Evan

Hi, my name is Evan and I have a passion for teaching young people in a way which gives them an excitement for learning and discovering the wonders of the world and how to understand them.

Tutoring Experience

I hold a degree in Physics with Astrophysics, and my love for exploring the wonders of the universe has been a lifelong passion. While I haven't taken the traditional route of teaching in schools, my journey has been enriched by years of science communication and inspiring young minds.

For many years, I toured schools across the UK as part of a Mobile Planetarium group, delivering interactive and exciting sessions on Space, Dinosaurs, Fossils, and Biology. These experiences allowed me to teach hundreds of students each day, sparking curiosity and helping them see science in a new light.

In addition to my work in science, I spent much of my career as a Church of England vicar. This role honed my communication and one-on-one mentoring skills, as well as my ability to explain complex ideas in ways that are relatable and easy to understand. My background has also given me a unique opportunity to speak at universities and events on the fascinating interplay between science and faith.

Now, I am focusing fully on tutoring, using my expertise in physics and my passion for teaching to support GCSE students. I am committed to helping students grasp challenging concepts, build their confidence, and achieve their best in physics.

Tutoring Approach

Every child gets the chance to be taught in school. If you are looking for a tutor to help your child then it is because something about the school approach isn't working as well as it should for them and they need that extra bit of help. My approach is not to be robotically wed to the tried and tested school methods, but to sit with each student, to understand them, understand their strengths and weaknesses and communicate in a fresh way to help them grow and develop in their love for Physics and their skilful application to answering each question put before them.

My approach majors on understanding the "first-principles" approach to science which means they truly understand not only HOW to apply certain methodologies but also WHY. When you understand the WHY you can do anything! When you only understand the HOW you are always vulnerable to your memory.
