About Dean
I have spent six vibrant years inspiring more than 190 students to discover that physics is not an impossible subject but a fascinating way of understanding reality. I hold a first-class degree in physics and am currently pursuing doctoral research in condensed matter physics, which keeps my teaching grounded in cutting-edge science. My relatively short but intense teaching career has been marked by rapid success with students who previously struggled with physics concepts. I have worked with students across GCSE, A-level, and early undergraduate levels, and I am particularly effective with learners who need to rebuild their confidence. My students appreciate my patience, my willingness to explain the same concept in multiple ways, and my ability to connect abstract theory to tangible examples. I maintain a popular physics education blog where I explain current research in accessible language. In my spare time, I build physics demonstrations, participate in science outreach festivals, and play chess. I believe that the universe is inherently understandable, and my goal is to help every student experience the satisfaction of comprehending something that once seemed beyond their reach.

My physics teaching is passionate and conceptually anchored designed to make the invisible forces of the universe feel tangible and comprehensible. I begin every lesson with a surprising demonstration or thought experiment that creates curiosity and motivates students to seek understanding. For mechanics I use motion sensors video analysis and everyday examples from sports and transportation to build intuitive understanding of Newton's laws before formal mathematical treatment. Electromagnetism is taught through circuit building demonstrations of magnetic field patterns and analogies to fluid flow that make current voltage and resistance conceptually clear. Quantum physics is introduced through the historical development of the field showing students how experimental anomalies forced physicists to abandon classical assumptions. I emphasize the use of diagrams as thinking tools teaching students to construct free-body diagrams field line sketches and ray diagrams that make abstract concepts visual. Problem-solving is taught as a systematic process of physical modeling mathematical formulation solution and critical evaluation. For examination preparation I focus on precise terminology careful reading of command words and the construction of extended written responses.
