Tutoring approach

One to One – focussing on parts of the curriculum where the student is having difficulty in understanding
Create a deep understanding and confidence in answering exam questions and being able to tackle new and unfamiliar problems. The student is encouraged to think and make new connections for themselves. One-to-one personal tuition has a unique value to students because of the ability to resolve the students’ personal barriers to learning in a way that lays the foundations for a deep and lasting understanding of the subject.

Depending on the student’s needs and learning style I encourage students to think for themselves, using real-world examples wherever possible. I start from topics the students are comfortable with and move gradually towards more complex areas as their confidence builds. I use questions and examples to check understanding continually. I don’t lecture to students or ask them to memorise things. Nor do I do the students’ homework for them!

 

Professional experience

I am currently tutoring A level Physics
Having obtained a 2:1 (Hons) in Pure and Applied Physics at Salford University (1976), I was then offered a PhD research project that I completed in 3 years to obtain a PhD in Low Temperature Physics, also at Salford University (1979). During my research I worked as a Private A level tutor for the children of a number of overseas Professors - teaching A level Physics and (through one of those students) was invited to teach Physics to A level students at a Ladies Grammar school in Manchester when their teacher became ill. I also taught A level Physics at the Trafford Park College of Further Education in Stretford, Manchester for 2 years while undertaking my research
In 1984, while working for British Petroleum I was sent on an MBA in Finance and International Business at the City University (London) Business School that I obtained in 1986
I have also worked at Sheffield Hallam University (2000 - 2004) in their Enterprise Centre and worked with Graduates and Post Graduate Students in Entrepreneurship and Business Enterprise
