About Gary

My degree is in mathematics, with QTS. I went into computing afterwards because it came easily and I liked the mathematics underneath it, and I now teach Computer Science at a college in Brighton.

I started my MSc in astrophysics with no physics qualification at all. Not A Level, not GCSE. I taught myself the fundamentals while the course was already running, which meant learning where the ideas come from rather than remembering what to write down. I finished it, and I am now doing a PhD, modelling how massive stars form.

That is why I am useful to a student who is stuck. I have had to build this subject from nothing myself, fairly recently, so I know which bits are genuinely hard and which only look it.

Most students I meet do not lack ability. They have been told, or have decided, that they are not a science person. That is almost always wrong and it is usually the first thing we deal with.

I start the first lesson with a question rather than a topic. Something simple, with no numbers in it, where the answer has to be reasoned out rather than looked up. It shows me quickly whether you understand what is going on or have been remembering formulae and hoping.

After that I teach what that tells me to teach. I do not start at the front of the specification.

A lot of GCSE physics marks are lost on the maths, not the physics. Rearranging, standard form, significant figures, units. If that is where it is going wrong, we fix it there.

Then it is teaching and past papers, marked the way the examiner marks them, so you can see where the marks are going and why. I set a little work between lessons and we go through it at the start of the next.

Online or in person. AQA, Edexcel and OCR, Foundation and Higher, separate sciences or trilogy.
