Maths and physics are some of the hardest courses at GCSE and A-level but are great stepping stones into many fields.
As someone who achieved 5 A*'s at A-level and with a passion for teaching maths and physics, I will work with you (and your parents if requested) to maximise your performance in these subjects and ensure the best outcome possible come results day.
Extra information

About Me
My name is Max, and I'm entering my fourth year of university, studying physics at the University of Warwick. I achieved 5 A*'s at A-level and I have a passion for tutoring maths and physics.

Both subjects have a reputation among some students for being difficult and even boring at times. However, I aim to change that perception of these subjects among my students and get them to appreciate the importance and even beauty of the two subjects, while equipping them with the tools and information to perform their best on the exams.

I will tailor my teaching to the necessary syllabi and use real-world examples to cement my students' understanding.

In my spare time, I love watching and playing football and chess.

My approach to teaching primary maths is rooted in the mastery framework, which emphasizes deep, long-term understanding rather than just surface-level memorization. This method is essential as it builds a solid foundation, allowing students to grasp concepts thoroughly and apply them confidently. I place significant importance on the use of manipulatives, as they offer hands-on experiences that make abstract ideas more concrete. By engaging students actively, manipulatives enhance both understanding and enjoyment, fostering a more meaningful and lasting connection with mathematical concepts.

I use the Ruth Miskin phonics scheme in my teaching, which provides a structured, systematic approach to developing reading and writing skills. This method emphasizes the clear progression of sounds, blending, and decoding, helping children build confidence and fluency. By following this scheme, I ensure that students grasp phonics in a fun, engaging way, laying a strong foundation for their literacy development.

With extensive experience across subjects like maths, phonics, writing, and teaching English as an additional language, I bring both expertise and a genuine passion for helping students succeed. My approachable nature ensures that students feel comfortable asking questions and seeking support, while my enthusiasm for teaching fosters a positive and engaging learning environment. I tailor my methods to each student's needs, making sure they build confidence and mastery in whichever subject they're tackling, and I'm committed to helping them achieve their full potential.
