps to carefully assess knowledge and give them a much clearer understanding. Working through problem solving, examination techniques and confidence building exercises, I can improve a students' performance in any exam. Ultimately driving students towards their best while making the learning process fun, enjoyable and inspirational. How online tutorials work: Tutorials online are conducted over Skype or FaceTime using Scribbler. This means students can see me and talk to...

exam board requirements for GCSE and A-level, as well as a good understanding of what different schools and universities look for in their entrance exams. My aim is to help students become self-sufficient. I will not simply show a student how to get the required answer, but teach them how to think through problems so that they can apply their knowledge to different situations. My approach varies depending on the student. For younger students I...

of a particular type of problem and providing a written solution to a sample question for revision purposes. The next step is usually to help them as they try the method themselves with similar questions, until they are confident enough to do it without any input from me. Extra-curricular work can be assigned if required/desired, and this would usually consist of just a few carefully-selected exam problems, emphasising content over volume so as not to...

short experiments explaining the phenomena and I tend to encourage students to try them by themselves. I am usually trying to sensitively explain the matter of the class. If it comes to mathematics and theoretical physics, I am trying to explain everything step by step with plenty of examples going to a point when person can handle some exercises by herself/himself. I carry and bring a lot of useful materials and supply them either in...

aware of the need for students to have a confidence with what they are studying, I believe that for a student to fully master the subject they are learning, it is very helpful for them to acquire this confidence. I have endeavoured to inspire this confidence in students as a prerequisite to approaching learning. This process is important, from this position the student can approach learning with the view to actively attempt to master a...
