About Mike
Hi, I’m Mike!
I tutor A Level Maths, Further Maths and Physics, with 4 years’ experience teaching GCSE, A Level and university students. Over this time, I’ve developed clear ways of explaining challenging topics, making them more accessible and engaging.
As a physicist with a PhD, I bring not only subject expertise but also deeper insight into *why* the methods work, not just *how* to use them. My aim is to help you build genuine understanding and confidence, while also refining exam technique to maximise marks.
A little about me: I got my PhD from the University of Bristol in 2024, where I studied theoretical quantum physics. I then did a 12 month postdoc (research position) at the University of Manchester, and I now work at a quantum computing company.

Lessons are 1 hour long, and we can spend that time as you please. Whether you want me to give an overview of specific topics in the syllabus, or to go through exam style questions, or a mixture of the two, its up to you!
Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by the students of Mike.
Perfect! My daughter has been having online lessons with Mike for 18 months now. We have both found Mike to be excellent. My daughter feels confident in letting Mike know where she is struggling and goes over any work that came up at school.
Equally, I have found that Mike communicates with me about how my daughter is going and the progress she has made.
Initially, we were both worried about having an online tutor as we felt face to face would be better - this has not been a barrier at all.
I would HIGHLY recommend Mike :)Perfect! Mike took my daughter from a predicted A-level C/D grade in Maths and Physics to a B in both subjects. His approach of using past papers and questions really helped cement what she was learning in class and also prepare and increase her confidence in exams (both mocks and actuals). His ability to explain concepts in multiple ways (because of his knowledge in the subjects) meant that she could understand each topic. Highly recommended.

Mike helped me during my A level exams for Physics as well as Maths.
Mike is a great teacher because he spends his time and makes sure all doubts the students have are cleared. Not only that but when mistakes are made in questions he gives detailed feedback and shows which points can be made to increase the number of marks.
His method of teaching why instead of how makes him such a great teacher and as such he helped me achieve the grades I wanted.Mike was an engaging, easy to understand tutor when I was studying physics. He broke down complex concepts to do with physics and guided lots of independent revision sessions that were extremely useful. My confidence in physics at the beginning of my school year was extremely low and I was achieving E grades, but now, I'm feeling more confident in my knowledge and more sure of achieving the grade I need for University.
Mike gave me a few math lessons over the summer to help me come to terms with the Lagrangian method. Super helpful teacher, worked through it step by step, building from the basics. Very likable and easy to talk to. Thank you!
Mike was a tutor for me in Year 13 for Physics, which helped tremendously. I went from C/Ds in Year 12 to a high A in my Year 13 mocks. Closer to the time of my exams, he went through real past papers, and throughout Year 13, I would send him harder questions that I struggled with so that I never just got stuck. He helped me break questions down step by step. He would ask if I had any questions and if I struggled with any concepts or parts of a topic. His explanations for more difficult modules usually followed real-life examples, such as electricity, which, like many other students, I found very difficult. I would really recommend Mike for anyone struggling in Maths or Physics at any level, especially if you are having difficulty understanding the topic rather than just copying mark schemes. You need to try and understand the core of the question and the broader topic it relates to and he emphasised that.
Mike is an amazing tutor who explains things in the detail that you need to know. He always checks in if you have any questions often and is willing to focus on something with you for a longer time if needed. His methods of teaching are great and he will explain things in simple terms or in different ways if you don’t understand one way of explanation.
I would recommend Mike as a tutor. He listens to any questions you may have and gives thoughtful insights into any queries you may have about your next stages of education.
I highly recommend Mike, as he is an excellent tutor. He is great at explaining concepts slowly and clearly, and has helped me greatly in understanding A-level content. I've been taught by him for a bit under a year now, but have made leaps in progress that I don’t think I could have achieved just in school.
I would definitely recommend Mike as a tutor! He is incredibly kind, patient, and approachable, which makes it really easy to ask questions and feel comfortable when you don’t understand something. He always takes the time to explain concepts as many times as needed and, what I really appreciated, was that he would explain things in different ways until one finally clicked for me. His lessons have really helped me build my understanding and confidence, rather than just memorising things.
Overall, he is a fantastic tutor who genuinely cares about his students and wants them to succeed. I’m really grateful for all his help and would highly recommend him to anyone..Great, understanding teacher. Really helped me build confidence in my physics and mathematics application and would thoroughly recommend him to anyone who is struggling or lacking confidence.
I know Mike from the Boost Tutors course.
What I appreciate most is that Mike gives clear explanations and breakdowns of ideas and compares them to real-world examples, which helps me understand them.
After certain tests or mock exams might not have gone as planned, I was always able to send in the questions where I lost the most marks, and Mike was always willing to help straight away, which made me realise how important exam practice is as well as learning the content.
I know Mike from boost physics tutoring as I used to be one of his students and I can confidently say that he’s a really good tutor for a couple of reasons. Firstly, he explains topics extremely well but also in a way that his students can understand easily, using many examples and visual cues. Secondly, if by chance somebody doesn’t understand he’s always ready to go through the question slowly, step-by-step and he even simplifies it if needed by using relevant analogies which is really useful. Overall, from my experience, Mike proved to be an excellent and well rounded tutor.
I’ve had a really positive experience working with Mike as a maths tutor. He has a great way of breaking down complex topics into simple, easy-to-understand steps, which has made a huge difference to my confidence. He’s patient, approachable, and always takes the time to make sure I fully understand each concept before moving on.
What stands out most is how he adapts his teaching style to suit how I learn best. Whether it’s going over tricky problems multiple times or explaining things in a different way, he never makes it feel rushed or stressful. Thanks to his support, I’ve seen a clear improvement in both my understanding and my results.
I’d highly recommend Mike to anyone looking for a reliable and effective maths tutor.Mike Shubrook has transformed my understanding of math. His clear explanations and personalized approach make complex topics manageable and engaging. Mike’s passion for teaching and his genuine care for my progress have boosted my confidence and significantly improved my skills. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top-notch math tutor!
Mike is an excellent tutor. He supported my son through his A-level Math and Physics exams, he made an effort to understand where my son’s weak areas were and provided tailored lessons with revision guidance for each lesson. He went through mock papers, exam techniques and what to focus on. Mike is very thorough and patient in his approach, he made sure my son understood each question before he moved onto the next. We were very lucky to have found him, I would highly recommend him!
