The way she teaches challenges me but it helps me to grow and pursue Physics even more than I did before. She goes through the theory and then gives you questions to test you.

Richard H
My son was struggling with his first year physics A level and becoming really frustrated. We wanted someone with experience to help him so that he can achieve a high grade for University entrance.Rich answered our enquiry very quickly and a lesson was arranged . We haven't looked back since that first lesson .Rich has been brilliant. He is an excellent tutor and has identified gaps in my son's knowledge that would prevent him from fully understanding topics .One of my initial concerns was if he had experience with OCR as it wasn't on his profile ....but the first question he asked me was which exam board was he studying.He has lots of experience.
As a parent I'm delighted because my son is so happy! His confidence is growing , the stress diminishing and he's starting to enjoy the subject!!Thank you Richard. Highly recommend.
