Profile

Experience, philosophy and approach.

ExperienceA-Level Physics teaching every year since 1991, with Cambridge International Physics since 2012 and recent 9702 classroom work.
Teaching philosophySerious Physics taught with patience and rigour—fostering curiosity through disciplined study and connecting conceptual understanding, mathematical representation and examination preparation.
Individual approachTime to listen, identify what is getting in the way and match explanation or challenge to the learner.
IndependenceStudents encouraged to examine their thinking, take responsibility and become less dependent on tuition over time.

Relational approach

Listening and appropriately tuned challenge

My wider professional background includes executive coaching, leadership development and psychotherapy. It informs how I work with students—particularly around confidence, independence, setbacks and learning—while the tuition itself remains firmly focused on Physics.

AI and education

Supporting thoughtful use

Workshops for teachers and a responsible approach with students: using AI to support learning without allowing it to replace reasoning, questioning or critical thinking.

One-to-one tuition
