My background

Hi there,
My name Aleks and I am a friendly and relaxed tutor. My goal is to teach effectively without stress. From the many years of my experience at the uni (been studying science for 12 years!) I found that stress is the biggest blockage in becoming fluent in all subjects, especially maths and physics.
I believe strongly that you need to be relaxed (at least to a degree!) to THINK!

Experience

I have been tutoring aside my full time job for the last 4 years, having in total 7 students. The number may not seem impressive, but it was deliberately kept low. This is because I prepare for each different tuition and I lead the students for many months towards their exams. It is a time consuming process for me, so I am unable to have more than 3 students at any one time. I tailor the lessons to the needs of individuals, and adjust my teaching style as we progress with lessons. I found that each student is different and so each tuition must be different. I advocate for quality not quantity.

I have a good grasp of what is required for A-level and GSCE exams. I can not only teach the subject but I also prepare the student for the exam itself, as well as for the future studies and work. I try to pass all the good habits I acquired as a student and later a scientist and engineer to the student, and warn them from some of the bad practice I experienced myself.

Most of my students passed their exams with As and Bs, some of them however decided to change their exam plans altogether - regardless of their decisions and their results, I treat all the outcomes as a success and I take a great pride in being able to lead them through this difficult time in their life. At the same time I appreciate it being a massive responsibility, and that's why I treat it seriously.

Qualifications

Masters in physics from the AGH University of Science and Technology and PhD in physics from the University of Nottingham. Currently studying at the Open University for a degree in Environmental Management while working for a company that specializes in energy management.
