Best physics tutor in Perth

According to our year 12 son who has been studying ATAR physics, Damien was the best tutor he has ever had. He found his tutoring clear in instruction and really useful especially as it forced our son to communicate his understanding of a very hard subject. Our son would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone student who wanted to ensure success in this subject.

Physics tutoring

I reached out to Damien for tutoring quite late to get some extra help before my physics WACE exam. He said yes to helping me right away, even at such late notice and was able to make detailed lesson plans that helped me in key areas where I was struggling. Damien teaches everything very clearly and I was able to learn concepts I had been struggling to understand. I would recommend his tutoring to anyone who wants to improve in physics, whether that is just to pass or aiming for 90% or above, he can adapt to any students academic goals and help them achieve success.
