Physics - GCSE & A-level ( all boards) Science GCSE ( Synergy & trilogy )

I specialise in effective Physics tutoring. I have 27 years of experience and am also an examiner for Edexcel and OCR (including iAL).
I focus on understanding the key concepts and problem solving strategies. Physics is easy when you know how to approach problems.
I use ICT in a variety of ways to make the concepts clearer - Physics is really just maths with pictures! I will help you develop your visualising skills and show you how to apply different methods to answer questions.

Reza
Tutor for Math, Physics, and Mechanical/Material Engineering courses
I hold a PhD in Mechanical Engineering and currently work as a post-doctoral researcher in the Aerospace Engineering Faculty at TU Delft (Delft University of Technology). My extensive teaching experience covers a wide range of engineering courses, including: - Mathematics: algebra, linear algebra, probability, calculus, differential equations, intellectual math, and advanced engineering mathematics. - Mechanical Engineering: Statics, Dynamics, Mechanics of materials, Mechanical design, control, vibration, Fluid Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Heat transfer, Engineering drawing, Applied Mechanics, Composite Structures, Flight, Machine Elements, Manufacturing, 3D printing, and more. - Physics: mechanics, momentum and energy, electricity, charge and current, electric and magnetic fields, waves, particle physics, nuclear decay, astrophysics, cosmology, oscillations, etc. - CAD/CAM Software: Autocad, Solidworks. - Mechanical Design Packages: ANSYS, APDL programming, ABAQUS, MATLAB, Symbolic MATLAB, LS-DYNA. My research and teaching interests are diverse, including: • Additive manufacturing • Mechanical metamaterials • Acoustical metamaterials • Electromagnetic metamaterials • Aeroacoustics • Soft matter and soft robotics • Fatigue and fracture mechanics • Experimental mechanics • Multiscale numerical modelling • Biomaterials • Porous materials • Manufacturing of medical devices and implants • Deep learning • Image processing • Topology optimization • Origami and Kirigami structures • Self-folding and self-assembly structures • Tissue engineering • Permeability in porous materials • Fluid-Solid Interaction I understand that not all teachers excel in teaching Engineering and Mathematics courses and explaining their importance to students. Courses with strong mathematical backgrounds may become boring for students who lack a solid mathematical basis. To address this, I take a student-centered approach, starting from the basics to actively engage all students, including those with weaker mathematical backgrounds. I also provide practical examples to demonstrate the real-world significance of what they are learning, inspiring and fostering their interest in the subject matter. If you have any additional questions before starting a class, please feel free to ask me. I am here to assist! :)

Jeremy
Physics & Maths Lessons! - Experience with Belgian and EU Baccalaureate, IB, CCVX, University Applications & Learning Disabilities
Hi, My name is Jeremy and I have a Master's in Physics with honors from the University of Leicester (which was featured as a top 5 Physics university in the UK by The Guardian) and a - french - European School diploma in which I achieved 90% in Physics and 85% in Maths. Helping others understand difficult topics and skills is something that I am very passionate about as an empathetic person. I have experience teaching Physics and Maths to kids from unprivileged backgrounds at the homework school in Saint-Gilles (CASG du Service Social Juif asbl) as well as 4 years of private teaching. In my classes, I aim to: - help students achieve better grades in exams/tests in all branches of Physics & Maths - clearly explain and break down topics - give context and or example applications of topics (to improve understanding and memorization) - help with ADHD & other learning disabilities - give practical advice for university applications (eg. UCAS in the UK) and discuss the exciting Physics research/work and projects you can work on later in life Physics has a plethora of useful and fascinating applications, from the detection of Gravitational Waves and Gamma-Ray Bursts to the development of novel Medical Imaging techniques and Nano-technology (eg: smartphones). It is a subject that I am very passionate about and I hope to make use of my years of experience and extensive knowledge to help you understand and love the subject! My lessons will always be tailored to the individual needs of the student, so please do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions!

Private lessons in math, physics-chemistry and science.
Give your child the future he deserves. Do you want to significantly increase your child's average? Do you want it to become autonomous? For 2 years, I have helped more than 10 students in difficulty from college (sixth, fifth, fourth, third) and high school (second, first, terminal) to achieve their goals (good average, baccalaureate,) and to regain confidence in them. I am a student at INSAT. I had my scientific baccalaureate with an average of 16 so there is no need to worry;). I offer support courses in (physics, chemistry, math, science), each course is adapted according to the level of the student. My method in 3 points: - short term: significantly increase the average by assimilating the course and preparing for the next tests (assimilating the course, training in standard exercises, anticipating the teacher's expectations and test questions) - medium term: integrate reasoning and work methods assimilation, training exercise) - long-term: set a goal, build the steps to achieve this goal, become aware, have confidence in your abilities, unlock your potential) My greatest reward is to see my students progress, overcome difficulties and flourish throughout the school year, so do not hesitate to contact me for any additional information. I wish you very good luck in your research. Cordially.

Preparation for TU Delft Aerospace Engineering entrance exam
80% of my students got accepted in the 2025 exam, I am sure I can help you out in the 2026 exam! TU Delft is Europe's most prestigious university for aerospace studies, preparing some of the best engineers. However the selection procedure is tough and demanding, and only those prepared have a chance to succeed. As a TU Delft student, I know from first hand how stressfull this process is, and can therefore help you succeed in the preparation of these exams. I have previous experience as a tutor back in high school, helping students improve their grades from Cs to As. Moreover, I have an extensive knowledge on the subjects tested on these exams, having taken them myself and having completed the courses at university with excellent grades. Throughout the class, I will use a presentation to explain the main concepts of each exam (Maths, Physics and Aerospace Engineering), focusing on those subjects the student is struggling with most. After this, I will help the student complete some practice excercises, and then assign extra practice to complete on their own time. These exercises will then be reviewed in the following class to ensure the topics have been understood. I am looking forward to help you in your journey as an aerospace engineer!
