About Tom
I am an experienced Head of Physics and senior examiner with over 20 years of teaching experience across A-level, IB and GCSE. I have helped hundreds of students secure top grades and places at leading universities, including Oxford and Cambridge, through clear explanations, structured revision, and expert exam preparation.
Having transitioned to tutoring full time, I now offer greater flexibility and highly tailored support to help students achieve their very best in the crucial months leading up to their exams.
Specialisms:
• A-level & IB Physics (all major exam boards)
• GCSE Physics & Maths – structured revision and grade improvement
• Oxbridge admissions, entrance exams and competition papers
• Expert examiner insight and targeted preparation strategies
As a senior examiner, I know exactly how marks are awarded and how to help students develop the precision, confidence and depth of understanding required to excel in exams.
Tutoring Style
My sessions are clear, structured and engaging. I adapt my approach carefully to each student, drawing on a wealth of experience to explain even the most difficult concepts with clarity. I am hardworking and determined, reflective and caring — quick to adapt to support understanding and build confidence.
I come well prepared with a wide range of resources and strategies, ensuring students can make strong, sustained progress. I focus on identifying and addressing gaps systematically, developing both conceptual understanding and exam technique.
I aim to inspire students to achieve their full potential and leave every session feeling more confident, capable and in control of their learning.
