Why get a tutor?

You may be thinking of getting some extra help with A-level Physics for a variety of reasons:

  • Some students are struggling in school Physics lessons. Physics is a subject that needs solid foundations. If the basics are poorly understood whether through poor teaching, pupil absence or even lack of focus at a crucial time in the classroom, the effects can be far reaching. Concepts can easily become confused and the student is left with their confidence in tatters, not sure whether anything they write down is correct!

​

  • Some students have just had a nasty surprise in a school examination and need to get things back on track - perhaps with a series of intensive sessions over a holiday.

​

  • Some students are progressing reasonably well but would welcome a bit of extra support to maximize their grade in the A-level. Proper preparation, some examination technique tips and plenty of practice questions can make all the difference.

​​

Private tuition is often the most effective way to tackle these issues. In the classroom, teachers can only do so much as they have to pitch each lesson to many other students. They also have to keep an eye on finishing the course in time which sometimes forces them to move on to the next topic before everyone is ready. In a subject like Physics, this can spell disaster to those left behind.

​

Private tuition sessions are totally flexible and are tailored to the exact requirements of the student, so learning can be at a pace to suit them. This will rapidly improve confidence and levels of understanding.

​

Private tuition offers the benefit of undisrupted learning throughout an entire session. The student receives undivided attention and the opportunity to ask as many questions as they like, something which is not always possible in a classroom environment.

​

I am confident that I can offer private tuition to meet your son's or daughter's needs and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

"David has been tutoring our son for nearly six months and we are absolutely thrilled with the results. David has had years of experience teaching different personalities in the classroom and it really shows – he is brilliant at explaining things and has a wealth of material for learning and practising the different topics. His patience and thoroughness have really paid off. Thank you David: we couldn’t have done it without you!”
