Information About Philip:

Personal Description:

I entered teaching in 2004 as a second career, as I was eager for a change and new challenges. I originally studied Engineering at university, which is highly relevant to my choice to specialise in teaching Physics. I have spent the bulk of my career before teaching working in IT.

Teaching Experience:

2004 - 2008 - Wilson's School, Wallington, Surrey
I qualified as a teacher in 2004/2005 by completing a Graduate Training programme. Wilson's is a selective boys school, and I was used to teaching students who regularly achieved high grades. I have also completed placements at other, non-selective schools.

Tutoring Approach:

I believe that one-to-one tutoring can be very beneficial in many cases, as it encourages the student to focus in a way that may not always be possible in a classroom situation. I feel that time spent with the tutor should be used to maximum advantage, so I am more than prepared to set extra work for the pupil to do at home. I will then mark this work in my own time, and if necessary go through it with the student.

Qualifications:

• 2005 - Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
• 1984 - Degree in Mechanical Engineering (BA Hons) Cambridge University
