William

My name is William, a professional tutor with over 12 years experience teaching Sciences and Maths (11-18) having tutored 50+ students. I have a PhD in Physics from the University of Cambridge, and degrees in Physics/Computer Science and Marine Engineering from the University of Birmingham and Lancaster respectively. I have an excellent knowledge of all UK exam boards.

I specialise in boosting confidence, enjoyment, and grades and particularly thrive in helping students realise their own potential and ability.

(I have had some parents ask about my degree certificate for my PhD from Cambridge which shows as missing. This is missing as I have delayed my graduation date to allow family to attend)

Tutoring Experience

Tutored A-level and GCSE physics, biology, chemistry and maths for 12 years. Tutored A-level and GCSE computer science for 3 years.

Tutoring Approach

Over my years of teaching I have refined my approach which can be summarised quite concisely by four foundations.

1. Reliability and flexibility: A professional and effective tutor must be consistent and reliable. I pride myself on this, and understand it's importance for both the student and the parent. Conversely, I am also very flexible to accommodate changes.
2. Communication: I encourage good communication with both the student and parent to ensure we are continuing on the right track and I am fully up to date with their school/college progress.
3. Enjoyment: I aim to make the lessons engaging and work hard to increase the students enjoyment of the subject.
4. Exam practice: I have tried and tested techniques that improve the student's ability to answer exam questions concisely and correctly.

In addition to all of the above, I enjoy the opportunity to provide mentorship and careers advice, assisting with subject choice and applications to university/further education.
