Stuart Smith

I am a very experienced Secondary Science teacher with over 20 years of school experience teaching and tutoring from key stage 3 to Key stage 5. I also prepare students for selective entrance exams.

I am a very successful teacher. I have gained experience of teaching years 7 to 11 Science and several years teaching A levels in Chemistry and Physics. Recently I was an examiner for Cambridge A level Chemistry. I have also successfully taught GCSE Maths. A large component of my degree included Maths.

I have used my experience to develop a dynamic positive teaching style. Across the academic spectrum students find popular science in the media engaging and I make full use of this. I am always looking for new ways to inspire and encourage pupils to improve their knowledge and understanding.

Science is an essential skill for life in the 21st Century throughout the world more than ever before with the challenges we face. Because of this I want to promote the highest standards of learning. The best way to do this is to convey high expectations from the beginning, produce creative enjoyable opportunities for learning, then take time to reflect on and celebrate the outcome.

My great experience of tutoring combined with my work as an examiner has made me an expert at getting the best out of a pupil and giving them the opportunity to succeed in their learning.
