I am a Physics teacher with over 14 years experience in a London day school. I have both academic and pastoral skills needed to connect with young people and engage with them on their journey to understand this subject.
I have examined for AQA and Edexcel boards for both GCSE and A Level.

This booklet contains all the GCSE Physics formula that need to be memorised. There is a worksheet for the formulas and they were created and then honed on weaker pupils who find it challenging to apply mathematics in Physics. The familiar format used for each topic with formulae puts the pupils at ease and they feel comfortable in using new formula in this way. The completed sheet is also included for the teachers reference. To differentiate, stronger pupils can start at the end and work backwards. Weaker pupils can then complete the first page with the teacher and try to complete the table overleaf.
