Stuart
Mathematics, Further Maths, Physics
A Cambridge physicist with First-Class BA and MSci degrees, Stuart makes sure students understand the foundations of each topic and keeps lessons engaging.
Stuart graduated from the University of Cambridge with First-Class BA and MSci degrees in Natural Sciences (Physical), specialising in Physics and finishing in the top 20 of his year. He went on to a Master’s in Environmental Technology at Imperial College London. At St John Payne, a comprehensive school, he achieved A*s in Maths, Physics and Chemistry and taught himself Further Maths.
As part of his degree, Stuart completed a Physics Education course, assisting a Year 11 class for a term and earning a First for the lesson he designed and delivered. He volunteered to teach Maths to a Year 10 class weekly, and spent a summer in the Basque Country teaching English to three children. He then spent three years as a management consultant in aviation, where he mentored new joiners.
Stuart believes students need to be engaged and interested to succeed in the long term, whether through challenge or through their own interests. He makes sure they have a thorough grasp of each topic’s foundations before moving on, for example by showing the proof behind a result or discussing its real-world applications.
