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.
Student experiment chaos? No problem. With @pascoscientific Capstone, you can untangle the muddle—view graphs separately or together, rescale for clarity, and rearrange for easy comparisons. Insight from confusion = learning achieved.
Maths meets Mechanics: Two masses over a pulley, connected by a light, inextensible string. We calculate string tension, then test it with a spring balance. Theory vs reality—Physics in action! #Mechanics #PhysicsFun
Exploring wire ring resonance: after the wire snapped, we lost a few centimetres—but the same vibration patterns reappeared at new frequencies. Now predicting the new resonant points based on the lower original ones!
GCSE Biology: How are animals adapted to their environment? This insect has a long mouth part so that it can drink the nectar found in plants. The insect has many other adaptations, such as its feet, to hold onto surfaces that appear smooth.
A level Sociology - Religion and Social Change Martin Luther King Jr I have a dream speech ends with Free at last! Free at Last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at Last! August 28, 1963. Racial and injustice in the USA compared to the UK
The Ribbon Bands in Microsoft 365 provide an indication of the amount of reusable code used across all their applications. Reusable code is a good idea since routines only have to be written once for many applications and once working can be left alone.
Not really Chemistry, but learning to heat glass tubing and bend it to make delivery tubes for an experiment.
An Interferometer setup using a @pascoscientific wire sound sensor to record the data. Sound from a loudspeaker connected to a signal generator is fed into the interferometer. The sound then travels in both directions around the tube to the Pasco sound sensor. The length of one of the paths is then changed, and the signal is analysed
Rather than chromatography of coloured pens, it is a bit more exciting to see if the green extract of plant leaves is a single substance. Collecting leaves, grinding them up, and then running the Chromatogram in Petroleum Ether introduces solvents other than water.
Using the @pascoscientific Metre stick and the Torque Mass Hanger set to determine the mass of an AA Battery.
My new @Lascells microwave kit has arrived. Now, we will be able to do a new range of experiments on microwave reflection, refraction, and polarisation. Although expensive, investing in a kit like this helps the students learn and remember new concepts in Physics.
Some A-Level Biology involves practising experimental techniques, like creating serial dilutions to determine the unknown concentration. The students have to learn to be accurate, and this comes with practice.
Artificial Intelligence. There is a fundamental shift in how businesses will operate and compete as they embrace the new technology. Will it leave people jobless or create new, yet unimagined jobs? A Level Business - we investigate
Barcodes, QR Codes and scanners are part of everyday life, but how to they work and what information do they hold. We write programs to read these codes to find out and create our own codes to be scanned.
Separating substances. Year 9 students had not done and did not know how to separate the pure Salt from Salt Ore. So we did the practical - some thought that tweezers would be an option - after a minute, they changed their minds.
In the prep room, working out the exact concentration of an unknown using the @pascoscientific drop counter with the pH probe and the thermometer with the help of the magnetic stirrer. Can the students get the same answer using a burette? Probably not!
Your maths exam will be coming to your exam room tomorrow, so remember the pen, pencil, compass, protractor, ruler, and eraser. And it might just be worthwhile doing a past paper today.
Shining a red laser through a narrow slit? You’ll see diffraction in action! The light bends and spreads out, creating a pattern of bright and dark fringes—proof that light behaves like a wave. #Physics #Diffraction #LaserLight
A-Level Biology: Diffusion in Agar. Some tubes are filled with agar and an indicator, and the rate of diffusion of some acid is measured as it moves through the agar. By setting up a known series of concentrations, an unknown concentration can be determined.
It’s that time of year when the micro lab comes out of its suitcase and shows the students what type of computer was used and available in the 1980’s. The micro lab was used to teach the students how to diagnose computer faults
Students learning how to separate two liquids of different boiling points using the distillation apparatus. The students had to choose all the parts, assemble them and then produce their distillation products.
This is the new Smart Cart Trigger Dropper from @pascoscientific. It can be used for explosions by programming when to depress the trigger, showing the path of a dropped ball, and demonstrating conservation of momentum. On my wish list, now to see if I can get one
Fun with probability. What are the odds that one of the cards in a blue-backed pack will be red? What is the probability that all the cards can change to red backs? Magic and sleight of hand beat all odds.
With all the electronic equipment, is there still a place in the Physics lab for a ticker tape timer and analogue data recording, like cutting up strips of ticker tape paper to create a graph? I believe there is, as it increases a student's knowledge of how to do something.
Thousands of Mayflies are out, dancing in the air to find a mate. Their life cycle is fascinating—from riverbed nymphs feeding on algae to two winged adult stages: the dull ‘dun’ (sub-imago), then the final imago that mates and dies within a day. #Nature #Mayflies #RiverLife
An AI image of a boy sitting alone from others. To what extent are poverty and social exclusion linked? In the lessons, we explore whether this is true and what could be done about it.
What is the capacity of a hard disk? Years ago, 5- 10 MB was fantastic, a few years ago, a gigabyte disk was a dream, now Terabytes are standard. What will be the average in a few years? Will the hard disk have gone and be all solid state in just a few years, gone like the CD, DVD and Floppy disk?
