About Scott
Hello, thank you for visiting my profile. My name is Scott and I’d be delighted to discuss your academic goals. I've got a strong track record of helping students achieve their desired grades and gain entry to top universities and placements. Last year 100% of my students were awarded places at their first choice university.
About me:
I’ve been a professional tutor since 2014 and worked with over 500 students from the UK and abroad. Education is my passion and I’ve been in the industry my whole life as a student, research scientist, tutor and consultant. I earned my PhD from Durham University in 2013 having achieved 1st class honours in Geology as an undergraduate. I’ve also studied at Leicester, Cambridge, Royal Holloway and understand the British university system very well.
Since graduating, I’ve developed my coaching skills and worked on understanding personality, ability and individual differences through psychometrics. I’ve also been featured on several media appearances, including the BBC and written many publications on effective practices for students.
I’ve been privileged to work with some fantastic students during my time as a tutor and am particularly proud of the results they have achieved. Please feel free to look through the reviews from other students and parents. On request, I will gladly put you in touch with some of my previous clients.
My Approach to Tution:
My tuition is entirely student-focused. Different students require different approaches to achieve their desired results. The goal is always to work with you to get the result you want in the most efficient way possible and make learning effective and enjoyable. For some students, that means focusing more on developing their knowledge in key areas, for others it’s improving exam technique or organising their workflow a little better.
During an introduction session, we will identify your strengths and areas that need improvement and come up with a strategy that works best for you.
Subject Specialist:
My services include the following subjects and levels:
Biology (GCSE, IGCSE, AS-Level, A-Level)
Chemistry (GCSE, IGCSE, AS-Level, A-Level)
Physics (GCSE, IGCSE, AS-Level, A-Level)
Geology (GCSE, IGCSE, AS-Level, A-Level, Degree)
Maths ((GCSE, IGCSE)
For each of these subjects I have in-depth knowledge of the specification for AQA, Edexcel and OCR and will provide you with a portfolio of resources. I can also tutor maths in addition to these subjects at your request.
My students have an impressive record of getting into their first choice university. I can help you with every aspect of your application from choosing the best degree course, to the personal statement and entry examinations (such as UKCAT, NSAA, TSA and other aptitude tests). I particularly enjoy working with A-Level students who are looking to study a STEM degree.
Coaching:
I believe that academic coaching is as important as subject tuition. Through our work together, we’ll look at how to improve time management, organization and reinforce productive habits. Many students find that they struggle with pre-exam anxiety or have been diagnosed with ADHD, dyslexia and other learning differences which provide additional challenges that need to be managed effectively to reach their academic potential. I’ve trained in areas of NLP and personal performance coaching which supports - and aligns with - subject tuition.
Resources:
Having access to the right resources is an important piece of the puzzle for a student to be successful. All of my students get access to a personalised library of materials (built over 10 years), that include examination papers, mark schemes, examiner reports, questions by topic and some suggested websites for revision. I’ve added all of these to an easy to navigate website which you’ll get login details to.
I also have resources to effectively document and track your progress, so we can quickly identify key areas/topics that need improvement. These can be customised depending on your specific goals and needs.
We can easily share and collaborate on work between sessions through Google Drive folders which I’ll set up for you on an introduction call.
Online Tutoring:
Today, online learning has become more important than ever. To get the most out of our sessions, I use an online tutoring platform which has been designed and built by educators and allows the students to save, search and playback any of the lessons we have online. You will be able to revise from any of the past sessions we have together online which provides a distinct advantage over in-person tuition. The platform is well designed to encourage interactive sessions, so you’ll be very active and engaged during the sessions which helps with learning and retention.
Schools and Universities:
I’ve tutored and coached over 500 students from the UK and International schools. Many of my international students are based in Russia, the Middle East, China, Hong Kong and Singapore, or are based in one of the international schools in the UK.
I’ve also taught students from the following Independent schools in the UK:

My Interests:
When I am not tutoring, I love to travel and was fortunate enough to do my PhD fieldwork collecting rocks from volcanoes in SE Asia. I also love sports, reading, coaching; and unsurprisingly, learning. I recently came across the term ‘multipotentialite’ in a TED talk, used to describe someone who has a diverse range of interests, and I think this best describes me.

