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.

Using the magnets on two smartcarts to demonstrate elastic collisions. Using the @pascoscientific Capstone, the before and after graphs can quickly be compared to show the change in momentum and that it is conserved.
Practical Math. It is okay to do some Math problems, but sometimes it is nice to see and understand the Physics behind them. What is an elastic collision? Watching the Newtons cradle gave an idea about what the Mechanics problem was all about.
The Goldleaf electroscope is such a simple piece of equipment yet one of the most useful. I have tried this with Dutch metal but only with gold leaf does it work exceptionally well. With a decent UV light is demonstrates the photoelectric effect well.
Microbiology at A Level: Investigating the effect of Mint and garlic extracts on bacteria cultures. Which one is the most effective and why? Are there any other plant extracts that work like this? So, in addition, we are investigating some other herbs to see if they kill bacteria too.
Investigating the reactivity and properties of the Alkali Metals. Cutting each of the metals in turn with a sharp scalpel. Lithium was the hardest and stayed shiny the longest, and Potassium was the easiest to cut and tarnished as it was cut.
Using the @pascoscientific magnetic field probe along with the smartcart or a rotation sensor to get a reading of the magnetic field strength as the probe moves further into different magnetic fields
A level Business Studies - Globalisation The Earth is becoming smaller, and it is often cheaper to move manufacturing items around the world to be constructed than to do them in the same country. Maybe Trump will change the way the world works.
Exploring wave-particle duality with my A-level Physics students. Doing experiments demonstrating light behaving like a wave and also acting as particles – it hurts the brain how the universe plays by both rules!
Playing an infection game to simulate the growth of an infection in a population, and then repeating the game using vaccination to see the effect this has on the rate of an infection.
Teaching flowcharting is key to writing better computer programs! It helps the students visualize logic, simplifies problem-solving, and boosts code clarity. Perfect for beginners to understand the flow and structure before diving into code.
I find that many students have not used a colorimeter or even what one looks like. Their idea of an entropy experiment is to heat a beaker of water, not considering heat loss. Comparing two experiments, we had a difference of hundreds of Joules.
Using a Lego model to convert a circular motion into a sine wave to demonstrate the relationship between the trig functions and the circle.
Setting up Barton's Pendulums to demonstrate resonance on a string is a breeze with this kit from @lascells. It's fascinating to see how the driving frequency of one ball influences the others. The ball of the same length starts to swing, absorbs the energy, and causes the first to stop—then the cycle repeats!
Trying to find a good aquatic plant for photosynthesis experiments in the laboratory. Hornwort (Ceratophyllum dermersum) does about the best. Being a native species, it grows well in my pond all year round, so it also has good availability.
Should school children head the ball? In our A Level Psychology class we dug into whether lighter balls are truly safer and if heading could lead to brain damage. Research reveals some surprising insights!
Looking at a structural model of the benzene bonds to see if we can understand why it reacts the way it does and how we arrived through history to this model.
Investigating Momentum with elastic and inelastic collisions using the @pascoscientific smartcarts. Using either the velcro or the magnets, simple collisions can be measured, and using multiple stacked carts, we can simulate changing the mass visually.
Two protractors, the one on the left makes it easy for the students to do bearings, and the one on the right is the one that students have in their pencil case, which makes doing bearings much more difficult.
Seeing what we can do with total internal reflection - communicating down fibres, lighting Christmas trees and using endoscopes.
A knitted life scale model of the human gut shows the scale of the gut but feels nice to touch. It allows the students to realise the length of the gut and how it all folds up and fits into the body cavity.
A-level Sociology Poverty is complex—no single measure tells the full story. Stats are just snapshots in time. The amount of income is only a vague yardstick. By using different measures & perspectives, we get a clearer picture. #Sociology
Taking my 1980’s Tandy Trs-80 out for a spin. The students wondered what I could do with a computer with no internet. We looked at the text editor and the spreadsheet and watched the daisy wheel printer work.
I Love Science
One of my students filmed their high-board dive, and we processed the footage using @pascoscientific Capstone to analyze the motion in detail—calculating speed, acceleration, and more! #PhysicsInAction #MotionAnalysis
Creating an Atwood machine to simulate a lift to help non-physicists visualise and then solve Mechanics problems.
A quick demo for the students on the refraction of a laser when the beam hits the water's surface. The dye shows up the path of the laser, so it is very easy to see what happens.
Connecting a model heart with tubes simulating the parts of the body the tubes go to and return from and then making the heart beat to observe how the blood flows. Using lots of air in the system helps see the blood flow more easily.
Learning all about inventory turnover metrics: turnover, carriage costs, order fill rate, average days to sell an inventory, the item fill rate, the cycle time and the return on the investment. And someone said this was trivial!
Prep work: Loading the Raspberry Pi's with a new copy of Linux, Apache, PHP, MariaDB, docker, and Phpmyadmin so we are ready to create websites and do all things server.
