About Michael
I am fully booked on weekends and weekday evenings I am available weekday daytime or school holidays and study leave. I have 30 years' experience as a full-time GCSE Science teacher, private tutor and GCSE Examiner - I know the subject and where candidates often lose marks. I tutor online usually for 1 hour, but I can offer longer sessions if suitable. Many years of experience help me to explain the content in a way that is easier to understand for those who feel a bit lost - the content can be a bit overwhelming and confusing. Spending time one-to-one at the student's pace makes such a difference to understanding and confidence. More able students benefit from a faster pace, more challenging tasks, focused on harder exam questions etc. Everyone is different and so the tuition sessions will adapt and change to suit the individual, complement what is done in school, identifying and strengthening weaknesses etc. I have experience of all the main exam boards and use the latest textbooks for that specific exam board, not just a general science book. This does make a significant difference as they do vary on content and style. My experience as a GCSE Examiner made me so aware of how many candidates who seemed to know a lot of science failed to get good marks due to poor exam technique. Even now this is often not emphasised and practised enough, due to lack of time in school. In tuition sessions we can work on this much more, talking over why marks are lost, what to look for in the questions etc - this takes time and practice. University: - Newcastle University - BSc [2]

I love helping a student understand chemistry, often just one more explanation, at the right pace and level, can really help change from a confusing mystery to 'getting it'. Chemistry particularly needs the basics explained well, it is logical but if you didn't understand or missed something then it is confusing. To see a student gain in confidence is great. Everyone is different, learns differently and needs help in different areas and different ways. I use the many years of experience as a teacher, tutor and former examiner to provide lessons that suit the needs of each individual student. As well as covering the subject content I also work on exam and revision skills - important for improving grades and helpful for other subjects, useful skills now and in the future. I have helped students gain top grades, many of them initially not keen on science as a subject, preferring other subjects - that is fine, as long you are prepared to put in a fair effort.
I specialise in GCSE Sciences - biology, chemistry and physics and only do online.
NOTE: I only have weekly vacancies on Mondays 5.45 - 6.45pm or Tuesdays 6.15 - 7.15pm. I am available during HOLIDAYS for extra sessions. Occasionally someone may drop out, in which case I will update this.
Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to real lessons experienced by the students of Michael.
Perfect! We are truly grateful for Michael’s support and guidance. Over the past year, my daughter has grown in both confidence and ability in Physics and Science. Thanks to his clear explanations, patience, and encouragement, she was able to improve from a projected grade 6 to achieving outstanding results of grade 8 and 9 in her GCSEs.
His teaching style is engaging, structured, and tailored to the student’s needs, which really helped her understand difficult topics and enjoy the subjects more. We cannot recommend him highly enough to any prospective parent or student — he has made a real difference.See more reviews

Michael is an excellent GCSE Science tutor. He is kind, patient, and organised, always making sure students truly understand the subject. He is also flexible with scheduling, especially around exams, and builds confidence through clear explanations and plenty of practice. Our child has made great progress, achieved the grades he wanted, and secured his choice of subject and sixth form as a result. We highly recommend Michael.
Michael is a brilliant, kind and patient tutor - perfect for our son who got support from Michael for all his GCSE science subjects. Michael does not just skim the surface of subjects or focus on just test practice, instead and in addition, he gave our son a good understanding of the topics too.
With Michael's support and guidance through the GCSE preparation period, our son secured all A's in his sciences and is able to study his first choice higher subjects. Thank you Michael and we wish you all the best.Michael is a first class tutor. The best we have had in any subject. He made the lessons enjoyable for our son and our son always found each lesson valuable. He shares knowledge on the subject well and in an understandable way and gives great advice on handling exam questions and how to prepare for an exam. He is also great at keeping us as parents updated on how the lessons are going. Would thoroughly recommend Michael
A dedicated, knowledgeable, interested and talented teacher, who explains even the toughest topics in a way that makes them understandable and related exam questions do-able. Not only are topics explained well, but lessons are enjoyable. I can’t recommend Michael highly enough!
My son was doing the dual award, achieving grades like Cs and Bs. However, after having Michael to tutor him and advise him on studying and learning techniques, he achieved all A* in science, and is in all the top sets for A level. Michael now is tutoring my other son, and I'm confident he's in safe hands, and will achieve best grades!!!
Michael is a kind, knowledgeable, and a talented teacher who has completely and positively transformed my son's attitude to and ability in science. Michael also worked as an examiner and as such his understanding of exactly what is required to answer exam questions fully and accurately is absolutely vital. My son said that learning about science with Michael was great as he made it so interesting and also relevant . He explained things very clearly and was always encouraging. My son looked forward to his tutorials and it is worth starting early and overcoming any problems, well before exams. Continuing with Michael for revision was extremely useful. I can absolutely and thoroughly recommend him as an exceptional tutor.
I had been out of education for 7 years when I sought out Michael’s services as a tutor. I needed a higher grade for my science GCSE before I could further my career and it had been holding me back for a while now.
Michael was fantastic at reintroducing me into a comfortable learning environment, he was easy to contact and talk to, adapted to my learning style quickly and gave me lots of tips for studying at home.
I couldn't be more pleased with the results and the life lessons I now have to help me study in the future.View more recommendations
