Chris

My name is Chris and I am a full time professional tutor specialising in Maths and Science. I run my own tuition company based in Heywood. I have been an A-level Physics teacher for four years, an A-level Physics technician for three and offering tuition since 2016. I became a full-time tutor in 2019 and have been working with students both in person and online.

My hourly rate is £40 per hour, this website, Tutorhunt takes a 32% commission which results in a £59 rate.

Availability: As I work as a tutor professionally I`m available from 8am - 8pm Monday to Friday with additional slots on the weekend. I prefer to arrange A-level students between 8-4 to allow GCSE students to take the evening slots.

I`m very flexible and will try my best to find a time that works best for you.

Experience: Identifying the area of improvement for a student is critical, some students struggle with a subject, not due to poor understanding or comprehension but lack of confidence, something very difficult to help within a classroom environment. Other concerns such as "the teacher moves too fast" and "the class are really disruptive so the teacher can teach" can be easily addressed with weekly support.

My degree background is in Physics where I studied a range of topics from low temperature properties of Helium-3 to using Lagrangian mechanics to solve unconventional mechanics problems which require a strong Mathematical skill set. Having the depth of knowledge allows me to stretch a students understanding beyond the scope of even the A-level specification.

Mathematics is a highly important language to solving physics problems. It could be working out an equation of a line to show the relationship between two variables at GCSE or using SUVAT equations to explain the nature of a projectile at A-level.

I also run a company that helps schools develop their practical physics curriculum but looking at their equipment and teaching resources and how they can be best used to help the effectiveness of teaching.
