Personal Description: Currently working as a teaching fellow at University of Aberdeen.

Courses covered:
-Understanding the Physical Universe - course for 1st year students who study geology, biology and environmental sciences
-Tools for Science - course for 1st years students which have a low level knowledge in physics, mathematics and computing
-Access Physics - course for students without higher level which want to join the university
-Space Science - for 2nd and 3rd year undergraduate students
-Physical Universe B - mainly electricity and magnetism for 1st year undergraduate students
-Practical Optics - practical course for 2nd year undergraduates

Tutoring Experience: Over 5 years of teaching duties at university working with 1st to 4th year students (lecturing, tuition and practicals)

Tutoring Approach: The approach is different depending on the student level and personality.
Mainly, I use the power of example to show the student how to solve a problem.
I challenge advaced students with a broad diversity of problems (quick quiz or harder analytical examples).
For low level students I try build their self confidence, starting with simple examples.

If dealing with larger groups of students (e.g 20 students), as is the case at university level, I splitt the students in small working groups (e. g. 2-3/group) and work with each grop at least 2 times / hour.
