Tutor Profile

Nicolas

Nicolas

I am a professional educator with a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics from the University of Gothenburg and a PGCE in Secondary Science with a specialism in Physics from the University of Chichester. Currently, I teach Physics and Computer Science in UK secondary schools and colleges, which keeps me fully immersed in the latest curriculum and exam standards. My students value my calm approach, and I pride myself on breaking down complex, intimidating ideas into manageable, logical steps. My overarching goal is to help you build both the confidence and the technical skills needed for long-term academic success.

Teaching Experience

My teaching background spans across multiple levels of education, ranging from secondary school up to university. Beyond my current roles in the classroom, I have served as a University Teaching Assistant leading problem classes and lab sessions for undergraduate mathematics and programming. I have also held a leadership role as a board member for a tutoring organisation, where I delivered large-scale revision lectures designed to make mathematics more accessible. I regularly support a diverse mix of learners, including secondary pupils working towards their GCSEs, A-level and IB students tackling advanced concepts, and adult learners seeking support with university-level mathematics.

Tutoring Approach

My tutoring methodology is structured, supportive, and highly focused on exam success. Lessons typically last between sixty and one hundred and twenty minutes, allowing ample time for a retrieval starter to help move knowledge into your long-term memory. I follow a clear process that begins with identifying your specific strengths and learning gaps before using visual models and worked examples to break down difficult topics. I explicitly teach the mathematical foundations required for your subjects, such as algebra, algorithms, and unit conversions. All sessions are meticulously tailored to your specific exam board, with a heavy emphasis on mark-scheme awareness, command words, and past-paper practice.
