I hold a PhD in theoretical physics from the University of Massachusetts (US) and have extensive experience teaching both physics and maths as a school teacher and university lecturer for numerous years.

My older son excelled in his A-levels, achieving 3 A*s in physics, maths, and further maths in 2022. Subsequently, my younger son attained outstanding results, securing 4 A*s in physics, chemistry, maths, and further maths in 2023. Currently, they are both enrolled in university in the UK, pursuing degrees in mechanical engineering.

Physics and maths are enthralling subjects, yet grasping their concepts can sometimes prove challenging for students. My aim is to provide you with a solid understanding of various topics within the DSE, A-level, or IB curriculum while enhancing your problem-solving skills for examinations.

Mastering physics and maths problems transcends mere equation memorization and numerical substitution. It involves discovering an elegant approach to articulate physical phenomena or processes and making accurate predictions. My aspiration is to ignite your passion for physics by delving into and appreciating the underlying principles of our elegant universe, from the interactions of fundamental particles to the mechanisms governing planetary orbits.

Through my lessons, I endeavor to bolster your confidence in physics and maths, enabling you to not only comprehend the subject matter but also navigate the intricacies of examinations, ultimately securing a commendable grade. Read less
