Lewis Wilson

My lessons are designed to be engaging, inclusive and tailored to the individual needs, abilities and goals of each student. I aim to create a supportive and enjoyable learning environment where students feel comfortable, motivated and confident in their ability to improve.

I graduated from the University of Edinburgh with First-Class Honours in Physical Education and am currently studying an MSc in Sport and Exercise, specialising in Strength and Conditioning. I also hold qualifications in Personal Training, Football Coaching and Swimming Teaching.

My experience includes teaching Physical Education across primary and secondary schools, coaching football in academy and community settings, delivering swimming lessons and teaching internationally. Alongside this, my experience playing semi-professional football has provided me with valuable practical knowledge of training, performance and athlete development.

My lessons typically begin by identifying the student’s current ability, previous experience and personal objectives. From there, I structure sessions around progressive activities, practical demonstrations, constructive feedback and opportunities to apply newly developed skills. I adapt my teaching methods to suit different ages, learning styles and confidence levels, ensuring that every student feels appropriately challenged and supported.

I believe effective teaching goes beyond simply delivering instructions. I encourage active participation, questioning, problem-solving and independent learning to help students understand not only how to perform skills, but why they are important.

Above all, I pride myself on being approachable, enthusiastic and patient, building positive relationships that help students develop their confidence, competence and enjoyment of physical activity.
