I began my teaching career as Head of Physics at Queen’s Gate School, South Kensington, after completing an Applied Physics degree and working as a research engineer at Rolls Royce in Derby. My passion for Physics led me to study a PGCE and dedicate many years to teaching before moving into online tutoring in 2021. Drawing on my extensive classroom experience and industry background, I help students see how Physics connects […] - [A Level & GCSE Computer Science tutor](https://philnelkin.com/computer-science/): A Level & GCSE Computer Science tutor GCSE and A-Level Computer Science tuition is perfect for the online environment. I’ve been an A Level and GCSE Computer Science tutor for a few years but my classroom teaching experience goes back a long way! My sessions include interactive coding exercises, exam-focused practice, and detailed mark scheme analysis. Whatever exam boards your son or daughter follows, I provide clear explanations and strategies for success based on my 30 plus years experience as a teacher. At A Level, I have provided guidance on the OCR and AQA NEAs and coding languages I have taught […] - [summer catch-up](https://philnelkin.com/summer-catch-up/): summer catch-up sessions (July & August) GCSE / A Level Computer Science & Physics Is your son or daughter falling behind or losing confidence in Computer Science or Physics? I’m offering tailored summer catch-up sessions—online or in-person in the Ealing area—to help students re-engage, build confidence, and strengthen understanding ahead of the new academic year. I’m currently working with a number of Year 10 and Year 12 students who started summer catch-up sessions with me in July and August, 2025. They really benefitted from the extra support in subjects they once enjoyed. Most of the students I took on last year […] - [digital strategy](https://philnelkin.com/digital-strategy/): digital strategy overview ​In the last 10 years, as well as continuing to be a Head of Computer Science and teacher, I have held positions in senior management and have developed and implemented Digital Strategy. In schools this strategy is far reaching and diverse and affects all aspects of school life! ​Although I have technical skills and absolutely love to get my hands dirty, in a ‘geeky way’, one of my greatest strengths is the ability to communicate across the school community including parents, governors and staff. ​One of the things I enjoy is being part of the process of transformation […] - [workshops](https://philnelkin.com/workshops/): computer science workshops an overview of what I offer With over 20 years experience developing IT and Computer Science curricular and delivering creative lessons and workshops across all key stages, I offer staff training or in person workshop delivery to KS2 to KS5 students. I live in West London and am happy to travel to your school in the London area to train staff or deliver workshops. KS2 and KS3 Scratch is a common coding application which many schools use at KS2 and some still at KS3. Scratch is a fantastic tool for clearly showing coding structures like loops and selection […] - [mentoring-support](https://philnelkin.com/mentoring-support/): mentoring & support Drawing on over 28 years experience, I provide tailored Computer Science support for schools.

From curriculum planning to teacher mentoring, I specialise in helping schools succeed in delivering high-quality Computer Science teaching. Computer Science teachers are a rare breed! While some schools have managed to find a newly qualified teacher, others have appointed non-specialists who have the potential to be good teachers but need guidance with the theory and […] - [teaching-tutoring](https://philnelkin.com/teaching-tutoring/): teaching & tutoring teaching experience I tutor A Level and GCSE Computer Science and Physics both online and in-person in the Ealing area of West London. After over 30 years of being a teacher and senior leader in secondary schools, I decided to go freelance in 2021. I still have connections with two of my old schools where I help out with Computer Science and the occasional IT workshop and recently helped a school in Brussels where I supported a teacher and ran workshops. My first teaching job was that of Head of Physics with IT. I then started to teach […] - [home](https://philnelkin.com/): Computer Science & Physics Tutor Computer Science Support for Schools Computer Science and Physics Tutor.
