About Dmitri
As an Institute of Physics Teaching Scholarship recipient with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) in Science & Mathematics and a Physics with Music degree from Imperial College London and the Royal College of Music, I strive to create a learning environment which is both fun and productive by connecting subject matter with my students' interests and setting challenges.
The flexibility of my lessons allows learners to go beyond the syllabus requirements to where their interests lie, and at a pace which suits them. Indeed, many of my students are going on to read courses at Oxford or Cambridge or are participating in Summer Schools at Imperial and UCL to expand the boundaries of their knowledge.
I like to make students aware of any approximations and justify every step of the working. The use of concise and easy to follow standardised methods, cross-curricular connections, and analogies has resulted in significant improvements. For example, a student in my further maths class moved from a U to an A. This success is due to the fact that when a student is confronted by a problem they have not encountered before, they have a scaffold to fall back on consisting of the main principles necessary to solve that particular “class of problem”.
I am of the opinion that the true mark of a student’s intelligence is not in their subject knowledge, ability to tackle unseen problems, or speed of learning; but rather in the ability to ask the right questions.

My passion for teaching science and mathematics manifests itself in a desire to engage in scientific discussions and foster the innate curiosity of those around me.
I strongly believe that the key to long-term memory retention and understanding lies in encouraging the learner to work out a problem for themselves from fundamental principles and engaging them through targeted questions in order to discover the solution rather than using a spoon-feeding approach. This creates a strong foundation from which one might tackle more complicated or previously unseen problems, which is particularly important since exam questions may invoke concepts from several disciplines.
The best measure of success is when my students are genuinely excited about the subject matter and eager to bring their own ideas to the table; at the end of the day only then will I be satisfied my work is done!

Thanks to Dmitri I am finally beginning to enjoy maths and I am hopeful that I will perform well in my exams this January. I would gladly recommend him to all my friends
Dmitri’s lessons exceeded all expectations! My predicted grade in GCSE maths increased from a 5 to a 7 in a matter of weeks and this puts me in a much better position for applying to selective sixth forms. I am very grateful for all your help!
Having failed quite miserably in 11+ exams we hired Dmitri to help unravel maths and science for 13+ exams. The most impressive thing was actually to see our son’s confidence grow once he started to understand both subjects. As he is fairly quiet in a classroom environment it was hugely beneficial having a one to one tutor where he couldn’t hide and had to tackle the work.
Dmitri is passionate about science and it is quite an achievement to see boys suddenly get excited about subjects they had no interest in.Dmitri has been a tutor for my son and daughter for over two years now. Both of them are excelling. My daughter passed all her exams at St. Edmund's college and is now applying to get into university for Pharmacy or pharmacology. My son is joining North bridge school for year 9 and he is continuing to excel.
