Personal Description:
I am a Chartered Electrical & Electronic engineer, also hold MSc in Aeronautical Engineering and PhD in Computing & Mathematical Sciences. I worked on few research projects for University of Hertfordshire and University of Greenwich. I also worked as a part time lecturer. Currently I am working as Engineering lecturer and teaching BTEC. Other than Maths and Physics, I can also teach engineering mechanics, engineering mathematics, electrical engineering, electronics, embedded systems, LabVIEW, C, Linux, VHDL and Matlab.
Tutoring Experience:
I have more than 10 years experience in teaching Maths and Physics. Particularly I helped the students to work towards their advance level exams (AQA, OCR, Edexcel and IB) and I helped them improving their basic understanding of the subject and problem solving skills.
Tutoring Approach:
I practice much less formal teaching which needs to know more about my students, their strength and weakness. First I spend some time to know about my students by asking questions. Then I spend lot of time and energy to prepare myself for effective teaching. I encourage the students to practice problem solving and critical thinking skill to arrive to a conclusion. I also provide notes, homework and past papers.
I can do home visits for extra fees depending on mileage. Please contact me for more details.

ThamoFrom Nicholas (5/5): (A-Level Physics) I had Thamo for A level physics and he was very good. Usually it would consist of going through questions in papers and if you didnt understand anything then he would go through the answer in the way the course would award the most marks. He is very knowledgeable and polite.
From Stella (/5): (University Mechanical Engineering) Just to say a big thank you to Thamo. He was available on short notice and very flexible. He had one-on-one lessons with my son and agreed to arrange Skype lessons when we had to travel out of the U.K. while my son was still preparing for his exams. We found this flexibility very helpful. In addition, he gave feedback on the lessons and progress made by my son, which enabled us to monitor his work.
From Matthew (/5): (University Mechanical Engineering) Thamo assisted me with my HNC in Mechanical Engineering in areas such as costing,man power and creating costing spreadsheets with excel.Thamo has a lot of time for students and can provide expertise in many areas.
Reply from Thamo: Thanks Matthew for you feedback.
From Philip (/5): (University Electronics / Electronic Engineering) Excellent help, understood everything I was looing for and helped me to do it in such a short space of time. Would definitely go to you again if I have any issues with my coursework once I am back at university.
From Stephen (/5): (University Electronics / Electronic Engineering) I tried different tutors before Thamo but honestly he is by far i could honestly say it was worth the money. I struggled with my maths quite abit and studying a hard degree maths was a crucial part. He was very patient and worked with me at my pace and made sure I understood the topic before moving on to the next. Highly recommended!!
Reply from Thamo: Thanks Stephen for your feedback.
From Kim (/5): (A-Level Maths) Thamo was able to commence tutoring at very short notice over several weekends prior to exam date. My Son, who has an ADHD diagnosis, reported feeling immediately at ease and comfortable with Thamos' approach to the tuition, and was able to explain in a way that was less confusing than the college lecturers approach. I have no hesitation in recommending Thamo and intend to continue with his support throughout the next academic year.
From Kelly (/5): (A-Level Physics) Excellence and reliable tutor who has helped my son immensely with his Phydics A Level. I would highly recommend him to others
From Oliver (/5): (GCSE Maths) Really good in helping me with my GCSE maths by going through the topics I had problems with. Very friendly and an overall good tutor.
From Denise (/5): (Secondary Entrance Exams) I was very impressed with Thamo as a tutor to prepare my daughter for her 11+ entrance exams. Thamo provided numerous test papers for homework and made good use of the tutoring sessions to provide feedback and develop my daughter's knowledge in her weakest areas. Thamo also sent reviews after marking the papers which was really helpful for my daughters revision. I will be happy to use Thamo again as I feel that my daughter has really benefitted from the tutoring sessions and would recommend him to anyone considering using an online tutor for maths/entrance exams.
Reply from Thamo: Thanks for the feedback Denise.
From Shusmita (/5): (A-Level Physics) Thamo has been great help for A2 Physics. Although I didn't have that many lessons with him I feel as thoughIve learnt a lot of techniques I can use to answer exam questions that I didn't know about before. I was struggling with the concepts of different topics and Thamo did a great job at breaking it down for me to understand fully. He seems to have an extensive knowledge in Physics and whatever questions I threw at him he seemed to know the answer to. Thanks so much Thamo! Hopefully we can still keep in contact for future tutoring sessions nearer the exam period!
Reply from Thamo: Dear Shusmita
Thank you for the feedback. I am more than willing to help you in future.
Kind regards
Thamo

From Yuko (/5): (A-Level Physics) He is a very good tutor who can explains why rather than just giving a formula to work with.
He can also teach math and that is helpful.
