About Duncan
I am a full-time tutor with over 10 years experience teaching. I specialise in:
- GCSE and A-Level Maths
- GCSE Sciences (Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Combined Science)
I have an honours degree in Physics from the University of Glasgow, as well as three years of Voice and Acting training. It's an unusual combination that puts me in the unique position of having an in-depth knowledge of academic subjects alongside the communication and listening skills that are so important in the creative fields. Together, this has given me a special set of skills that combine brilliantly for effective tutoring.
I have a real passion for finding engaging, productive ways to teach. Over the years, I have had students with various requirements and I have a proven track record of success. I keep a small roster of pupils in Years 8 to 13.

I pride myself on being friendly and approachable as a tutor, creating a relaxed atmosphere to encourage discussion and questions. I find this environment leads to a much better understanding of the course material and also gives my students a real confidence in what they are learning.
Exam technique is built in to my lessons from the very beginning, because ultimately this is the end point we are driving towards.

Perfect! Well detailed feedback with suggestions and areas to work on.
Perfect! Duncan started tutoring my son in GCSE Physics this year, and we have seen a huge improvement in just one term, in both my son's confidence and his grades. He is now enjoying Physics for the first time! Duncan is extremely professional, engaging and patient, and tailors the lessons to my son's needs, and will always provide me with a weekly update on my son's progress. I would highly recommend him. Thank you Duncan!
- Duncan's response :Lovely student, very engaged throughout and confident to give every question a go. Looking forward to our continued work in the new term
Perfect! Great tutor for my son GCSE science
Duncan did a great job helping my son with sciences before GCSE. He got two 9s and an 8, and we are going for a remark on the 8 because he was only two marks off a 9. So thank you Duncan!

Duncan tutored my daughter in GCSE Maths. He has totally transformed both her performance and interest in the subject. For her he has been calm, engaging, friendly and patient.

Duncan is providing online lessons for my daughter. To date Duncan has been punctual with lessons and communicative. He has contacted me concerning possible topics for upcoming lessons as well as providing feedback following lessons. This has sometimes been lacking in tutors I have dealt with in person and is a welcome change. Wish all tutors were this informative.

My son has improved In Maths since Duncan started tutoring him a few weeks ago. He is very empathetic and has built his confidence and belief in himself in just a few sessions. He is always curteous and punctual, and is extremely knowledgable in his subjects. I would highly recommend Duncan for any child that is struggling at school and needs someone to bring the best out of them. Thank you Duncan and this site!

This reference is for Duncan who tutored my 16 year old daughter Adriana for her GCSE examinations in the 3 sciences and Math.
Both my daughter and I found him to punctual and reliable. More importantly he showed tremendous patience and care towards Adriana and very knowledgeable in his subjects and how to prepare students for these examinations.
He gave her the confidence she needed to go in prepared for the task ahead.
We would both recommend him highly and will call upon him for his assistance with her A levels.Received physics and maths tutoring over the course of a few weeks. I highly recommend Duncan for his extremely polite manner and his knowledge of both subjects, as well as his great ability to teach which allowed me to understand complicated concepts with ease.
I went to Duncan for a single 2 hour session to prepare for an upcoming audition I had. It was my first audition after leaving drama school and I was feeling nervous about my preparation and performance.
Duncan was very friendly and calming from the second I met him. He gave me tips on how to deal with my nerves, and made me feel quite confident about the preparation I had already done. The extra work and direction he gave me on the performance of my song and monologue helped make it a lot better! I would definitely use him again, and recommend him to others for any acting or audition preparation.Duncan tutors me in GCSE physics and he figured out very quickly that I’m not very good with the formulas / maths side of things and so now we focus on that.
When we meet we talked through the syllabus together, which is great for my confidence when I know the material but Duncan doesn't make me feel silly when I don't understand something. I ask lots questions along the way and Duncan is very good at explaining things in different ways and using examples.
Duncan is always prepared (with his notes and a pop-quiz to test me at the end of the session), really nice and patient which is exactly what I need.Duncan tutored my eldest daughter (age 16) in Maths and she got an A. I was so happy with the result I decided to use. Duncan again to tutor my youngest daughter (age 13) in both Physics and Maths.
Duncan is patient, friendly and has a good rapport with my children.View more recommendations
