- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?

Yes. I can also provide references upon request.

- Do you belong to any professional organisations?

No.

- Tell me about some of your current students.

A home schooling student of mine has developed rapidly after we designed a personalised programme of at-home science experiments and demonstrations to put the syllabus in context.

A 12 year old student of mine found that he fell behind in maths so we are doing weekly lessons in-person to improve his understanding and exam technique. His progress is very encouraging, especieally the improvement in the presentation of his work.

A GCSE student of mine is having weekly Skype lessons so we can explore more advanced topics in maths and science. We frequently find ourselves working on A-Level content or otherwise interesting material which is not on the syllabus.

I am working on a creative construction course with a 12 year old boy. We work on science-based engineering challenges at home. We're building a radio controlled plane at the moment!

I use Zoom and Skype for online tutoring. I also use an extra camera so students can see what I'm writing and also follow along with any practical work I'm doing for science.

- Do you have a personal message for students?

Spend as much time as possible designing, making and taking things apart. You will learn so much more this way than staring at a textbook. Hands-on experience puts so much of science an maths in context, makes it easier to remember and makes it more fun.
