Stephanie Yardley

As an assistant professor, I bring university-level teaching experience and a PhD in physics to every lesson. I regularly supervise research students and communicate complex scientific concepts to public audiences, which means I'm skilled at explaining difficult ideas clearly, no matter your starting point.

Every student learns differently, so I tailor lessons to your needs. In our first session, I'll assess where you are, identify any gaps, and create a plan to achieve your goals. Whether you're preparing for exams, struggling with homework, or deepening your understanding.

An example lesson typically will include:
Quick review of material from previous lesson
Clear explanations of new concepts with examples
Practise problems to work through
Exam techniques and problem-solving strategies

I cover all maths and physics topics up to GCSE and A-level. I can work with your school textbooks or recommend appropriate resources depending on your level and exam board. For A-level students, I'm familiar with all major specifications (AQA, Edexcel, OCR, etc.). I also create custom problem sets and provide additional materials to supplement your learning. I offer online sessions, which work well with screen-sharing and digital whiteboards.

I create a supportive environment where questions are always welcome and mistakes are learning opportunities. My students consistently tell me they finally understand topics that previously felt impossible. I bring real-world context to abstract concepts, using examples from space physics research to make learning engaging. Whether you're aiming for top grades, building confidence, or catching up after falling behind, I'm here to help you succeed and maybe even enjoy the journey!
