Hi I’m Mike.

Why choose me as your tutor? With my robust educational background, teaching experience, and supportive approach, I am dedicated to helping each student achieve their best, both academically and personally. Let me help you maximise your potential in KS3 Science and KS4 Biology in a way that suits your individual learning style.

My career began with a BSc (Hons) in Physiotherapy from the University of the West of England, in 2000. In 2010, I transitioned into education, earning my Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) from King’s College London. I then worked as a teacher of science for three years. In 2013, I returned to the field of physiotherapy and recently completed an MSc in physiotherapy with Distinction from the University of Brighton in 2023.

During my master’s program, I focused significantly on learning approaches, which enhanced my teaching skills and led to my involvement in peer mentoring. I am proud to have guided all three of my mentees to achieve distinctions in their own courses. I am also an Associate Fellow of the Advance HE Board since 2020. Due to a diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension, I stepped away from clinical physiotherapy practice. Tutoring allows me to continue my passion for teaching and to engage with learning in a flexible manner that accommodates my health needs.

I am known for my friendly and approachable personality, essential traits that help alleviate the natural anxieties associated with learning. I encourage an open dialogue and a questioning mindset, which fosters a deeper understanding and a more enjoyable learning experience.
