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. 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 Kim (5/5): (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.
