I understand that everyone’s needs are different.
I am flexible and try to make lessons as interactive as possible. If we were discussing the Doppler Effect, I might suggest a practical demonstration: using a speaker and running (mimicking the “nee-naw” of an ambulance) to show how the frequency of sound changes with the source’s relative velocity compared to a stationary observer.

I am always keen to teach students the “why” not just the “how”, and I champion the idea that you do not need to be a “natural” to succeed at a subject.

For exam success, I follow a 3 step approach:
- learn the content (ask as many questions as possible and feel comfortable around the material)
- open practice (let’s look at some example questions and see if there are any topics we should go over again)
- timed practice (to mimic the pressure of exam conditions)
