Derek

I am a doctor of engineering with a MSc and BSc in physics, and a PGDE in physics with science. I enjoy teaching and explaining maths and physics concepts. In my spare time I enjoy cycling and designing computer games.

Tutoring Experience

I have worked as a private tutor for National 5 level maths, and physics. I have taught physics at the national 5 level as a secondary school teacher. I have taught maths as a TA at the University of Glasgow to first year undergraduate engineering students.

Tutoring Approach

I work with the pupil to determine what their needs are and how to best support their learning. I take a pupil lead approach working at a pace that allows a fuller understanding of the material. My style is to explain concepts using multiple different explanations. This gives a pupil exposure to the concept through multiple angles.
