Experienced Physics teacher and examiner

Advert description
I taught Physics at all levels for 20 years, in state comprehensive, grammar and private schools and I have been an examiner for AQA for many years. I am familiar with all exam boards including AQA, EDEXCEL, EDUQAS and OCR, at both GCSE and A-level. I have tutored students successfully throughout this time. Currently, I am not a full-time teacher, but remain working within the EDUCATION Sector where I continue to aid students in their studies. I continue as an Examiner for AQA.

My approach is to revisit topics that students find challenging, covering the concepts in detail, followed by plenty of exam practise questions to test the students understanding and help them develop sound exam technique.

As well as being a secondary school teacher of Physics I have also offered individual and group tuition to students who are finding Physics a challenge, both in person and online. I have taught the AQA GCSE and A level specifications, so I have considerable experience of the intricacies of this exam board. I have also taught the EDEXCEL exam board specification and I have tutored several students in this specification and both the OCR and EDUQAS specifications, including the rather more demanding OCR B.

I have been able to assist many students over the years to improve their grades, some by many levels. I achieve this by breaking down the concepts with simple descriptions and models and by insisting on regular practice using past paper questions.

Ian is brilliant. He was always on time, flexible and professional. He developed a great relationship with my son and treated him as an adult, discussing his needs and tailoring the lesson around this. My son looked forward to each session and completed any homework set as wanted to do well for Ian.

Physics A level is a daunting subject and Ian is great at simplifying complex ideas and progressively making it more challenging until the whole topic is understood. I would absolutely recommend him to anybody who needs help in physics or to those who want to go above and beyond.

Ian tutored my son Tom who is at Watford Boys for A level physics. He broke down the topic into simple chunks and worked with Tom on the issues that he was least confident about and checked his understanding step by step. He was also very easy to communicate with both for me and for my son, and gave clear feedback. Tom has now sat his A level exams and said that of all his exams, physics were the ones he found easiest which is big credit to Ian. I am happy to recommend him.
