Private Maths and Physics Tutor in Muswell Hill

I have many years’ experience tutoring Maths, Physics and ICT, and have lectured in Electronics at what is now the University of Westminster). In addition to A-Levels and GCSE students, I have recently worked with a number of adults requiring Maths for their professional career or further studies (teacher training, post-grad Medicine etc), and needing to rebuild their Maths skills. I am patient, understand the learning process, and look to build on each student’s strengths to enable their fullest potential to be achieved. I do charge for travel time.

Tutoring Experience

I have taught at University level, and have tutored at GCSE, A-Level, and degree level for many years

Tutoring Approach

Hello, and welcome to my tutoring page! I'm a passionate and experienced tutor specializing in Maths, Physics, and Computer Science. With a solid academic background and a genuine love for teaching, I am committed to helping students unlock their full potential and achieve their academic goals.

I have 10 years, and more, of tutoring experience, guiding students through complex concepts, exam preparation, and problem-solving strategies. My approach is personalized to each student's learning style, ensuring that they not only grasp the content but also develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of the subjects.

In Maths, progress requires sound foundations. From calculus and algebra to mechanics, pure mathematics and statistics, I help students build a strong foundation in all aspects of Maths, ensuring they feel confident and well-prepared for exams.

Physics: Whether it's understanding Newton’s laws, electromagnetic theory, or particle physics, I make difficult physics concepts more accessible and help students improve their analytic and problem-solving skills for exam success.

Computer Science: I provide in-depth support for all aspects of Computer Science, including programming (Python, Visual Basic, Fortran and R), algorithms, data structures, and theory. My teaching helps students develop practical coding skills alongside theoretical knowledge.

Every student learns differently, so I take a personalized approach to each lesson, with this approach:
Clear Explanations: by breaking down complex concepts into digestible pieces and explaining them in an easy-to-understand way
Interactive Lessons: I encourage students to ask questions and actively participate in solving problems, making learning engaging and enjoyable.
Exam-Focused Strategies: I help students develop effective revision techniques and exam strategies, to ensuring they are ready for their exams.
Progress Tracking: With regular feedback and progress reports, students can see how they’re improving and where they need to focus their efforts.

Many of my students have achieved top grades and gained acceptance to prestigious universities, and I am committed to helping you achieve your academic goals too.

I offer both in-person and online lessons, flexible to your schedule. Whether you prefer a one-off session or ongoing tuition, I’m here to support your learning journey.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me (through this site), and we can discuss your needs and book a session.
