About Odira
Hello! I am Odira Raphael, a Mechanical Engineering graduate, author of a Physics textbook used in secondary schools in Nigeria, and now a PGCE Secondary Physics with QTS student here in Leeds, UK. I am DBS checked.
I studied Mechanical Engineering and at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, where my passion for explaining difficult Physics concepts simply led me to author a Physics textbook to help students learn better.
Teaching is not just what I do - it is who I am. I have taught in classrooms and as a private tutor for years, helping students move from confusion to confidence.
I moved to the UK to train as a qualified Physics teacher because I love seeing that moment when a student finally says "Oh, now I understand!"
When I am not teaching, I enjoy applied maths, engineering projects, and finding new ways to make Physics fun and relevant.
I offer patient, high-expectation, results-driven tuition to help you achieve your best grade.

I am a Mechanical Engineer graduate now training as a PGCE Secondary Physics teacher with QTS here in Leeds. DBS checked.
My approach is simple: I make Physics and Maths make sense.
Many students struggle not because they are not smart, but because the topic was not explained in a way that clicks for them. I use my engineering background to link abstract formulae to real-life examples - forces, energy, motion - so you can see why it matters.
Lessons are personalised to your exam board - AQA, Edexcel, or OCR - for GCSE and A-Level.
Each lesson:
1. Quick recap of what you find tricky
2. Clear explanation with diagrams and worked examples
3. Practice with past exam questions and exam technique
4. Short summary sheet to revise later
I teach with patience, high expectations, and a focus on building confidence and grades. Suitable for students aiming for grades 4-9, or 7-9 and A/A*.
In-person in Leeds and online. First lesson at reduced rate to see if we are a good fit.
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
Odira is an exceptionally brilliant, dedicated, and inspiring Physics and Mathematics teacher. He taught me Physics and Mathematics during my secondary school years, and his teaching methodology was truly remarkable. Rather than simply presenting formulas for students to memorise, he guided us through their derivations, ensuring that we understood the underlying principles and the reasoning behind every equation. This approach strengthened our analytical thinking, built a solid foundation in the sciences, and made even complex concepts easier to understand and remember. His influence played a significant role in shaping my appreciation for these subjects.
Driven by his passion for making Physics more accessible and engaging, he authored a student-friendly textbook, Calculations in Physics, which I personally used while preparing for my undergraduate studies. It was an invaluable resource that demonstrated his commitment to simplifying complex calculations without compromising conceptual depth. His rare ability to explain challenging topics with clarity, patience, and precision, coupled with the depth of knowledge his engineering background brings, makes him an outstanding educator.
I wholeheartedly recommend Odira to any student seeking excellence in Physics and Mathematics. Students in Leeds would be incredibly fortunate to learn from a teacher who not only teaches them how to solve problems but also helps them understand the science behind the solutions.Recommendation letter for Sir Raphael Ochi.
I write wholeheartedly to recommend Sir Raphael Ochi for the position of physics teacher in your prestigious institution.
I've known him as an eminent physics teacher in Raphamatics Academy for 5 years. During his period, he constantly demonstrated exceptional academic ability, discipline and genuine passion for science. He also made a physics masterpiece ( calculations in physics), the book covers over 500 Jamb past questions with analytical solutions. His book can even be termed " an invisible teacher", this is because all the exercises in the book has analytical solutions that don't just give answers but will give tips that aid students to understand even better.
He is also of excellent character, charisma and positive influence to his students.
I have no doubt that he will be an outstanding physics teacher in your institute. I recommend him without reservation.
Yours faithfully,
. Ndubuisi Daberechi.Odira is my Physics teacher
A knowledgeable and inspirational science superprof who opened my eyes to sciences
Before I met him I struggled with science thinking I will never understand it.
He is an amazing teacher
Anyone will be very lucky to have himOdira is my Physics teacher. He is the author of a Physics textbook and an excellent teacher. He explains difficult topics in a simple way that is easy to understand and also teaches us the practical aspects of them all. He also helped me win a physics competition, which earned me a scholarship.
He was my school teacher (Promise International School). He teaches physics and mathematics and has made his name known at the school by his great teaching skills. He doesn't only teach physics and chemistry; he teaches us how to think critically, how to ask questions, and how to analyze information. He is the best teacher I have ever seen and the best teacher anyone can ever have. I didn't go for any external lessons for my Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB), but with his teachings and my revisions at home, I scored 346.
Sir Odira Raphael is a man whose love for education is immeasurable and deliberate.
A man who not only educates but also open eyes to hidden truth.
His love for education made him publish the well-known "Calculations In Physics", a book that really helped previous JAMBITES and the upcoming JAMBITES in discovering the wonders and the importance of Physics in our day-to-day living.
Master Odira is a very exceptional physics tutor and an author of a physics textbook (Calculations in Physics). His depth of knowledge is very outstanding. He has a gift for making complex topics simple and always made me love physics. He also has a degree in mechanical engineering.
Odira was my physics and maths teacher. He is not only an author of a physics textbook with a strong engineering background, but he also explains difficult topics in a very simple and clear way that makes physics easy to understand. He is patient, knowledgeable, and I highly recommend him to any student looking for a physics and maths tutor.
Odira is a great physics tutorial
He was my lesson teacher back in secondary school. What I love most about his teaching method is the way he keeps the class lively, the way he gives his explanations so that the whole class will move together, and the way he treats his students. I'm a 100-level university student now, and some days ago we had an exam, a physics exam to be precise, and most of the questions were all on waves. At that point in the exam hall, I went back to his class in my mind and remembered most things he taught on that topic, and I was able to answer my exam questions. So yes, I highly recommend him to educate you.
