Hi, I'm Simon!

Having taught Physics for over 19 years at two top-rated schools, Tiffin Boys’ in Kingston and The Judd School in Tonbridge, plus 10 years working in FinTech software development and a year developing sonar software for the Royal Navy, I have a wealth of experience in guiding students through the intricacy and beauty of Physics, both in education and in its value in careers.

Whilst leading the very successful Physics department at The Judd School, I was thrilled and honoured to receive a 2019 Physics Teacher Award from the highly respected Institute of Physics.

I have a proven track-record of being able to demystify the subject and allow students of all abilities to recognise that they are capable of passing with a decent grade or indeed excelling in Physics and studying it further. Whether you are looking to achieve a level 4 at GCSE or push an A grade to an A* at A-level, I can help.

Although I loved learning about Physics at school, I was far from being the ideal student and found studying a real challenge, particularly with all the other associated pressures of school. This experience helps to make me an empathetic tutor, who understands the difficulties of learning, especially when it comes to Physics, and has fostered my ability to convey complex ideas in a simple and understandable way.

My qualifications:

  • BSc (Hons) Applied Physics

  • Diploma in Industrial Studies

  • Qualified Teacher Status

  • Chartered London Teacher

  • NPQSL

  • FCollT

  • MInstP

“Simon is a hugely knowledgeable Physics teacher who has helped our daughter bridge some major gaps in Physics GCSE due to poor health. He is patient, calm and engaging, using a range of tools to cover key concepts and adapting his style to individual students. We highly recommend him!”
