I am very happy with our experience so far with Varsity Tutors. They matched my daughter with reading specialist Mary and she is wonderful! My 10 year old daughter feels happy after her sessions and believes her tutor has already helped her.

Certified Tutor

I am an Oxford graduate with a first degree in Physics. I then gained a D. Phil in Theoretical Physics from Sussex University. After some years in post-doctoral research I taught Physics and Maths in further education and on a foundation course at Lancaster University.

In teaching, I like share my enthusiasm for Physics and Mathematics with students. I try to foster understanding rather than relying on rote learning. I encourage students to ask questions and will always try to find alternative explanations or examples if something isn't understood first time.
