Dr Craig D.

Thanks for visiting my profile. I am new to TutorPerch and am a PhD-qualified scientist and educator with over 15 years of experience of teaching in physics and math (with a specialism in acoustics) with a genuine passion for making complex ideas click. I completed my PhD and Master’s at the University of Texas at Austin, where I also cut my teeth as a teaching assistant and private tutor before building a research career at the University of Southampton.

What drives me as a tutor is seeing the moment a student shifts from confusion to confidence. I’ve spent my career explaining difficult scientific and mathematical concepts to everyone from GCSE students to postgraduate researchers and industry professionals and I’ve learned that the key is always the same: patience, clarity, and meeting the student where they are.

I tailor every session to the individual. Whether you’re working to pass your GCSEs, aiming for top A-Level grades, or preparing for a university entrance exam, I’ll build sessions around your specific gaps, learning style, and goals. I’m equally comfortable working through past papers, derivations, or conceptual problem-solving.