Scott helped my son progress from a grade C chemistry during his January iGCSE mocks to an A grade in his final iGCSE papers in June. My son was studying in a main stream independent school but struggling with his chemistry. He started private tuition with Scott in mid February. Scott was quickly able to identify the key issues my son was having and in his teachings provide him with the understanding and confidence he previously lacked. He engaged very well with my son, would ask him what he felt he needed help with and collectively agree on targets. Scott was always very punctual, came very well prepared for each lesson and was always available for any academic concerns. Above all he provided my son with an abundance of confidence in entering the exam room knowing he had prepared well and was already a winner, whatever the outcome!!

Scott is a real find as a tutor. He is highly knowledgeable, personable, professional and an inspiration to students. My daughter, Hattie, was struggling with Maths. After just one lesson with Scott she became more confident and enthusiastic about the subject. He helped Hattie engage with Maths so that she is happy to do more on her own- a real gift when there is no inherent love of the subject!
Thank you so much Scott!!!!!!

Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
Scott helped my daughter with GCSE maths. He was organised, thorough and challenging. His teaching style is very calm and effective. This is reflected in her perfect score of 9! I would highly recommend him.
As a family, we have been working with Scott since the start of 2018. He has tutored both my son and daughter through GCSE and A Level courses. At GCSE level Scott offered excellent support for maths and the sciences. At A Level he has tutored Physics and Chemistry. Getting to know and understand what type of learners my children were really helped, coaching and supporting them through the stress of the examination process as well as supporting their learning through the Covid pandemic.
Scott also supported and coached my daughter through the Oxbridge application and interview process, resulting in an offer being made. We as a family are all very thankful to have found Scott and highly recommend him as a tutor. Could not have been better!As a family, we have been working with Scott since the start of 2018.

Scott also supported and coached my daughter through the Oxbridge application and interview process, resulting in an offer being made. We as a family are all very thankful to have found Scott and highly recommend him as a tutor. Could not have been better!I was with Scott for just over a year, meeting on a regular basis and he was a great support for AQA A level Biology. He helped me manage my time better and make my revision more effective as well as improving my understanding of content I struggled with and helping me change how to approach and answer questions in exams as this was an issue with me. Scott is very easy to get on with and his confidence in my abilities was very motivating.
Over two years, Scott has helped me understand an enormous amount of topics in both. Chemistry and biology. Very thankful, as with his help I went into my A levels feeling confident in all topics and exam technique. .
Scott has been absolutely wonderful for our son. He has not only educated but encouraged and cajoled him through his GSCE year. Our son would (just about) look forward to the sessions and engaged throughout. Scott was always available to us as parents for updates and feedback. We would whole heartedly recommend him.
Scott has been incredibly helpful to my daughter during year 11. He has given her encouragement and confidence in maths and helped her reach her potential. He was friendly and easy for her to talk to and my daughter enjoyed every session. He has even offered advice and encouragement when discussing alevel choices. His knowledge and experience is very much appreciated and I would highly recommend Scott.
HighScott is an outstanding tutor and really does care about his students being the very best version of themselves. He is an expert for Science (Chemistry, Physics and Biology) at GCSE and A level and my daughter has found him to be a throughly engaging tutor who has rapidly pointed her in the right direction to be on track to achieve grade 8/9. Scott is extremely well organised and has the most amazing resources to share with his students. Scott also takes the time to feedback to parents re progress and has also given me some top tips about my eldest daughters university choices. I am very impressed by Scott and i am hard to please !
I am now in my fourth year of tutoring with Scott and I have seen clear results in both my school work and exam results. I currently study Chemistry, Physics and maths at A-level and working with scott has helped me to achieve As across the board in my AS exams.
As well as helping me to understand any topics I find difficult, Scott has challenging conversations with me so I can understand topics in depth rather than just learning the facts in my textbooks (e.g. why mechanisms/reactions happen the way they do in chemistry).
He has incredible knowledge spanning across both physics and chemistry and offers strong advice on how to approach exam techniques and revision. This has helped me tremendously and his advice can be easily used when revising other subjects as well.
I truly believe that through working with Scott, I have the potential to achieve As, possibly A*s in my A-level exams this year. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anybody looking for a chemistry or physics tutor.For two years Scott worked together with my son amidst 2 separate lockdowns.
His ability, not only raised my son's grades by 2 levels but inspired his love for the subject.
He gained entrance into a Russell Group university and will be studying for a BSc in Chemisty.
If you are willing to work hard, Scott will certainly help you achieve your goals.Scott is a great Teacher. He has helped my daughter in both in Chemistry and physics. He is a great motivator and his teaching technique is effective.
