Science

I gained a degree in theoretical physics and a doctorate in applied physics.

I then spent approximately 25 years working nearly continuously as a science tutor (fitting it around my scientific consultancy work).

And science and mathematics continue to fascinate me. I still really enjoy consulting (for example, to contribute to the creation of an algorithm) and coaching (for example, occasional sessions to build core skills, understanding, exam awareness and study skills).

You are welcome to book a private science coaching or consultancy (or chat) session with me. If you do not have anything specific in mind, we can do challenge questions, enjoy science debates or try my ever-popular logic questions:

You can also simply email me with a question if you have one:

Mathematics

Mathematics is one of the core skills (perhaps one of only two, along with building an intuitive understanding of how the universe works) for science.

I have written a study book called “Improve Your Maths in 2 Hours”. It is a revision guide focussed on understanding of the core concepts and skills in mathematics with linked videos. It is available from: Payhip (pdf). Amazon US, UK, etc (paperback).

Additionally, my YouTube channel includes a sequence of 20 free maths tutorials.

Are you wondering why I’ve not published a science book? This is largely a question of chance combined with the time that would be required to do it. I have nearly written one twice, but each time I failed to clear enough time in my diary.
