Private Online Maths and Physics Tuition

The earlier you lay the foundation for Mathematics and Physics, the better your results will be when you need it most.

I have tutored Mathematics and Physics for primary and high school students for more than 34 years, which also included home-schooling students. I presently use various online platforms for our tutoring sessions, and am available from Monday to Friday.
I hold a current and valid Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) Certificate, which reflects my impeccable track record. This certification aligns perfectly with the stringent standards set by the United Kingdom's Disclosure and Barring Service. Removed

Tutoring Approach

TUTORING APPROACH

My approach centres around building a strong foundation and confidence in new and existing knowledge. I regularly review past question papers to solidify their understanding.

I make all relevant notes, past question papers, and mark schemes available for download. I provide continuous support during and between our tutoring sessions.

I tutor students from various countries, including the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Germany, Portugal, Taiwan, Singapore, South Africa, and Zimbabwe.

Our tutoring sessions will be via Skype, Zoom, Google Meet or Whereby.

ADVANTAGES OF ONLINE TUTORING
The main reasons why my students prefer online tutoring are:

  1. Elimination of travel time for both tutor and tutees.
  2. No geographical limitations, allowing access to tutoring from anywhere.
  3. Flexibility in scheduling tutoring sessions.
  4. Tutees choose a convenient time for their sessions.
  5. Familiarity with online technology for most tutees.
  6. Easy sharing of tutoring materials through online access.
  7. Effective use of screen-sharing features with dedicated tutoring software.
  8. Tutees can learn in a comfortable and familiar environment.
  9. Greater control over the pace of the session to match individual needs.
  10. Building confidence at a personalised pace.
  11. Option to record tutoring sessions for revision purposes.
  12. Lessons can be saved and shared as PDF documents for future reference.
  13. Reduced risk of exposure to illnesses such as viruses, colds, or flu.
