What My Lessons Are Like

My teaching style is grounded in research into how students focus, retain information, and reliably retrieve knowledge under exam pressure. Every lesson is deliberately structured to prepare you for the exact type of thinking required in GCSE and A-level Physics exams — not just understanding content, but applying it accurately in unfamiliar situations.

1. Clear, direct teaching of key knowledge

I always begin by teaching the core concept using direct instruction. We will never play “guess what’s in Reece’s head” — that wastes time and builds anxiety.

I will tell you exactly what you need to know for your exam, using clear explanations, stories, and analogies I’ve refined over 10+ years of teaching. My goal is that you don’t just hear the idea — you understand it and remember it.

2. Diagnostic questioning before written work

Before we move anywhere near exam questions, I use targeted diagnostic questioning to check your understanding.

It isn’t fair to expect you to succeed in written questions if you can’t yet retrieve and explain the concept verbally. I will break ideas down into small, manageable chunks, guiding you with clues and prompts where needed.

If it’s clear something hasn’t stuck, I won’t push on — I’ll re-explain the concept in a different way until it does.

3. Exam-focused practice that drives grade improvement

Once you’ve demonstrated secure understanding, we move into carefully selected question sets.

This is the stage where grades genuinely change.
You’ll learn how to:
• Interpret exam questions accurately
• Identify the correct area of the specification
• Select and apply the right equation, proportionality, or theory
• Avoid common traps and examiner pitfalls

I help you automate this thinking process, so that in the exam it feels natural and controlled — not rushed or overwhelming.

4. Targeting weaknesses strategically

You will always have strengths and weaknesses — that’s normal.

What matters is how you respond to them. We will continually revisit the concepts you find most difficult, ensuring your weakest areas improve first. This is how students make the fastest and most reliable progress.

In short: my lessons are structured, calm, demanding, and supportive — designed to give you clarity, confidence, and the skills needed to excel when it matters most.
