Shirin

I am a qualified Structural Engineer, educated to a PhD level. I have earned my first degree in Civil Engineering with a First class honours, an MSc in Structural Engineering with distinction and a PhD in Computational Structural Mechanics from Imperial College London. In the past I have worked for a couple of consultancy companies as a Structural Engineer where multidisciplinary skills and team work were essential. I find teaching to be invigorating and get a great deal of satisfaction both from being innovative with teaching and from seeing my students reach their full potentials and succeed. I tutor/mentor students from the first year until the final year of their undergraduate degree, MSc and PhD level by providing them online tuition.

Tutoring Experience

I have been both tutoring and mentoring students from different backgrounds in undergraduate and post-graduate subjects in Civil/Structural Engineering for over 10 years, mainly online. I have also done lots of hours on some of the common subjects amongst General Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Aeronautical Engineering. For the last few years, my students have achieved not only their desired grades but also excelled in their field of studies.
I have been tutoring GCSE Maths, A-level Maths and Mechanics, undergraduate and post-graduate students in Civil/Structural Engineering field and some subjects of Mechanical Engineering and Aeronautical Engineering for the last few years:
- Structural Analysis
- Structural Mechanics
- Structural Dynamics
- Solid Mechanics and Strength of Materials
- Structural Design
- Finite Elements
- Engineering Maths
- Fluid Mechanics (Hydraulics)
- Soil Mechanics (Geotechnics)
- Stress Analysis
- Aerospace Structures
- Aircraft Structures and Materials

Tutoring Approach

I firstly assess the background and the needs of the student and then take the initiative in suggesting study plans. I do not leave the lesson without making sure that the student has understood the material and is comfortable and confident to tackle the objectives.
