About Philippa
I am an Oxford-educated scientist with more than ten years of tutoring experience. I hold a DPhil from the University of Oxford, where my research focused on optical sensing, as well as an MSc and a first-class integrated Master’s degree in Physics.
Since 2015, I have taught Physics and Maths to students in the UK and internationally, from GCSE and A-level through to undergraduate study. I have worked with students who need to rebuild their confidence, ambitious pupils aiming for the highest grades, and applicants preparing for academically competitive university courses.
I have first-hand experience of the Oxbridge tutorial system and the standard of independent thinking expected at a highly selective university. Oxford tutorials require students to explain their reasoning, respond thoughtfully to unfamiliar questions and defend their ideas—not simply reproduce rehearsed answers. I bring this approach to my teaching while maintaining a patient, encouraging and accessible style.
Alongside subject tuition, I offer specialist support services for students applying to Oxbridge and other competitive universities. This can include developing their academic profile, refining their reasons for choosing a subject, strengthening their UCAS responses and practising the kind of analytical discussion required during subject-based interviews. I help each student identify their strongest evidence, communicate their ideas clearly and present an application that remains genuinely their own.

Every student begins with different strengths, gaps and ambitions. I therefore aim to tailor my lessons rather than following a standard script. I start by establishing the student’s current level and objectives. We then agree clear priorities and develop a structured plan for progression. Lessons combine careful explanation, guided problem-solving, examination question practice that test whether the student can apply an idea independently. The process will be interactive and designed to deliver pertinent material step-by-step without assuming knowledge, or taking giant and poorly explained 'leaps of faith'.
My teaching is particularly suited to students who:
• Want to improve their performance at GCSE or A level
• Are targeting the highest grades in Physics or Maths
• Need clearer explanations or stronger foundations
• Want to become more confident with unfamiliar problems
• Are preparing for Physics, Natural Sciences, Engineering or another quantitative university course
• Are considering Oxford, Cambridge or another competitive university
Students can expect:
• Organised and coherent lessons with clear objectives
• Explanations adapted to individual requirements
• Honest, constructive feedback
• A clear plan for progress
• A reliable, punctual and professional manner
I expect:
• Your best effort
• A positive attitude
My lessons are friendly and non-pressured, but they are also purposeful. Students are encouraged to ask as many questions as they need, explain their reasoning aloud and become increasingly independent. The aim is to build the understanding and confidence needed for long-term academic success.

Details
My standard rate is £50 per hour for GCSE and A-level tuition. University-level tuition and specialist admissions support are priced according to the level of preparation required.
For Oxbridge and other competitive university applicants, I also offer structured programmes covering academic development, UCAS application responses and subject-focused interview preparation. These programmes begin with an initial assessment and a clear preparation plan; please contact me to discuss the most appropriate form of support.
If you need to cancel or re-arrange your session at least 24hrs notice is required. Arrangements for students located further afield can be discussed. Travel is chargeable at the standard rate - 45p/mile.
