I hold a Master’s degree in Genomic Medicine from Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry, giving me strong subject expertise and a clear, structured approach to teaching even the most challenging topics. I specialise in GCSE and A Level Science, with a strong focus on exam technique and mark schemes. My students typically improve by 2–3 grades through targeted practice and clear, exam-ready explanations. What sets me apart is my ability to break down complex ideas into simple, understandable steps, adapt to each student’s learning style, and ensure consistent progress through accountability. My lessons are designed to build confident, independent learners who achieve top grades. I hold a Master’s degree in Genomic Medicine from Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry, giving me strong subject expertise and a clear, structured approach to teaching even the most challenging topics. I specialise in GCSE Biology, Chemistry & Physics and A-level Biology and Chemistry (all exam boards), as well as KS1–GCSE English, SATs and 11+ (VR & NVR). I’ve supported 500+ students to build confidence, close gaps in understanding and achieve significant grade improvements — often 2 grades or more.

A junior Finance manager in the NHS.Previously a primary class teacher. I have been tutoring maths and all sciences for 8 years. I have experience working with ages from 5-16 and also experienced working with SEN students. Experience of tutoring online and in person therefore able to adapt to students learning. Achieved A*-A’s in GCses for maths and triple science . Continued with maths and science into A-levels. Also studied further maths at GCses and also able to teach it . Can also help with student who study Statistics GCSE. I can also aid in 11+ students as i am familiar.

I’m a passionate Systems Application Engineer and full-stack developer with a background in Electrical Engineering and over three years of experience building software solutions. I enjoy helping students understand Mathematics, Physical Sciences, and programming concepts in a simple and practical way. Whether it’s algebra, calculus, physics, Python, Java, C++, or web development, I focus on breaking down difficult topics into easy-to-understand lessons. My teaching style is patient, supportive, and tailored to each student’s learning pace, helping them build confidence while improving their problem-solving skills. I believe learning should be engaging, practical, and enjoyable, while ensuring students develop a strong understanding of the concepts behind the work. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, where I developed a strong foundation in Mathematics, Physical Sciences, electronics, programming, and problem-solving. Throughout my studies, I worked on technical and software development projects that strengthened my analytical thinking and practical application skills. In addition to my academic background, I have over three years of experience in full-stack software development and systems application engineering. I have worked with technologies such as Python, Java, C++, Flask, databases, and web development frameworks to build real-world applications and systems. My experience also includes mentoring and assisting students with Mathematics, Physical Sciences, and programming-related subjects, helping them improve their understanding, confidence, and academic performance. I combine technical knowledge with a patient and practical teaching approach to ensure students can grasp both theoretical concepts and real-world applications effectively.

--- 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.
