1:1 Tuition

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.

Today is a good day to examine the heat loss from the house using a Thermal Camera. These pictures are handy for all the Physics lessons when investigating insulation.

Studying circulation becomes a bit more interesting when an ultrasound machine is used to scan for a vein so a cannula can be inserted into an arm. We also learned why needles are put into veins rather than arteries.

The students are examining a fibre optic model to determine how total internal reflection works, how a signal can be sent down, and why monochromatic light is needed when messages are sent down the fibre.

Paper Cards, Punched paper tape, cassette tape recorders, high-speed tape reels, 8-inch floppy disks, 51/4 floppy disks, 31/2 inch floppy disks, and flashing lights these are all the things that I have used in my lifetime to enter information into and use computer.

Why are Moles so hard to understand? I find that both A-Level and GCSE students have often failed to understand that although the mass and volumes are different, the substances have the same number of atoms.

The students investigated how sound gets weaker the further away from the object it is. We chose a bell that makes the same volume each time it is rung. We could see an inverse square relationship using a @pascoscientific wireless sound sensor and Capstone.

Sometimes, mastering math means unlocking the full potential of your calculator! It's surprising how many of my students had never explored the memory functions before. Safe to say, they’re in for a game-changer!

GCSE Physics Tuition: Capturing footsteps through time! Using a FLIR camera, we can trace the heat trail left by someone walking through the classroom minutes ago. Science in action! #ThermalImaging

A-Level Business Studies Tuition: Employment Law: We are Looking at the balancing act of giving fair rights to both employers and employees. Does it succeed, and what could be done to improve the Law for both?

GCSE Computer Studies Tuition: Not all network cables are created equal! From flat to round shapes, the quality of the wires affects transmission speeds. We explored CAT 5 and beyond, learning how different cables handle data differently. #ComputerStudies

GCSE Chemistry Tuition: Exploring the difference between electrolysis and creating a cell. We built a simple cell using a magnesium plate and salt water as the electrolyte—it even powered a fan! The students were amazed to see how easy it is to make a working cell. #Chemistry

A-Level Chemistry Tuition: The students investigated some of the properties of salts using the @pascoscientific conductivity sensor to see how concentration and the different metal salts affected conductivity and how the strength of an acid or alkali affected conductivity.

A-Level Further Maths: Introducing complex numbers and exploring their powers. Fascinating to see the patterns emerge! #FurtherMaths #ComplexNumbers #MathsMagic

A-Level Physics Tuition: The Students are investigating Simple Harmonic Motion, investigating how the length of the ruler and the mass on the ruler affect the period and the decay rate in this example of damped harmonic oscillation.

A-Level Biology Tuition: Tools I only dreamed of made possible with AlphaFold. This AI system developed by Google DeepMind predicts a protein’s 3D structure from its amino acid sequence and the students can use it.

Posted on October 27, 2024

A-Level Psychology Tuition: Relationships. Investigating the evidence that individuals who form secure infant attachments go on to enjoy long-lasting and loving adult relationships. Failure to do this seems to lead to broken relationships later in life.

A-Level Computing Tuition: Creating our own  AND gate to understand and see how it worked using a BBC Microbit to control and power the chip.

Year 9 Chemistry Tuition. Burning magnesium ribbons in the air is one of my favourite experiments. This is the most talked about experiment in school science because the students can do it themselves.

Posted on October 24, 2024

GCSE Physics Tuition: Is the air pressure higher in an inflated balloon than outside air pressure. I had the whole class betting against me and they were wrong. The air pressure was the same - then we had to work out why. Using the @pascoscientific pressure sensor.
