Chris

Final year PhD student in theoretical physics with peer reviewed publications and years of teaching experience from GCSE to 3rd year university level.

I hold a Master's degree in theoretical physics with a 92% average. Straight A*'s at A-Level in maths, further maths, physics and chemistry. Straight A*'s at GCSE (highest in the country for GCSE maths which was sat early).

All of this means I have great academic and exam experience which I am hoping to pass onto my tutees.

Tutoring Experience

I began teaching at A-Level, where I lead my college's physics society, exploring advanced concepts in maths and physics beyond the school curriculum in engaging ways with Secondary and AS-Level students. Throughout my Master's degree I tutored maths and physics from GCSE to first-year university level. Currently, I am a graduate teaching assistant (GTA) at the my university and aid in teaching multiple 2nd and 3rd year university physics modules.

Tutoring Approach

Like a lot of students, I really struggled with maths at school. I was lucky enough to have a great teacher, who understood that each student needed to be treated as an individual. Now, as a tutor myself, I hope to do the same for my students. I try to keep lessons fun and engaging, tailoring them to the tutee's needs. I believe the best way to learn maths if through doing and I hope to teach the concepts at a fundamental level, so that students can tackle any problem they might face, rather than simply learning to answer exam questions. From my years of tutoring and studying I have a plethora of resources from notes to exam question banks that will be shared with students. In addition I run a 24hour forum for students to post and answer questions anytime of day, so their learning extends beyond the sessions.
