Super Tutor

Simon is one of our best Physics tutors. High-quality profile, qualifications verified, organised and responsive to lesson requests, and appreciated by their students.

About Simon

I have taught physics for over 22 years, mostly at two top-rated schools, Tiffin Boys’ in Kingston and The Judd School in Tonbridge, where I was Head of Physics, and where I gained a Physics Teacher Award from the Institute of Physics. I now full time as a physics specialist tutor online.
I have a BSc Honours degree in Applied Physics, a Diploma in Industrial Studies, Qualified Teacher Status, Chartered London Teacher Status and am a Fellow of the College of Teachers. I have a current full DBS certificate.

About the lesson

The lessons I provide are carefully tailored to meet the objectives of the student – these may be quite wide-ranging or focus on specific discrete topics. I can assess ability, areas of subject knowledge weakness, how each student best learns and how to build confidence and understanding. My lessons will include theory and explanation, contextual reference, worked examples and help with specific questions. Any notes produced by me during the lesson will be left with the student. The duration will be one hour, and if part of a series of lessons, will begin with a recap and appraisal of the previous lesson. I can cover all aspects of GCSE and A-level Physics (including guidance for the A-level practical qualification) for AQA, Edexcel, IB and most other boards. I would be just as delighted to raise a student from a level 3 grade to a 4, as I would an 8 to a 9; I am happy to assist at all abilities. I am also qualified and experienced in providing teacher training for the Physics elements of KS3 and KS4 science teaching and can support and refresh Biology and Chemistry teachers with any areas of Physics they are not fully confident with (and help answer some of those tricky questions from students!).

Perfect! We have had three sessions with Simon and it’s evident that a key strength is that he takes the time to get to know his students. Feedback has been that his teaching is thorough - in fact rigorous which has been very helpful!. His sessions have a very good balance of conceptual and worked examples focusing not only on “answering the question” but answering the question in a way to gain maximum marks in an exam context. Great teaching and great at “nudging” your child in the right direction in terms of confidence and adopting more rigour independently. Thumbs up!

Simon has been a great tutor for my son who will be entering Upper Sixth. Simon is disciplined and patient in his approach to tutoring and his extensive years of teaching (not just tutoring) are evident. The feedback he provided on a personal level for my son was spot on - I felt he got to know how his brain ticks in a very short time! He provided lots of useful hints and tips on the subject and was always very easy to communicate with. We were very lucky to find Simon and so I happily recommend.
