Paddy's Story
If you are aiming for stronger results in Physics, Chemistry, or Mathematics, Paddy can help you get there. Through clear explanations, structured problem-solving, and personalised guidance, challenging concepts become easier to understand and far less daunting. Each session focuses on building strong foundations, confidence, and the skills needed to perform well in assessments and examinations.
“I am deeply passionate about teaching and supporting the next generation of students in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. For nearly 20 years at the University of Otago, I have led academic tuition at Arana College as Deputy Warden and Senior Tutor. I have also supported first-year Health Science students through one of the most demanding stages of their academic journey.
I understand what it takes to succeed in both NCEA and first-year Health Sciences. With focused and personalised tutoring, many of my students have progressed into the tertiary programmes they once only hoped for.” – Paddy

LIVE Online Tutorials
How we help YOU to achieve YOUR GOALS
Paddy begins every tutorial by taking the time to understand how you learn and where you are struggling. From there, he shapes each lesson around your pace, learning style, and academic goals, so every session feels focused, supportive, and genuinely productive.
Lessons are delivered through interactive live online video conferencing, where you engage with Paddy face-to-face, ask questions freely, and follow along as concepts are explained step by step. Using an online whiteboard, complex ideas are broken down into clear, logical steps that make difficult problems easier to grasp and apply.
You can attend tutorials from anywhere that suits you, learning in a comfortable and familiar environment. All you need is a reliable high-speed internet connection and a computer with a webcam, microphone, and speakers.
During each session, Paddy will:
-
Clarify key theories using clear and simple explanations
-
Show how concepts connect to real-world situations and examinations
-
Teach structured ways to analyse questions with confidence
-
Guide you through effective problem-solving techniques
You will also work through past examination questions to strengthen your understanding, sharpen your skills, and build the confidence needed to perform at your best when it matters most.
