I will help you develop your schema (your own mental model) of the concepts of physics covered by the GCSE specification, how they are linked and coach you in exam techniques that will help you access examination questions and improve your outcomes.
Lesson format and content will vary dependent on the topic being studied or revised.
My preference is to align with topics that you are currently studying in your physics lessons at school, as well as your revision plan for topics studied in previous school years/terms.
Lessons will variously be comprised of discussions, explanations, modelling of techniques and approaches, active self-assessment of questions that have been attempted. I will always attempt to show you how to find an answer rather than give the answer to you. You will get lots of stuff wrong: that’s ok - that’s where the best learning happens (when we unpick mistakes or misunderstandings or misconceptions).
What might you want to know about me as your tutor? I used to be a Chartered Engineer working for companies like Siemens and ABB. I changed careers and trained to be a teacher 9 years ago after spending the previous 10 years as a school governor and eventually Chair of Governors working with members of the school leadership team who were also physics teachers and who inspired me to change my career, train as a teacher and spend more of my time making a real difference to the outcomes and future prospects of young people in my community.
