Andrew's profile picture

Information About Andrew:


Personal Description:

Active family man, who will travel to venues (within reason!)
Prefer to hold 1:1 sessions but will work with groups of pupils too.
Very enthusiastic and always think outside the box, if you are stuck with an idea or principle I may have an alternative model or way to explain it!



Teaching Experience:

12 years of teaching Physics and Science
7 Years as Head of Physics in a very successful school in cardiff

I am currently tutoring in the following subjects:
OCR 21st Century Science Core and Additional GCSE
OCR Gateway Science Core and Additional GCSE
AQA Core and Additional GCSE
WJEC Core, Additional and Seperate Science GCSE
WJEC, OCR and AQA Maths GCSE
OCR AS and A2 level Physics
WJEC AS Level Chemistry
WJEC AS/A2 Level Physics
AQA AS/A2 Physics
Many of my students are currently in year 11 - so by June I will free up a lot more time!



Tutoring Approach:

Will discuss first with the pupil about areas of difficulty
Use syllabus and extract the problems that the student needs to understand
Devise a plan/series of lessons to highlight and focus on the problem in hand, with setting small problems and exercises to be completed. Will also expect the pupil to obtain past papers and bring home material from school to aid the process of discussion.
Hopefully within a few sessions the major problems will be ironed out and confidence will be improved.
