I hold a PhD in Physics from the University of Warwick and worked in experimental physics research for a number of years at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory’s neutron source near Oxford. After teaching Mathematics and Physics in Zimbabwe for Voluntary Service Overseas, I qualified as a science teacher in 2000. I have taught Mathematics and Physics up to A-level and IB HL level in international schools in the Middle East, Africa and Europe. I am an examiner for the IB board and have sponsored a young man through high school and university in Swaziland and who graduated this year with a BA in Accounting and Commerce.
Since 2013, I have been a full-time private tutor in both Mathematics and Physics. I have taught students with a wide range of abilities with notable success, including helping many students achieve the necessary grades to enter their desired Personal Math Tutor Online school or university. I am able to adapt his teaching to the level of the student, seek out useful resources and motivate students. In 2014, I helped a Russian student gain entrance to Harrow School. I read more have also helped a student gain the necessary qualifications to enter Cambridge University as well as two special needs students pass Functional Skills mathematics. I have made it possible for several failing GCSE students to pass mathematics and for many A-level and IB students to gain higher grades than they were expecting. I have taught a wide range of students from diverse cultural and economic backgrounds. This is a small selection of my recent successes. I am interested in development issues in Southern Africa. I am a keen long-distance runner, recently completing a single-stage 100 km race in Northumbria.
