Tutoring Experience

With 80+ reviews and a current feedback score of 4.74/5.00 along with (yet again) outstanding A level and GCSE results for 2024.. my experience in tuition extends to over 15 years.

My academic career started at the University of Warwick studying Chemistry for which I received a 2:1 hons degree.

I then undertook an Optometry degree at the University of Bradford, qualifying as an optician. Additionally, I have researched, under scholarship, theoretical biology at the University of York and have studied cutting edge quantum information science at the University Leeds with my final project in nano technology.

Since becoming a father, leaving academic study and embarking on a career as a tutor, I again have the privilege of sharing the educational experience with a new generation of enquiring minds.

My tutorials are accordingly tailored to the suit uniqueness of my students character abilities and ambitions.

In maths all my students scored between A* and A, in physics which is unquestionably the hardest A level, all tutees scored between A and B and all my chemistry passed.. the majority of whom scored the A grade

All grained access to their 1st or 2nd choice universities. Subjects to be studied ranging from medicine to mathematical engineering.

Additionally my gcse results 2024 have been nothing short of exceptional. With 100% pass rate and 100% of all target grades achieved.

My A level students have gone on to study undergraduate degrees (often undergrad masters) in Medicine, Astrophysics, Computer Science, Physics, Mathematics, Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering, Bio-medical Science, Bio-medical Engineering, Biochemistry, Optometry, Dentistry, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Psychology, Philosophy, Architecture, Accounting and Finance, and even Law.

Many of my students have gone to study at the country’s most prestigious universities including Oxford, Bath, Durham, York, Warwick, Exeter, Loughborough, Manchester, Nottingham, Bristol and Kings College London.

Tutoring Approach

My services are for anyone, regardless of ability, age or academic level, wanting to advance their critical thinking and understanding. I have taught from primary through to university level, with all the individual ambitions, needs and temperaments, and am proud of the results achieved with all my students whatever their learning objectives.

Private tutoring underpins and reinforces curriculum education with a more informal and focussed approach. This provides an opportunity for students to explore subjects on their terms, drawing on passions, interests and skills in a holistic environment that maximises their abilities and enjoyment of learning.

Having the freedom to explore subjects laterally in tutorials, drawing from multiple disciplines, enables me to provide context to subject matter, making abstract concepts relatable and relevant. Every student is an individual and deserves an educational experience built around them.

Academic success is rarely born solely from intellect alone, being able to demonstrate ones full capabilities under exam conditions, whilst presenting or communicating with peers requires a robust mindset, confidence and humility. Developing temperament, revision and exam technique within supportive academic framework is key to cultivating rounded, involved and most importantly happy students.

All my prices are inline with Frist Tutors national averages.

However I do appreciate times can be challenging and am willing to negotiate prices accordingly.

I also offer discount when paid in blocks of 5 or 10 hour

No missed or cancelled tutorial is ever charged. Regardless of reason or time of cancellation.
