About me
I’m Demetri Loizou, a tutor with a Mechanical Engineering degree and experience as a Lead Physics Teacher. Alongside my private tuition, I work as a supply teacher across secondary schools, which keeps me directly in touch with current curriculum changes, exam board updates and classroom practice. I moved towards 1-to-1 tuition because I saw how much faster students progress with tailored, diagnostic teaching.
My lessons are calm, structured and practical. I start by identifying the exact misconceptions holding a student back, rebuild the foundations, then teach the precise exam language and technique examiners reward.
Why choose me
- Former Lead Physics Teacher with classroom and 1-to-1 experience
- Specialist in rebuilding understanding from first principles
- Calm, structured lessons with clear exam technique throughout
How lessons work
- Free diagnostic consultation: a short, no-obligation call to discuss how I can support your child
- Diagnostic assessment: quick tasks to pinpoint gaps
- Focused lessons: explanation, worked examples and exam-style practice
- Exam technique: model answers, timing strategies and common examiner traps
Students typically see clearer understanding and more confident exam performance within a few lessons.
