About

Hello, I'm Paul.

I'm a Head of Science, examiner and PhD researcher with over twelve years of classroom experience. Throughout my career I've taught in both state and independent schools, led science departments, served as an Assistant Headteacher and supported the professional development of teachers across the country.

Alongside teaching, I examine GCSE and A Level qualifications, giving me first-hand insight into how marks are awarded and how students can avoid the common mistakes that limit success.

Beyond the classroom, I'm passionate about making Science accessible through community outreach, partnerships with schools and universities, and national STEM events. I'm also completing doctoral research in astrophysics at the University of Hull, investigating how some of the most powerful stellar explosions in the universe create the elements around us.

I believe great teaching is about far more than delivering content. It's about building confidence, developing independence and helping every student achieve goals they may not yet believe are possible. That's why I intentionally work with only a limited number of families each academic year, ensuring every student receives the time, attention and personalised support they deserve.
