About
Since qualifying as a teacher in 1993 I have worked in state and private schools for over 20 years. I now concentrate on tuition which I started about 14 years ago. Since COVID I've gained lots of experience doing tuition online and I now do all my tuition that way. I tutor in A - level and GCSE physics, although due to the demand for A - level physics tuition I have come to specialise in that area. I have tutored in syllabuses from all the main exam boards as well as some of the less common boards like Cambridge International.
My approach to tutoring involves inspiring real interest in physics and encouraging students to be aware of the connections between areas within topics and between topics themselves.
When I'm not teaching physics I enjoy hiking and golf and I still still keep my hand in at martial arts, which I used to teach. I have practiced yoga and tai chi and trained in a physical therapy called Full Movement Method.

Reviews from First Tutors
Imported from Michael J.'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.

Mike has been a excellent tutor for my son in the lead up to his Physics A level. He has clearly understood the issues that my son needed to address and it was evident that his teaching experience has helped in this regard enormously. Mike was patient and recognised where extra support was needed to 'get' each topic as they arose. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mike as a tutor.

Mile is a professional and a very helpful tutor. Mike is very approachable and is able to adapt teaching styles based on the students abilities. There is no question regarding his immense ability, understanding and grasp of physics.

Michael is a very reliable and flexible tutor. My son enjoyed the few lessons he had with Michael and find them useful but unfortunately he decided to switch his subject from Physics to Applied sciences. I would highly recommend this tutor.

Michael has just started to tutor our son in Physics and he is very happy with him and I think they will make a good team going forward for AS exams shortly and A levels next year .