After having tried a couple of other tutors on this site, I am very pleased to have found Scott to help my son navigate through the first year of his A-Level Chemistry course.
Scott is always approachable and works well in building confidence in the subject and bringing his own insight from his valuable experience.
His commitment is exemplary particularly during the difficult times we have experienced during Covid.Scott has tutored my daughter in physics and chemistry during her A levels and also GCSE’s. Having achieved 9’s in all 3 sciences in GCSE she has just achieved A’s in both A level subjects which she’s delighted about. She found Scott to be relaxed and easy to talk to but importantly he gave her clarity when she was stuck ! He’s also been helping my son with maths and we’ve seen a real turnaround which I’m sure will continue as we go into GCSE’s this year . Would have no hesitation in recommending him.
Scott has helped my daughter with Maths and Science. He engages well and provides excellent support. She always comes back from the sessions motivated and particularly likes how he takes the time to explain things in a clear and effective way.
He makes sure her learning is consolidated and she has become much more confident through having the tutoring.Scott was an excellent tutor, His online lessons allowed my daughter to focus and improve and she grew in confidence. He provided me with feedback so I always knew how she was getting on. I would definitely recommend him.
I have been receiving support from Scott for the past 2 years for help with Biology and Chemistry A-level. He has been incredible, focusing on tailoring the sessions to my specific learning needs, making effort to understand how I learnt best. His advice and guidance through my application for university was invaluable and helped me not only deal with my anxieties but boosted my confidence in myself and taught me learning skills which will I will be able to carry forwards. I would highly recommend him.
Scott tutored our son on a weekly basis in A level physics for a year. I can highly recommend Scott as being an outstanding physics tutor. He explained complex issues clearly and gave our son a level of confidence which he was previously lacking. Scott established a strong and positive relationship with our son who always listened to and respected Scott's advice. Scott's knowledge of physics and the exam syllabus was impressive and he also helped our son extensively with exam technique.
Our daughter has always found maths challenging — even frightening. Although Scott taught her for just a few months prior to her iGCSE, his calm, methodical approach to teaching core and higher tier maths questions gave her a new-found confidence. Scott helped enormously with her attitude and preparation; our daughter started to believe in herself. He also gave her much invaluable advice on improving her problem-solving skills and exam technique. He is a very professional, excellent tutor.
KCG, Berkhamsted.It has been an absolute pleasure to have Scott tutoring my son through his A-levels. His kind, calm and professional manner has been invaluable and he has therefore been a great support throughout. Scott even assisted my son with his Personal Statement. I and my son highly recommend Scott as a tutor.
Scott has been tutoring my son (15 years of age) for the past 2 years in Maths and occasionally in science when needed. I’ve watched his confidence slowly grow and so too, the grades on his report cards. My son says he is very patient and explains things in a way that is easier for him to understand than he experiences at school. Scott is extremely well presented and pleasant, he’s always punctual and the sessions are tailored to what my son is currently learning in school.
So glad that we choose Scott as a tutor for my 15 year old son. He spent time really finding out what he needed and provided him with every resource to help with this. He was very inspiring and motivating. He went out of his way to help and support my son and we would definitely recommend him again.
Scott is an excellent tutor. Not only is Scott interested in the teaching and learning aspects of tutoring, he is also keen to understand why his pupils need support in his subject areas. Scott is keen to develop confidence and independent thinking. Scott has worked hard with my son to develop his understanding and his confidence in maths and physics. In just a few months my son grew in confidence and achievement in maths, raising his attainment from a level 6 to a level 8. Scott also helped guide my son to a level 9 in physics.
We are delighted with the friendly, constructive and professional approach taken by Scott and would highly recommend him as a tutor.Our son felt lost with his science studies and certainly lacked confidence and enthusiasm for the subjects.
We approached Scott for Chemistry teaching as this was the subject requiring the most urgent attention, however we were pleased to discover that he was also able to help with Physics and Biology - and even some Geography.
Scott quickly re-established the basics and importantly raised the interest in the subject.
Before working with Scott, the mock results for all sciences were C, actually final grades we are all A*.
Thanks Scott.Scott will always find an approach to explaining a concept which you will understand, catered to you and your way of learning, he knows the syllabus throughly and can help you reach to its limits. Learning with Scott is enjoyable and motivating, he is has a good sense of humour and a caring nature. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.
