About Max
Hi, I`m Max - I am a reliable, experienced tutor capable of inspiring students of all abilities. In 2015 I graduated with a first class MPhys in Theoretical Physics from the University of York and in 2019 I was awarded my PhD in Astrophysics from the University of Manchester for my research on solar flares. I have broad teaching experience over eight years, from private tuition with students of all ages to maths seminars for modern apprentices to laboratory demonstrations at the University of Manchester. I am now a software engineer living in Edinburgh and also offer tuition in a variety of languages including Python and C++. I have a proven track record of success with students of all abilities and ages achieving their goals and increasing their appreciation for the subject. In the past three years, all of my A Level Mathematics students achieved their predicted grade with more than half surpassing it, with several students securing places at top universities including St Andrews. For students interested in programming: notable successes include one mature postgraduate student with no previous programming experience. After a year of my Python lessons, she conducted a successful Python-based data analysis masters project, passing with Merit. First lesson free!

Maths and science curricula in schools are typically taught in a dry, unapproachable, uninviting way. Usually, there is a `one size fits all` solution to each problem and students are sent into exams armed with a single technique per type of question. I was fortunate enough to have excellent teachers who inspired my love of maths and physics by showing me that every problem can be viewed from many different angles and tackled in a multitude of ways. Without this, I had found myself struggling against a brick wall of a maths problem, when all I had to do was walk around it - to find a different approach that made sense to me. It is this feeling that I have found so useful to impart to my students over the last eight years: problems in maths and physics are always understandable, you might just have to look at them in a different way. My sessions aim to be relaxed but focused environments, where students are encouraged to explore problems and develop problem-solving strategies that work for them. I set assignments for my students as needed, so that we do not waste lesson time completing questions in silence. I tailor my lesson plans to the student`s exam board specification, and where appropriate I like to bring in some elements from beyond the syllabus to enrich their learning and help with engagement.

Max managed to guide my son through both his A level maths and physics exams. His indispensable guidance led to him receiving offers from all his top university choices. Max made the lessons not only efficient but also engaging. My son would often discuss the topics covered in his lessons and marvel at the wider world of applications of mathematics and physics.
Finally, the combination of deep technical expertise, excellent communication, and younger age (shockingly given his PhD, teaching credentials, and professional work experience) made my son instantly bond with Max in a way that his school teachers could not.View more recommendations
