Maths and Physics Tutoring in Exeter

I am an experienced maths tutor, physics tutor and science tutor, and a qualified secondary school maths and physics teacher.
I am Enhanced-DBS certified and have been a university physics professor since 2013. I was one of the lead governors at a successful specialist Mathematics A-level school, a Trustee at the Exeter Science Centre and father to four teenagers (two girls and two boys).

Tutoring Experience

I have been privately tutoring maths, physics and science at GCSE, Common-Entrance, A-level and degree level since 2005. I taught in secondary schools for several years before moving to higher education.
I was the Dean for Education at a large Russell Group university in the South West UK for seven years, specialising in Mathematics, Physics, Engineering and Computer Science education. I have an extensive track record of successful and effective physics, science and mathematics outreach work in and with schools across the UK.

Tutoring Approach

I have a calm, empathy-driven caring & supportive approach to tutoring.
Whether in face-to-face or online sessions, I use two-way conversations and discussion to encourage and support each student towards reaching their full potential.
I adapt each session's style for the specific needs of each tutee, to match their learning needs and engage them with each topic.

I work with each student, initially to identity any areas of weakness or strength, then to design a tailored approach.
Examples of tutorial content often include;
– Weekly help to embed specific homework themes,
– Weekly work towards broader subject understanding,
– Guided past paper question practise,
– Intensive topic revision and exam preparation.
