Teaching History
Zane has been teaching physics and maths since 1988. He first taught for one year at the Radcliffe School in Milton Keynes before moving back to Wales to take a job at Brynmawr School. When Brynmawr School went grant maintained in 1992 he moved to Nantyglo Comprehensive, taking over as Head of Physics there and eventually as Head of Science. When Nantyglo was closed in 2010 Zane moved back to Brynmawr School for another three years before taking a voluntary redundancy.
In August 2013 Zane was offered a part time job at Crosskeys teaching A level physics, BTEC Applied Science and GCSE maths. Just after Christmas that year he was offered a full time job there. Since the retirement of his colleague, Steve Hughes, at the end of 2014, Zane has been the only physics lecturer at Crosskeys while continuing to deliver some units of the BTEC Applied Science course.

Thank you so much for your support for the past few months with GCSE maths and Physics. My daughter really struggled with the content and confidence in these subjects but absolutely smashed the exams and achieved A’s all thanks to your help.
Zane was recommended to me for Maths tuition by a number of people & my daughter has been attending sessions for a numbers of months as she needs A /A* grades for what she wants to do. Zane is very professional, patient & explains processes in a way that my daughter understands & she felt much more confident going into her Y10 exams thank she did in her mocks. I would highly recommend Zane & we are very grateful for his support
Pleasure being tutored by Zane, he really helped me understand the content for my physics course and made me recall a lot of definitions, really embedding my knowledge for the exams.
What made him so helpful was that he was open to go over previous topics or just go through the course, as well as being supportive and intervened when needed. He made sure that I tried to figure out the problems myself and occasionally gave hints to try and jog my memory to understand the question.
This lead to very productive lessons and made real good use of the time that we spent in the lessons as well could cover a lot of content as well as also sparing time for questions at the end to keep me occupied outside of lessons. Zane provided good booklets for each unit which gave informative knowledge and need's to know which really helped when needing to flick back to a certain unit or question.
Overall, taking Zane's lessons really helped me feel more confident in my exams and provided me with the boost that I needed to really understand the large content in physics.
We’ve had the absolute pleasure of having Zane tutor our daughter in GCSE Maths for the past six months.
From the very beginning, he created a supportive, encouraging environment that immediately put our daughter at ease. What has truly stood out is the way Zane has helped build her confidence.
She now approaches her work with belief in her abilities, asks questions without fear, and actually enjoys the subject—a huge shift from where we started! Her progress is evident not just in her grades, but in her attitude and self-assurance.
We are so grateful for the dedication, care, and positivity Zane has brought to every lesson. Highly, highly recommended for any student needing not just support with the subject matter, but also a confidence boost that makes all the difference!
We were looking for some additional GCSE Physics support for our son in his final months of GCSEs as he was struggling due to a change in staffing in the school. Zane was quick to respond and fit us in, providing a much needed confidence boost to my son along with clear explanations of topics and also some practice exam questions. He was flexible with online and in-person sessions that helped us fit the sessions in with our hectic family lifestyle. We would highly recommend him as a tutor.
After my son failed his maths GCSE, and wanted to re-sit within a few months, I reached out to Zane who came highly recommended. With his help, in a short few weeks my son resat the exam and passed! We can’t thank Zane enough for all his help!
Zane has been providing Maths tutoring to my son this year and my son had got on really well with him. He has helped Ben greatly and his Maths has improved throughout. We lead hectic lifestyles and Zane had lots of patience fitting us in and keeping in regular contact!

Worth every penny he charges. he is purely amazing and a lovely man to get along with and is very patient .
Zane is currently helping my son with GCSE physics. Zane is very efficient in helping to arrange sessions and change times at the last minute to fit in with timetables. My son says he is amazing and he explains things well and is kind.
Zane has been supporting my Son to prepare for his Maths GCSE exam since March. My Son is much more confident now, I wish I had contacted him sooner! My Son says that Zane is very calm and supportive and takes time to go through things that he might not understand. From a parent point of view, Zane is very organised and he has been very accommodating changing his days/times to suit our busy family life. Zane is also currently supporting my Son with some Physics GCSE revision. We are so very grateful and I would recommend Zane 100%.
