I like to make people aware of the extraordinary skills that Humans have. No spooky supernatural excuses...
Shakuntala Devi achieved amazing feats of memory and had amazing maths skills.
She performed these talents under strict test conditions and mathematicians are still grappling to explain how she did it with such ease.
Alternative methods tend to be complex and clunky.
She demonstrated Kung Fu in mathematics. The beauty of her responses speak for themselves. 😎😍

Oh... Your... Gawd.... OYG.
I finally understand SpaceTime!!! 😍
Watch this video until the end... I've always found Feynman videos hard to watch because in true American fashion, he will be slow, and will digress. But here it's worth waiting for!!!
In fact, when he digressed into talking about tides, I've finally got it! Why are there 2 bulges of tides on either side of the planet... And it's so easy, now he's explained it. I'd heard he was a great tutor and this proves it. So I've learned 2 great things from this genius Physicist today.

Ever wonder why nothing can break the cosmic speed limit? 🚀Most people think it's just "Einstein's rule" — but the real answer is WAY weirder. The speed of ...

Why can't you hear a Physicist urinate in the toilet?

Because their P is silent. 🤣

Found out this week that one of my pupils achieved an A* in her GCSE maths with a score of 138. Outstanding. And she was so nervous. I won't even name her as she'd have a melt down. Well done L. 😍
Here's a photo of my Linear paper results for my 'Exam for Fun' resit.
I'll ask L for a photo of hers, but just the numbers, no names! 🤣
It's not the fact that L achieved 138 & the A* more than the fact that she was soooo nervous and full of self doubt. 😍👍😎

Mia was doing her studies through the medium of Welsh while attending a Welsh speaking school. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
I have no issues with teaching Welsh speaking students, as I'm aware of some Welsh words and we have Google translate for references and backup.

A shy and quiet young lady, she was hard working and diligent.

Well done Mia! 😎

Daniel was taking a slightly different route in education so he was studying mostly on his own, in college, so our lessons were to make sure he was on track... Got the job done! 👍

Congratulations Dan! 😎

Another young lady who's not entirely confident with her ability, but here she is happy to have passed. Takes away the stress!

Now you can move on with your life! 😂

Well done Tegan!

Another, hot off the press....

Hi Neil

How are you?

Fae achieved B's in both Maths and Numeracy. She's really please.
Tamsin.

This student was another young lady who had doubts about her ability. But she's smashed these Intermediate papers!

Especially the Numeracy papers which most students find difficult.

Well done Fae. Amazing results! 😎

2025... GCSE results are out; wishing everyone a Happy Grade Day!

Biology A*
Chemistry A*

Lara did well!
Thanks Neil x

This year 10 student is higher tier, works well but tends to stress and under estimate her own ability.
Congratulations Lara! 😎

Physical explanations of the natural world - Physics Facts.

I hope you enjoyed your holidays... Time to get your brain working.

In this photo, you are not actually looking at the Sun!

If you could reach out a giant arm, and try to touch the Sun with your giant hand, it would not be there...
What you are looking at is merely an image of the Sun projected through the atmosphere, due to refraction of light.
That's why the Sun appears to be motionless at sunset, increasing its appeal by lasting slightly longer than expected.

It's easy to read when you know how.
