About

My name is Aaron, and I live and work in Glasgow. My work is a roughly 50/50 split of teaching physics / maths, and playing the clarinet professionally in the Scottish professional orchestras such as the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Royal Scottish National Orchestra, Scottish Ballet, and so on.

I gained a master's degree in physics from the University of Oxford and have been tutoring for the past six years, after graduating. In that time, I've taught over thirty students, three of whom I was able to help gain their own places to study at Oxford or Cambridge.

I've taught students across all the UK exam boards, and helped students prepare for university interviews, as well as the associated STEP, PAT, TMUA, ESAT and other admissions exams. I'm perfectly comfortable teaching any physics, maths, further maths and statistics courses, and I've collected (and written myself) a huge selection of interview preparation questions.

Most of my teaching tends to be online - but I'm equally happy to teach in person at my home in Glasgow. If you are in the nearby area, I may be able to travel to you; please contact me to discuss this.

I care very much about teaching to the best of my ability, and have amassed considerable experience in how to present concepts uniquely to each student, matching the way they think about problems.

My lessons are always led by the individual needs of the student, so we will spend time on what the student feels least confident with and need not waste time with certain topics if they cause no difficulty.

Outside of my work, I enjoy repairing mechanical clocks, drinking tea, reading and watching science fiction, and messing around with 3D printing, desktop-CNC and analogue electronics projects.

Reviews from First Tutors

5.0 across 5 reviews

Imported from Aaron H.'s First Tutors profile before the site went dark. Shown separately from Tutorperch reviews — today they don't feed this tutor's Tutorperch rating or ranking.

How we verify these

Each imported review went through admin review. The tutor proved ownership of the First Tutors profile via one of two paths:

  • Photo match. The First Tutors avatar matched the tutor's identity-verified Tutorperch photo, confirmed by admin.
  • Cryptographic email check. The tutor uploaded an original First Tutors email (.eml). We verified the DKIM signature against First Tutors' signing keys and cross-checked the embedded tutor ID against the claimed profile.

The review text is the original reviewer's own words, quoted as-is. We verified the tutor's ownership of the profile, not the truth of what each individual reviewer wrote.
