About Rory
Over thirteen years, I have guided more than 420 students through the rigorous demands of physics education toward successful careers in science and engineering. My background includes a master's degree in physics and professional engineering experience in the aerospace industry before I transitioned to full-time education. This combination of academic and industrial expertise allows me to answer the question that every physics student asks at some point: when will I ever use this? I have taught students preparing for GCSE, A-level, IB, and undergraduate physics examinations, and I have particular expertise in preparing students for engineering and physics admissions tests. My former students work in aerospace design, medical physics research, renewable energy, and quantitative finance. I am known for my systematic approach, my high standards, and my genuine investment in each student's long-term success. I maintain an extensive collection of engineering case studies, technical resources, and examination materials. Outside of teaching, I design and build technical hobby projects, mentor engineering students, and participate in professional engineering societies. I believe that physics provides the intellectual tools to understand and improve the world, and I am committed to helping every student master those tools.

My teaching philosophy is that physics is the foundation of all engineering and technology and should be taught with that practical relevance in mind. I structure lessons around the core principles of conservation laws field theories and quantum mechanics while constantly drawing connections to engineering applications medical technologies and astronomical discoveries. For astrophysics I use planetarium software telescope data and the latest research from space missions to make cosmic scales comprehensible. Engineering physics is taught through mechanics problems that mirror real structural electronic and materials challenges. Medical physics explores the physics of imaging radiotherapy and biomechanics showing students how physical principles save lives. I teach mathematical physics with an emphasis on dimensional analysis scaling arguments and order-of-magnitude estimation skills that are essential for professional scientists. Problem-solving is taught through a structured approach of physical modeling mathematical formulation solution and critical evaluation. I use a wide range of resources including simulation software video analysis tools and custom problem sets. For exam preparation I emphasize the precise use of physical terminology the clear presentation of derivations and the strategic allocation of time during assessments.
