Personally Interviewed

Our tutors go through a rigorous selection process, having been interviewed to assess their teaching skills and subject knowledge. They have extensive tutoring experience with a track record of success, helping students achieve their academic goals.

Tutoring Experience

My tutoring journey began during my gap year in 2018 in Houston, Texas, where I discovered my passion for sharing Physics knowledge with students. Over two years, I’ve worked with IB and GCSE Physics learners, helping one student improve from a 4 to a 6 on their diploma. My tailored explanations and use of electronic whiteboards ensure engaging lessons and effective progress tracking.

Tutoring Approach

My approach combines structured lesson planning with personalised learning, focusing on mastering IB Physics. Together with my students, I identify challenging areas of the syllabus, refining skills through practice problems and tailored instructional methods. Inspired by Oxford tutorials, I encourage active input and exploration of concepts, fostering critical thinking. For Oxbridge applications, I offer unique insights into excelling in Physics interviews and assessments.

Testimonials

"Lessons with Jake were very useful and productive! He was very patient and understanding with me, and his practice‑question focus was incredibly helpful—I not only learned the necessary content and equations for different question types, but also picked up strategies for how to answer them effectively. The lessons exposed me to a variety of problems and approaches that really boosted my preparation. While I wasn’t particularly stressed going into my IB exams, the sessions definitely built my confidence even more. Jake’s deep knowledge of IB content meant that pretty much every question I had was answered, and he made complex concepts very simple to grasp (especially in electromagnetism)."

Olamide, IB Physics

"Working with Jake was a great experience—he helped me develop the skills necessary to achieve a grade 7 in both Mathematics AA HL and Physics HL, and even guided me in selecting the right university with his expertise. He was truly excellent in both subjects, and thanks to his engineering background he deepened my understanding and allowed me to explore some of my maths and physics interests by explaining concepts beyond the syllabus. Every lesson was tailored exactly to what I needed, boosting my confidence and ensuring I felt fully prepared for my IB exams. I would recommend Jake without hesitation to anyone aiming for top grades and clear, insightful guidance."

Omar, IB Physics

"Working with Jake helped me improve a lot in Physics SL—he explained each concept clearly and concisely and made sure I did a lot of practice questions. In the end, I managed to achieve a 7 with his support!"

Saina, IB Physics

"Jake is a great tutor. Lessons helped Usman prepare well for IB exams and I saw a clear improvement in him. Outside of the lessons Jake communicated well and lessons were always on time as scheduled. Overall I would definitely recommend Jake to other students."

Sajjad, IB Physics

"Working with Jake was incredibly valuable. He was very good at explaining complex stuff and making it easy to understand. He would also be available via WhatsApp whenever I needed help with a question. A few quicker responses to these questions would have made his tutoring even better. Overall, his clear, patient explanations boosted my confidence and understanding, and I’d recommend his tutoring."
