About Julian
My name's Julian. I have a BSc in Astronomy and an MPhil in Numerical Analysis. During my postgrad I started tutoring both at Uni and privately - I not only seemed to have a knack of explaining complex things in accessible ways, but I actively enjoyed seeing the light bulb go on above students' heads.
I started my career as an astronomer, writing software to analyse space telescope data. Somehow, I ended up writing Video Games for a living! Game development can be pretty mathematical and use real physics too, so I felt everything was related. I eventually became a team lead and really enjoyed mentoring my juniors.
Now I'm retired but still want to pass on the benefits of my wisdom. I'm friendly, patient, literate and have a silly sense of humour if it all starts to get a bit stressful. I will champion your cause by getting to know you, shoring up any weaknesses and keeping your strengths, well, strong!

GCSE / A-Level Maths, Physics and Computer Science Tuition — Learn Like It Actually Makes Sense
Struggling with Maths, Physics or Computer Science? Want more confidence before exams? Or aiming for top grades?
Hi, I’m a private tutor with a background in Mathematics, Astrophysics, Video Game Development and analytical problem-solving, and I help students build confidence, understanding, and exam success in a way that actually makes learning engaging.
Whether you or your child is finding algebra or calculus or momentum confusing, struggling with confidence, or aiming for Grade 8–9, I tailor lessons to how *they* learn.
# What makes my tutoring different?
**Science explained clearly** — no confusing jargon, just methods that make sense.
**Real-world connections** — from space and physics to everyday problem-solving, I show *why* maths matters.
**Game-inspired learning** — I use logic, puzzles, and structured problem-solving techniques inspired by gaming to keep sessions engaging and rewarding.
**Confidence-focused** — I help students stop feeling “bad at this” and start making steady progress. I help them take a pragmatic approach not just to their learning but to the exams too.
And if all else fails, if you take lessons at our family home, we have emotional support guinea pigs to soothe you.
