I'm a fun and active individual that likes sports and other physical activities. Just started my second year in my degree apprenticeship in data science with Airbus UK and some of my favourite hobbies include: Basketball, Cricket, movies, travelling and gaming. Attended Broughton Fields primary school when I first moved to the UK in 2011, and then went on to complete my GCSEs and A levels at Oakgrove Secondary School in Milton Keynes. Achieving high grades in both GCSEs and A levels, having done IT, Business and Mathematics in A levels.

Hi! I’m an experienced and enthusiastic tutor specialising in GCSE English Language, English Literature, and General Science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics). I also teach Geography, Economics, and Business Administration, offering students both strong academic support and confidence-building strategies. I’m passionate about helping students break down difficult ideas, improve exam technique, and achieve grades they didn’t think were possible. What I Specialise In 🎓 English Language (AQA Expert) • Paper 1 & Paper 2 structure and timing • High-level analytical writing • Understanding writers’ methods • Model answers, mark-scheme breakdowns, and strategies to jump a grade quickly English Literature • Of Mice and Men, Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, A Christmas Carol, An Inspector Calls, Poetry • Essay structure, theme analysis, key quotations, and exam-ready paragraphs Science (Biology, Chemistry & Physics) • Clear explanations of tricky concepts • Memory techniques for content-heavy topics • Exam practice focused on command words and application Humanities & Business Subjects • Geography – physical & human geography, case studies, exam technique • Economics – micro, macro, diagrams, and real-world application • Business Administration / Business Studies – planning, marketing, finance, exam writing 🌟 Success Stories Here are a few examples of the progress my students have made: • GCSE English Language student: improved from Grade 4 to Grade 7 in 8 weeks through structured practice and targeted feedback. • Biology student: moved from Grade 5 to Grade 8 after focusing on exam command words and simplifying complex processes. • Chemistry student: gained confidence with calculations and improved two grades by developing step-by-step problem-solving methods. • English Literature student: went from writing short paragraphs to producing full, high-level essays, eventually achieving a Grade 9. • Geography student: improved exam timing and case-study recall, boosting their mark by 25%. Parents regularly tell me their children feel more motivated, more confident, and more prepared after just a few lessons. My Teaching Style⭐️ • Friendly, patient, and clear explanations • Lots of exam practice, model answers, and personalised feedback • I teach students how to think like examiners • Strong focus on confidence, planning, and understanding why answers score marks • I tailor lessons to match each student’s ability, school curriculum, and goals 🎯 What Students Can Expect With Me By the end of our lessons, students typically: • write higher-level answers with confidence • understand exactly how to hit the mark scheme • improve grades quickly and consistently • feel motivated and supported • learn efficient revision and exam techniques 📩 Looking Forward to Meeting You Whether your child needs to boost confidence, improve grades, or push towards top marks, I’m here to help. I make lessons engaging, structured, and fully tailored to each student’s needs.

--- About Me! --- I'm Danny, a 4th year physicist at the University of Edinburgh, currently undergoing a research year abroad working on a thesis at GSI/FAIR, a facility for high energy physics. My work involves a lot of programming, knowledge of physics, and application of engineering and design principles. I love inspiring others and talking about my subject, so any student who comes my way will hopefully leave feeling confident, ready for common exam questions, and most importantly, wanting to learn more beyond their curriculum. I play the violin to a diploma standard, love trying out new cooking recipes (sometimes with disastrous consequences), and really enjoy mountain sports, like climbing and hiking. --- My Education --- As mentioned above, I am a physicist at the University of Edinburgh on a year in industry at GSI. I am working on the upcoming DIRC particle detectors for the PANDA project and the EIC at Brookhaven (google these things, in my opinion they are very cool). This research of course involves knowing a bunch about programming, mathematics and physics! I achieved 4 A* grades at A-Level, in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Music, with the WJEC exam board. For these grades, I abused my poor printer, drilling past paper questions endlessly, so I am very familiar with this specific curriculum. However, mathematics and physics are very similar across all exam boards. There are common questions in every exam, and your child will become familiar and confident with these questions with me, ideally able to reproduce 'stock answers' with a high level of understanding and speed. This saves time in exams and guarantees easy marks; this is a major step in reducing exam anxiety, and one of the main strategies I used to achieve my marks. I taught a STEM program at a US summer camp. It was much more of a 'for fun' thing, so we focused on making classes lightweight and enjoyable, rather than drilling worksheets and past paper questions. As such, I won't exclusively bore tutees to death with math problems! I pride myself on being able to break down concepts into simple to understand analogies. I am also a huge advocate for using past questions as revision material. However, I recognise the importance for students to balance time spent on questions with going over textbook concepts.
