Patient science tutor with a focus on helping to develop practical skills (GCSE)

Advert description
Hi, my name is Jamie. Thanks for taking the time to look at my profile.

As a tutor, I take pride in my ability to offer support in a patient manner, understanding that everyone learns in a different way and that tailored support is necessary to help someone obtain their potential. I focus on helping people develop practical solutions that work for them - the best solution is not the one that the book teaches you, but the one that makes sense to you.

I am a qualified teacher, with my status registered with the Department of Education, and I hold a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE). My official subject specialism is science, with a sub specialisms in physics and mathematics. I have worked with, and been able to effectively support, a range of young people, from diverse backgrounds and with a variety of needs, both within and out with the classroom.

I graduated secondary school in Scotland, obtaining 4 A grade Advanced Highers (A Levels), specifically Maths, Physics, Biology and Chemistry, before going on to study an integrated Masters in Physics (MPhys) at the University of Edinburgh, where I obtained a first class degree with honours.

During my secondary and university education I gained experience tutoring other students in a variety of subjects, including successfully supporting a previous early school leaver to obtain suitable qualifications required to study for an undergraduate degree in nursing.

In 9 of the last 12 years, I worked as a software and infrastructure engineer, primarily within the setting of business to business consulting. This has allowed me to hone my mentoring skills - my role has frequently been centred around educating client engineers, including those with neurodivergent traits, and supporting the development of a client's business as they look to modernise and optimise their technological solutions.

If the above sounds appealing then I would love to have a chat to see if I could be a good fit for your needs.

Since using Jamie for my son he has significantly improved in his physics. Jamie’s teaching style is clear and well structured, making complex concepts easier to grasp.

Jamie has been tutoring my son in both A level physics and maths and has made such a positive impact on him. He is friendly, punctual and reliable. Jamie has the patience and skills to be able to break down course content into something more manageable. He has also helped my son with exam techniques which has aided my son in recent exams too which in turn has built his confidence further. Thank you!

Jamie is the only tutor I’ve have used for my daughter who is in year 11 & I didn’t feel that I needed to look elsewhere! He gives her confidence, discipline & structure with her learning! She managed to retain information he teaches her & she enjoys her sessions. You can really tell that he is enthusiastic about what he does & it’s great to see! Would highly recommend
