About Mark

Since 2014 I have taught in excess of 5,000 hours across Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science and Programming (using Python) as a full-time private tutor.
Predominantly I have tutored and home-schooled students for A level examinations in the stated subjects however I also have expertise with rarer qualifications and entrance examinations - all listed below. Further I have taught adult students wishing to learn how to program from beginner right through to basic software engineering principles such as version control, debugging and testing.

For classes at your home or coffee shop, I travel via a combination of Brompton (folding bike) and public transport I have good range and reliability across West and Central London. Please contact with your requirements & location and I will respond promptly with potential times and dates.

Online classes (see availability for slots) take place using a whiteboard tool (bitpaper) and jitsi (open source free video conferencing software).


Background
====================================================================================
I began work as a tutor in 2009 whilst completing my first degree in Physics (MPhys) at the University of Manchester. My second degree, a postgraduate masters of research, was obtained from Cambridge in 2011. Subsequently I began work on my interdisciplinary PhD based between University College London and CERN. Whilst writing up my thesis in 2014 (subsequently graduating in February 2016) I began work as a full-time tutor.

This has allowed me to continue two of my primary passions - learning and teaching. Over the years I have built-up an extensive textbook and popular science collection. I am constantly striving to find new ways to improve how I deliver content; Especially those areas I had struggled with myself at school.
In doing so I have developed an excellent breadth of knowledge allowing me to set course material in context. I find this allows students to see how disparate areas are related.

About Me
==============================================================
Outside of education I am currently renovating my home; a narrowboat on the Grand Union Canal. In my spare time I cook a great deal, I read interesting books and I travel.

Younger students, such as GCSE, are encouraged to notice their mistakes and to learn about their weaker areas of a given topic. Each class focuses upon recent topics a student has covered, a topic the student has expressly requested or a topic determined as difficult for the given qualification by me.

Older students, such as A level, are strongly encouraged to improve study habits and lay out useful work for our sessions. Weaker students will initially be led through this with an intend to build to improve self-study. For most this leads to the student being in charge of their own education. The topics we cover are based upon their needs. In many cases this resolves to misunderstood questions, topics poorly remembered, specifics they would like to revise as well as referencing to further materials as required.

For home-schooled students I typically focus on consistent progress through a chosen book or books with assessment every 3 months or so. Usually there is a stronger focus on homework in these classes to ensure students are spending enough time on a given subject per week.