Scott started tutoring our daughter 18 months ago after a poor set of exam results , having had a very poor teacher for some time . She loved maths and chemistry but couldn’t get to grips with physics at school . Scott is extremely easy to get on with , calm and straightforward
We have found Scott to be very professional and really good with my daughter who is being home educated due to anxiety issues. We are continuing on her education in geography, hopefully for the next 3 yrs and are hoping to extend his help/teaching to science. He is really interested in how the individual works and this has been most helpful for our daughter.
We contacted Scott earlier this year after disappointing results in my daughter's physics and Biology end of year exams in y10 as we were concerned that her confidence had dipped . Scott has a calm and assured manner and Madeleine found him easy to talk to and understand - she found that his explanation of subjects was straightforward and she quickly felt more confident
I highly recommend Scott. He tutored my daughter in GCSE maths for nearly 1 year and he has made a huge difference to her. Her confidence increased massively and she felt she finally could do maths and wasn't afraid of the subject. Her mark before we found Scott was a very low B bordering a C. She scored a high A in her GCSE. He is very patient and kind and really understands that each individual learns differently and he adapts his ways of explaining things accordingly. We also had him for a science session which proved to be invaluable just before the exams. he is reliable and replies quickly to enquiries. We are so pleased we found him. He made all the difference and we highly recommend him. Thank you Scott!
Scot was encouraging and enthusiastic. He was good at explaining things in different ways. He helped a lot.
Scott is an exceptional tutor who has really brought out the best of my daughter's abilities. He is highly committed, patient and has motivated my daughter to do her best in all subjects. My daughter is in Year 10, doing her IGCSE's and initially had lost some confidence in her abilities, where her results at school were inconsistent. Scott was very quick to help change things around, looking at learning strategies that fit well with my daughter, identifying strengths and weaknesses and hence developing her confidence further. He always gives brilliant advice on education and is a great academic Coach. My daughter is always keen to learn from Scott, and she is much more receptive towards Scott's ways of teaching Science subjects, rather than how she is taught at school! Scott is truly amazing and professional in his work! My daughter's standard is now consistently high and she has been predicted all A* 's for next year by her teachers at school.. Thank you so much Scott!!!
Scott has been a real inspiration to my daughter Lucy during the first year of her A level Biology course. His calm and patient manner combined with the ability to explain some very tricky concepts clearly has proved invaluable. Scott is an extremely professional tutor and as a family we would wholeheartedly recommend him.
Scott is a professional, dedicated and inspirational tutor. His attention to detail and ability to adapt his teaching style, to meet the needs of those he tutors, has resulted in not only my daughters science grades improving but also a renewed belief and confidence in herself, that she is capable of doing better in this subject area. He is well prepared and organised for tutor sessions, is always punctual and has regular reviews with us to ensure we are kept up to date with our daughters developments.
Scott is currently tutoring my daughter for Maths GCSE this Summer. His calm, methodical manner suits my daughter and she is able to approach her maths more positively. Scott is very encouraging and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him.
From the off Scott has been superb. Excellent support for our son. Has a wealth of knowledge & is truly interested in the person & their needs & not just the 'student'. Highly recommended.
I highly recommend Scott as a tutor. He's been tutoring my son for 5 months and he's very responsable, dedicated and motivates my son a lot, which it's not an easy task! Very flexible and knowledgeable, I can recommend him without hesitation
Scott is without doubt the best tutor that has worked with our dyslexic son.
He is warm and encouraging which makes him easy to work with. Our son actually enjoyed the sessions and he said that they really helped him build both confidence and skill. We asked Scott to work with Oscar twice a week for the four weeks leading up to his match GCSE. He took the time to liaise with Oscar's school teacher which was super helpful. I would recommend Scott without hesitation, and feel very lucky that we found him!Scott gave my 13 year old lessons as she hated being in the bottoms set. As a result and after just a few lessons she was moved up into a higher set. Scott is a great teacher, devoted and caring. I would not hesitate to recommend him.
Scott tutored me though out my GCSE, in all three science and now just tutors Me In A level biology. I am severely dyslexic and have a statement. Scott was able to take my weakness and put them to one side and really enhance my strengths. He did this through alternative learning techniques and persistence. We was a huge motivator during my GCSE and is now a great support during my A levels.
I look forward to my lessons with Scott. He always has something up his sleeve and is prepared for every lesson. His knowledge is outstanding and his personality is great. You are hitting a win win with Scott.
