About Robert

Hi! I'm Rob. I'm a professional tutor & PhD researcher in theoretical physics. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Physics, and a Master's degree in Theoretical Physics both from the University of Oxford. I am currently coming towards the end of my PhD in Theoretical Physics from the University of Sussex. I have spent time at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), working in a plasma physics lab on a diagnostic to measure ion and neutral flows in the Plasma Krystal-4 (PK-4) experiment on the International Space Station. Also at Caltech, I have worked in the Department of Mathematics on a High Energy Physics Theory project in the AdS/CFT correspondence. Most recently, I have spent a year and a half at the University of California, Riverside as a doctoral research scholar - continuing my PhD research in theoretical particle physics (specifically, models of the Universe involving warped extra dimensions). I have over 7 years of experience teaching students (mostly) between the ages of 6 and 18. Ranging from Gifted and Talented primary school tuition, to A Level / IB & Oxbridge Physics / Maths / Engineering admissions preparation, mature students looking to get back into education, and leading tutorials & group classes at Universities in the UK and the US. Learning more about the Universe every day is what gets me up in the morning! Being able to share the wonders of science and maths with others only adds to this joy! You can view some of my outreach / science communication activities here: (concealed information) You can also read more about me and my teaching activities on my company website: (concealed information) *Select Testimonials* -Mother of High School Senior (Elite College Admissions Mentoring, High School Maths & Physics)- "Our son has been tutored by Rob for the last 8 months. We have been absolutely delighted by his professionalism, knowledge and teaching ability and cannot praise him enough. First, we have a clear lesson timetable and though we try not to change times, Rob has been extremely understanding when we have needed to reschedule. Our son demands a lot from his tutors, and Rob is able to meet him at his current level and push him further. After every tutorial, our son is buzzing with new thoughts, and keen to talk through everything they covered (though Physics is a mystery to me). Rob’s lessons are extremely well organized, and he sends through a lesson overview after each session. Rob seems to have a natural ability as a teacher and a sensitivity to my son’s needs that many more experienced teachers have not managed. Rob is accessible and easy to communicate with- both to parents and to tutees. Knowledgeable, wise, interesting and kind are words used by my son to describe Rob. Many thanks to you!" -High School Senior (Elite College Admissions Mentoring, High School Maths & Physics)- "I cannot express my immense gratitude at having found Robert. He exhibits a patient, munificent and erudite approach toward tutoring, and truly it would seem that nothing is too much trouble to ask. He is very diligent when listening to areas I struggled with or showed difficulty toward. However, his concise and clear explanations have made these more complicated topics some of my favorite areas of study within physics and mathematics, for example when approaching problems concerning electrostatics or simple harmonic motion. Furthermore, Rob was a remarkable help when preparing for the PAT test in addition to other assessments in physics and mathematics for my A-Levels. Through his help and support I was able to secure offers to study physics at a myriad of leading universities and even achieved an A* in both my Physics and Mathematics A-Levels. I honestly would have been lost without his guidance. I have had lessons with several physics tutors who truly do not compare. I can candidly claim that Robert’s method of teaching is exemplary in that you not only understand the material covered at the time, but continue to do so long after and then are able to apply it to a diverse range of other scenarios. His passion and enthusiasm for the subject are unrivaled which is evident in his incredible breadth of knowledge that is transferred directly to his teaching. Following our lessons my fascination for physics was enormously expanded and inspired me to approach more challenging problems independently. I cannot recommend him highly enough!" -High School Senior (Elite College Admissions Mentoring, High School Maths & Physics) "Robert has been very thorough and patient. His teaching style is very engaging and boosted my confidence in tackling complex areas of Further maths and Physics which I had struggled with. Rob started tutoring me for PAT lessons and his approach was extremely effective and I passed! Rob also coached for my Imperial College and Oxford Interviews. I have now been made an offer which I am super delighted about. I will highly recommend Robert +++++ Thank you so much Rob!"

About the lesson

My teaching methodology is extremely flexible, depending on the student's learning style. In these sessions, we will review content chosen by you, and work through exam style questions together. I will set questions at the end of each session for you to complete before the next one, where we will discuss them and I will provide solutions. Of course, if you have a preference for doing things differently (e.g. if you just want to cover exam questions, or cover specific points from multiple areas of the syllabus) that is perfectly fine too!
