I am a physics PhD researcher at Imperial College London. I have over two years of experience teaching physics and maths. I focus on building a student's conceptual understanding and utilising basic rules to solve exam problems.
"Made my revision feel so much more productive."
"Drastically improved my confidence."
"Matt helped me turn equations into understanding."
"He has a way of explaining concepts that is clear and makes sense."
"He was very supportive — there were no stupid questions."
I really struggled with A-Level Physics, especially as I hadn't taken A-Level Maths. This made many concepts difficult to grasp initially. After trying other tutors, I was so lucky to find Matt. He has a way of explaining concepts in a way that is clear and makes sense, using words and examples to facilitate my understanding. His patience and tutoring style made me feel at ease and I felt I could ask anything. I cannot recommend him highly enough!
Most of my sessions operate via Zoom, although in some cases I can meet in person. I focus on building a student's conceptual understanding and utilising basic rules to solve exam problems - understanding should always be prioritised over memorisation.
Typically, I ask for the topic in which the student wants to improve. Firstly, we make sure the conceptual background is clear. Secondly, we work through a few problems together. I can provide problem sheets and past papers, or the student can bring their own from lessons. If the problems are still causing difficulty, we link them back to the basics: I find making animations and diagrams is a great way to learn. I can provide custom resources upon request, such as this animation for drawing plots in polar coordinates.
All major exam boards — AQA, Edexcel, OCR and WJEC. I can help with the key stages of learning physics and maths. Some of the topics I cover are listed below, but if you have a specific topic in mind, please get in touch.
Pick a time that you are available and please tell me what you are working on. I'll text you back to confirm the session. Your first session and any associated enquiries are free.
