About Oliver

Hello, I'm Oliver — a Physics PhD researcher at King's College London, offering tutoring in Physics, Maths, and Italian.
My academic background is the foundation of how I teach. I hold a BSc in Physics and an MSc in Medical Radiation Physics, both awarded with Distinction, and my doctoral research involves explaining complex technical work to expert audiences at international conferences. Making difficult ideas clear is something I do every day, and it's exactly what good tutoring requires.
I believe the best learning happens when a student truly understands a concept rather than memorising it. My approach is patient, structured, and tailored to the individual: I find out where the real difficulty lies, build understanding step by step, and make sure each idea is secure before moving on. As exams approach, I focus on technique and past-paper practice so students walk in feeling prepared and confident.
I have tutored school-age students privately, including children with specific learning difficulties, and I adapt my teaching to suit each learner's pace and style. Whether you're working towards a GCSE or A-Level grade, tackling undergraduate physics, or learning Italian with a native speaker, my goal is the same: to help you understand the subject properly and gain the confidence to succeed.
I look forward to working with you.

My approach:

I teach by building understanding from the ground up rather than drilling formulae. My aim is that a student leaves each session able to explain the idea back to me in their own words — that's when I know it's landed. I start by finding out where the gap actually is (it's often one or two steps earlier than where the student thinks), then work forward with worked examples, lots of "why does that work?", and past-paper practice as exams approach. I adapt to the person: some students want structure and repetition, others want to be pushed with harder problems, and I read which is which early on.

Lesson length:

Typically one hour, which suits most GCSE and A-Level students. For degree-level material or intensive exam preparation, 90-minute sessions work well as there's more ground to cover.

My qualifications and experience:

I'm a Physics PhD researcher at King's College London, with a BSc in Physics (Distinction) and an MSc in Medical Radiation Physics (Distinction). I've presented complex technical work at international conferences, so translating difficult ideas into plain language is something I do constantly. I've also tutored school-age students privately, including children with specific learning difficulties, so I'm patient and used to adapting my explanations until they click.

Who my lessons are for:
I teach Physics and Maths from GCSE through A-Level to undergraduate level, and Italian at all levels as a native speaker. I work with secondary-school students, sixth-formers, university students, and adult learners — whether you're aiming for a specific grade, catching up on a tricky topic, or building confidence from scratch.

Details

I offer variable pricing depending on the level, so you only pay what's appropriate for the work involved:
GCSE Physics & Maths — £25/hour
A-Level Physics & Maths — £35/hour
Undergraduate Physics — £45/hour
Italian (all levels, native speaker) — £30/hour

The first lesson is discounted so we can make sure it's the right fit before you commit. Discounts are available for block bookings of five or more lessons, and for siblings taught together. For intensive exam preparation (90-minute sessions or pre-exam crash courses), I'm happy to agree a tailored rate — just ask.

Online and in-person lessons:

I offer both, so you can choose what works best for you:

Online — taught over video with a shared digital whiteboard for working through problems and diagrams. Convenient, flexible on timing, and every bit as effective for most students — I share notes and worked solutions after each session so you have them to revise from. Rates as listed above.
In-person — available across Hackney and East London, including N1, N16, and the E postcodes (E5, E8, E9, and nearby). Some students focus better face to face, and for younger learners parents often prefer it. In-person lessons are charged at £5/hour above the online rate to cover travel time. If you're a little further out, just ask — I can often make it work.

Whichever you choose, the teaching and preparation are the same — the only difference is what suits your learning style and schedule.