You would think I am a payed sponsor for Scott... But I'm not, he is just a really good Tutor and has made a positive impact on my life.Scott has been outstanding as a tutor and coach to our son. By building his knowledge and confidence, Scott has enabled our son to make rapid improvements in his grades and he now enjoys a subject he previously disliked. This holistic approach is exactly what was required.
Scott tutored my 16 yr old daughter through the final year of her Geography IGCSE and turned a subject, that had been a " chore" in her eyes, into something she actively enjoyed and then went on to gain an A* in the exam .
I cannot recommend Scott highly enough as a tutor. I feel his approach, which encourages the student to find their own learning style, supports them through all their studies. This coaching made a huge difference to my daughter's ability to plan and mange the rest of her workload.Scott is simply the best and as a mum of two I have met a few tutors in my time. His commitment to his students is clear from day one. He was genuinely interested in Dylan and wanted to understand his needs so they could get the best from the sessions. He is a great listener and a natural coach who believes in his students potential. Dylan was preparing for GCSE Double Science and we employed Scott as Dylan felt there some crucial gaps in his knowledge and understanding. Dylan has dyslexia with a statement of special need. He grew in confidence and genuine interest in the 3 sciences week on week as Scott brought his own passion for these subjects to the tutorials. Scott consistently turned up on time, was organised and focused and went the extra mile to support our son.
Scott has been tutoring my daughter through the summer and we will continue through year 11 for her maths GCSE. Already she is feeling more confident and positive about maths. Scott is very friendly and has a calm, patient manner. He really understands how everyone has different learning styles and consequently he uses different methods and techniques to teach and explain the syllabus. My daughter really enjoys his sessions and she is amazed how quickly she is grasping maths concepts that she had previously struggled with. We are so delighted with Scott's teaching and would fully recommend him.
My 16 year old son rated Scott highly as a personal tutor. Scott explained difficult concepts in a way that best suited his learning style and at a pace at which he could process what was being said. Scott always prepared for each session, having agreed content with my son in advance.
Scott has tutored my son Alex (year 11) this year in maths, chemistry and physics in the lead up to his GSCE exams. Alex has a keen interest in these subjects and plans to take them at A level however felt he was weak in some areas following his mock exams. Alex quickly became more confident in these subjects and was able to tailor the lesson plan with Scott for each session to ensure the focus was on the areas he was struggling with. Although we don't yet have the exam results I'm sure the results will be significantly better following these focussed tutoring sessions! It will also give Alex the confidence to move on to A level with a much deeper understanding of these subjects than he would have had through his normal school lessons. Scott is approachable and friendly and immediately put Alex at ease, we had no complaints about the extra hours of school work taking place in the evenings as Alex actually looked forward to the sessions with Scott!
I am very pleased Scott is a very versatile teacher and helped my son year 9 not only with his science subjects but maths and geography too.I am very pleased to recommend Scott to your organisation and strongly believe that he will be an excellent addition to your staff.
We left it late to finding a tutor, so was amazed that someone with the communication skills, ability and personality was prepared to have a meeting with us prior to any agreement being made.
Soon became clear that Scott was a gem.
He offered his phone number and email address for help outside of the tutor sessions.
Our only regret was that we hadn't found Scott sooner.
In the short time that he spent with us, our daughters confidence grew, she found school lessons easier, and believes that he has helped improve the GCSE grade.
His methods also helped with revision of her other subjects.
Thank you Scott.Scott has been an amazing tutor for my home educated daughter; his enthusiasm and knowledge has brought the subject (which had previously been the least favourite) to life.
Scott's ability to broaden out and apply the lesson content to other areas has been helpful in teaching my daughter how to apply what she has learnt.
Scott's teaching style was adapted specifically to meet my daughter's needs and this approach has helped her achieve her highest grades so far.
Scott is highly organised and prepares thoroughly for each lesson and provides ample worksheets for later reference.Scott's passion for helping others to learn and achieve results beyond their personal expectations is inspirational. His ability to teach subject content combined with his knowledge of techniques that enhance learning, means that he provides his students with skills and confidence that can be used throughout their education. This is what makes Scott such an exceptional tutor.
Mr Scott has been helping me with my GCSE further science, not a long ago and with his tutoring my understanding in science and the marks I got in my mock exams have improved a lot. He also introduced me lots of new techniques for learning and revision and gives me good advice when I get stuck somewhere in my work. His friendly and supportive and always think positively.
