Tom Hartley

I have always had a passion for teaching others subjects that I myself am passionate about. Since University I have, in some capacity, been involved with STEM workshops, focus groups, or mentoring schemes, which remains to this day.

Whilst I have been lucky to delve further into the world of engineering, in both breadth and depth, the core elements of maths and physics have always been my strongest subjects.

I was lucky that during my school years, I had great teachers and a brilliant support system to help me through the difficult time of GCSEs and A-Levels. I would love nothing more than to repay that kindness and offer my services as a tutor.

I am a true believer in bringing academic skills and techniques to life in order to best understand and tackle future problems within the subject. Having both studied and applied teaching techniques to previous students, I pride myself on being able to identify which form of learning works best.

A lesson will usually last 1-2 hours depending on the content we will be working through. The first session will be to understand what aspects of the subject(s) they understand or would like to focus on, followed by time to best identify how they learn best, allowing me to tailor the tutoring experience.

After getting A*s and As in Maths, Further Maths, and Physics A-Levels, I went on to complete a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from Cardiff University. After graduating, I joined a pharmaceutical company, taking on multiple roles over the 4 years working there.
