About Me

Hello, my name is James and I could be your Physics tutor!

I have recently completed my teacher education (PGDE) at the University of Strathclyde and will be starting my first year of teaching in August this year. Throughout my placements, I have taught to National 4 and 5 level Physics at several good schools in South Lanarkshire and East Dunbartonshire.

My approach to teaching has always been that learning is easier if it's enjoyable.

Prior to teaching, I have 10 years experience working as an automotive engineer at Jaguar Land Rover where I worked on high voltage batteries (electric cars) as well as a range of other projects. I love to bring examples from the real world into my teaching to make it more interesting (and more than just cars, trust me!)

Beyond teaching, I enjoying a wide range of activities including playing squash, painting, stained glass, archery, golf, reading and exploring Scotland!

Education

Mechanical Engineering (MEng) - University of Warwick (2010)
PGDE (Secondary Education - Physics with Science) - University of Strathclyde (2022)
APM Project Management certified - let's get your learning planned effectively!
Six Sigma Green Belt - University of Bradford (2011) - let's find the challenge and put in a plan to resolve it!

Experience / Qualifications

PVG certified for working with young people.

10 years working at Jaguar Land Rover as an automotive engineer. During this time, I was also responsible for leading undergraduate and apprentice placements within my department.

Scottish CfE Level 4 BGE Secondary Physics S3 (Glasgow based)

30 £ /h

This tutoring session is designed to support S3 pupils working towards taking National 4 or 5 Physics in S4.

For my tutees I use an initial session to understand your strengths, areas for development, goals and aspirations, challenges and any additional requirements for learning. We then agree a plan and review this as we go through the sessions to encourage successful learning.

A little bit of support can go a long way to improving your confidence and achieving the grades you deserve. Together, we will identify the skills and knowledge you want to develop and agree the best way to do it. Send me a message and let me know how I can help you.

I aim to help students truly understand science and math, not just memorize it. In my lessons, I want us to have fun while learning! It's not just about me teaching you; it's about us learning together. Think of our classes as a friendly journey where we both grow and become stronger. We'll use cool materials and do experiments to make learning a blast!

I believe in effortless learning and enjoying the process. We'll explore concepts like physics, chemistry, and math in a way that's both educational and enjoyable. My goal is to show students how they can apply science and math in their everyday lives.

I'm here to guide you to success and help you reach your goals, and who knows, maybe even exceed them!

I specialise in creating understanding from many different avenues, due to an adept understanding of Mathematics and Physics in SQA exams. I set regular homework tasks to further retention and aim to ensure progression is being made in a helpful and sustainable manner.

Vandana

I have confidence in teaching Math with clear concepts - explaining the derivations and logics to younger kids as to why and how to do basic calculations.
Explaining the concept of ratios, percentages, etc, from real life examples in a fun way, so that the child can imagine and replicate the same in their work
