About me

A brief summary of my formal qualifications:

  • Masters degree in Physics from Cambridge University (Clare College)

  • Postgraduate Diploma in Computer Science from Cambridge University (Clare College)

  • PGCE (South Bank University)

  • Current DBS certificate (Enhanced)

I am a fully qualified teacher with over 25 years’ teaching experience. I started teaching at Abingdon School and was Head of Physics at Reading Blue Coat School from 1997 to 2017 after which I stood back from full-time teaching so I could concentrate, amongst other things, on one-to-one Physics tuition. Over my teaching career I have taught both AQA and OCR A-level physics syllabi. I have also built up a wealth of experience in helping students across a wide range of abilities.

​​

I am currently an A-Level Physics examination marker for OCR.

​

I have been tutoring for over ten years and have also run revision courses in the school holidays. Although I have tutored students for GCSE and Common Entrance examinations, I now only tutor A-level Physics.​

"David is a highly experienced, respected and professional teacher. He has a proven track record of getting the very best out of his students and is effective in both challenging the brightest students and supporting those who find Physics more difficult. Students find his lessons enjoyable, rewarding and interesting and they have confidence in his excellent subject knowledge."
