Experience the best teaching from a qualified and experienced teacher with top-notch facilities for 1:1 teaching in a classroom and laboratory. Our teaching aids include visualisers, smartboards, and all the experiments for GCSE and A Level to aid understanding. We take electronic notes for students and send them straight to their phones so they have PDF notes for each session. Additionally, we have a vast electronic resource of hundreds of exam papers, including many not normally available to students. We offer both in-person and online teaching options from our TV studio, making learning accessible and convenient for all.

With over 40 years of teaching experience, I am a qualified and experienced Chartered Teacher. Throughout my career, I have taught in 11-18 schools, served as a Head of Department for over 50 staff, worked in FE colleges for 16 years, and been a University Lecturer at two Universities. Beyond teaching, I am also a Film Maker, Broadcaster, and Presenter. I run my own weekly Climate Podcast and host an extensive Science YouTube Channel. Despite my diverse interests, my passion remains rooted in science and education.
In my spare time I am learning to sail
Students like and students need face to face contact. They need someone with years of professional experience, to teach them in the best possible way to allow them to achieve their full potential. By doing experiments and carrying out investigations strong memory bonds are formed which helps boost the grades.

Students remember all the Circle Theorems so that they can solve the A-level problems. Finding the Midpoint of a chord, then finding a perpendicular and another perpendicular, allows the student to find the centre of the circle.
Taking a good look at the insides of an oscilloscope to discover how a Cathode Ray Tube works. Once commonplace, now students don't know what it is, and the technology about how it works, and its history in the discovery of particles.
Practising Serial dilutions as part of an A-Level Experiment Practice. Some of the students have to do practical experiments, and it is essential to get them to practice the sorts of things they will be doing.
Using the Turing Tumble by @UpperStoryCo, the students worked out some assembly language and followed the logic of what was happening to the bits. Using the ball bearings, the students saw how the gates set bits, so they could try adding some bits together and check whether they got the correct answer.
A-Level Chemistry learning mechanisms of chemical reactions. This is the reaction of Bromine with Propene. We need to draw the curly arrows from the bond to the atom, from the Pi Bond to the Bromine and from the Bromine-Bromine bond to the far Bromine atom.
Learning how the eye works using the @pascoscientific demo eye and a light source. First, the students experiment with the variable lens, discovering how the lens's shape can be altered by adding or removing water. They then place this into the eye to obtain a sharp image on the retina.
The Easter Holidays are for practising lots of exam questions and discovering that, in addition to the formulae on the exam sheet, there are loads of formulae that you are not given and have to memorise.
Coulomb's Law, A Level Physics, measuring the force between two charged polystyrene spheres. Given lots of different equipment and access to the Internet, students had to come up with ways to measure the force between the two spheres. Read more in the Blog
We took a slice of a transverse section through a rosemary leaf using a microtome and a cut-throat razor, taking ever-thinner slices until we could get one that was about one cell thick. This was then stained and placed on a microscope slide with a cover slip.
A level Psychology: Someone walks upstairs and having got there can’t remember why they walked up the stairs. Does forgetting get worse with old age or is it due to the way we learn?
It is that time of year when the year 12 students need to start thinking about A-level Computing Projects. The first step is to think of a project that can fulfil the exam criteria to gain the maximum potential marks.
Chemistry GCSE: I needed a pH curve for revision to show the students. With the @pascoscientific drop counter, a pH probe, and a temperature probe - 2 experiments in one, with some Potassium Hydroxide in a beaker and some HCl delivered by the drop counter, we had the pH Curve and all the data to go with it.
Investigating Damping using a @Pascoscientific smartcart as a pendulum. Having the smartcart on a track at a steep angle with a spring. Changing the spring constant by changing the spring and adding air resistance created light, heavy and critical damping.
A level Sociology Education is the key to learning how to behave in society. Some sociologists argue that cultural factors are the main explanation for differences in educational achievement. Differences in primary socialisation may mean that some groups find it easier to engage with the culture of the school.
In Physics, we explore why eclipses don’t happen every month — despite regular new and full moons. We also look at how the Moon’s changing distance from Earth creates different types of eclipses and how this is all controlled by gravity and angular momentum.
How does transpiration work, and how does capillary rise help the plants? We investigated the bores of different-sized capillary tubes to find out the effects of having smaller bores. The smaller the bore, the higher the rise. Next, to measure the size of the xylem cells.
Practice is over. The teams are set. All have the same hardware to assemble, the motherboard, processor, RAM, Graphics card and USB Board, but who can assemble the parts, install the Operating system and hook up to the network the fastest.
Turning Butanol into Butanoic Acid via reflux with acidified potassium dichromate, followed by distillation. Students build the setup from scratch—learning practical skills and getting hands-on with ground glass joint lab gear. Proper old-school chemistry!
Setting up circuits in @pascoscientific Capstone, to emulate different electric circuits. Faster than building the circuits for electricity revision, the emulators can calculate the resistances, current and voltages.
Many of us have a compartmentalised brain—Chemistry is Chemistry, and Maths is Maths. When students find an easy Maths problem in Chemistry, it is suddenly more difficult because they perceive it as the wrong subject.
Measuring the speed of Sound using a tuning fork and a tube, pulling out the slider until the loudest sound can be heard and measuring the distance from the tuning fork. This gives the wavelength. Repeat this several times to get a good average, and then work out how much of a wavelength the distance is calculated at the velocity of sound in air at this temperature.
The Mitochondrion is the site of respiration. Is this an ancient bacterium that invaded another in an example of symbiosis that created a new type of organism? DNA Evidence? Mitochondria self-replicate.
In Business depreciation refers to the gradual decrease in value of an asset over time due to factors like wear and tear or obsolescence, and it's a key accounting concept used to allocate the cost of an asset over its useful life.
Taking a hard disk to bits so that the students could see how a hard disk works.
Using displacement reactions, comparing the reactivities of three different metals with their sulfates—Copper, Iron, and Zinc—to find out which is the most reactive and which is the least.
Constant volume: Increasing the Temperature increases the pressure—Gay Lussac's Law. It is so much easier and more accurate to use a @pascoscientific wireless pressure sensor than a Bordon Gauge.
Many questions in Maths Papers look at the probability of selecting a card but many students don't play cards except perhaps on a computer games and don't know the names, values or suits.
The Laplace rail demonstration is a piece of scientific equipment used to demonstrate the force exerted on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field, illustrating the motor effect and fundamental electromagnetic principles.
Life is beginning in the pond and it is a good time to look at spirogyra and get the students to try and record what they actually see rather than what they think they see.
