Matthew

I am a patient and friendly mathematical physicist who wants to help people understand physics and maths. I have an empathy for the difficulties that students can encounter and the overlooked potential that they might have. I have a PhD in mathematical physics and my time is now split between private tutoring and research.

Tutoring Experience

I have experience teaching A-level and University (undergraduate, masters and PhD) students of varying ability.

I appreciate the importance of explaining complicated ideas in a specific way to individual students, and this is one of my strengths. It is important for a teacher to have an very clear understanding of a subject, for this is key in communicating ideas to others in a way that is clear to them.

Tutoring Approach

I aim to develop the tutee's general understanding of the subject and how all the parts fit together. In particular, I shall aim to reveal the most important parts of the subject from which other parts will appear more obvious. This will improve both the development of the tutee's logic and their confidence in the subject as a whole.

A also teach online using good interactive whiteboard developed specifically for online tutoring.
