Tutoring Physics - My Credentials

GCSE and A Level Physics Teaching Qualifications and Experience

I am a qualified teacher, having studied for my PGCE with QTS (Qualified Teaching Status) at the University of Buckingham. I worked full-time at the London day school, Alleyn’s, for 14 years and trained at Langley Park Boys School during my first year. Both schools were amazing places to work and gave me a huge amount of opportunity to work with a range of students and use a raft of teaching methodologies as well as coming up with a variety of ways to tackle misconceptions and make learning Physics seem easy. My biggest compliment was when a parent contacted the school to ask if I could make my lessons harder. Physics isn’t a difficult subject if you find the right way to approach it and finding the right person or resource to guide you.

Teaching Physics Academic Qualifications

I have grown up surrounded by science and have gained A grades in my GCSE, A Level, and 1st in my degree from Bristol University. I enjoy unpicking misconceptions to support students who need help accessing these ideas. I equally enjoy supporting students who find science and maths second nature, but then need a structure so they can communicate it with clarity.

Physics GCSE and A Level Examining Experience

In addition to my teaching roles, I continue to examine externally, this year I am examining A Level Physics for the Edexcel board. In other years I have examined for AQA and GCSE. This experience keeps me up to date with educational standards. It also gives invaluable insights into exam criteria so I can fully support my students in achieving their goals.
