A double first-class graduate of the University of Cambridge, Cassidy holds both a BA (Hons) and MSci in Natural Sciences, specialising in Physics. As a tutor, he is dedicated to sparking curiosity, breaking down complex topics into clear, manageable steps, and building confidence in students who may initially find certain subjects daunting. For high-achieving students seeking greater challenge, he often adopts a broader, big-picture approach to mathematics and physics, helping them see how their studies connect to the wider world of STEM and future career pathways.
Cassidy’s exceptional talent for problem-solving has been recognised through a number of competitive awards, including Gold in the Cambridge Chemistry Challenge, the Barnes Scholarship, and the QinetiQ Prize at Cambridge for outstanding academic performance. Having excelled in his own A Levels (A* in Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry), his mission as a tutor is to demonstrate that excellence is within reach — equipping students with the tools, strategies, and support they need to achieve it.
Cassidy began tutoring in 2021 and has since taught across all major exam boards, supporting students from KS3 through to A level, as well as preparing candidates for competitive Oxbridge admissions, many of whom have gained entry to leading UK schools and secured offers from Oxford and Cambridge.
Cassidy’s lessons typically begin with a focus on theory and key concepts before moving into problem-solving. He uses questions to consolidate understanding as deeply as possible, deliberately skipping over areas of secure knowledge to spend more time addressing gaps and tackling challenges head-on.
"Cassidy has been an outstanding tutor for my daughter. He quickly identified the areas she found most challenging and always made sure she felt comfortable asking questions. Her confidence grew enormously and her grades improved far beyond what we expected. Cassidy has been reliable, professional, and genuinely invested in her success. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a dedicated and inspiring tutor."
"Cassidy tutored me through the natural science Cambridge entrance exams. He suggested I bring questions that I had been working on, and he brought harder sets of questions to the sessions for us to work on together. He helped me get better and quicker at problem solving. He is very supportive, comprehensible and prepared. Cassidy helped me to get an interview and eventually an offer for the college I wanted to go to."
"I cannot recommend Cassidy as a tutor enough! He tutored me for A Level Maths, and often went above and beyond to make sure I understood the concepts. Before each session he would ask me to bring at least one topic that I needed further support on. With his help, I was able to improve my overall performance and confidence in maths and I achieved the grade I needed for my university course".
