About We Know Science
Hi, I’m Oliver Taylor, a science teacher with 15 years’ experience in state secondary schools around south London. Throughout my career, I’ve supported students of all abilities, helping to build their confidence and achieve excellent results in GCSE and A-Level science.
For the last ten years, I’ve been offering private science tuition to students who want a bit of extra help. My lessons are friendly, focused, and designed to make science feel less intimidating and a lot more rewarding.
If you’d like any more information or guidance on which course would be best for your child, please email oliver@weknowscience.co.uk.
I look forward to hearing from you!
For many different reasons secondary schools often struggle to find engaging, experienced and dedicated science teachers who have the depth of knowledge required to bring science to life, making it meaningful to students. They often can’t create a focused learning environment that students require for effective learning and deeper understanding.
We Know Science changes that.
In the mid 1980s I was fascinated by the first home computers and spent many hours learning to code.
In the 1990s I learned to build bicycles, renovate classic VW vans, collect geophysical data and build equipment capable of sampling the water column for rare earth elements.
In the 2000s I became a CAD expert, designed complex machinery and embarked on science teaching.
In the 2010s I ran a small manufacturing business and continued my teaching journey.
In the 2020's I achieved everything I wanted to achieve in secondary education teaching in a south London school, including launching an innovative material science project that won a Rolls Royce award for sustainability.
Now I am using all these skills to innovate in science and engineering education.
