As a passionate physicist and experienced software developer, I am dedicated to igniting students' curiosity and fascination with the captivating realms of physics and mathematics. These subjects hold the key to unravelling the mysteries of the universe and offer invaluable insights into the inner workings of our world. With a strong background in both disciplines, I strive to inspire students to embrace the wonders of physics and appreciate the profound impact it can have on their lives.

Throughout my career, I have witnessed firsthand how physicists possess a unique approach to problem-solving, harnessing the power of mathematics and programming. This distinctive mindset has driven my success, enabling me to tackle complex challenges and find innovative solutions. I am eager to share these problem-solving techniques with students, equipping them with essential skills to serve them in their academic journey and ensure job security in their future endeavours.

By fostering a supportive and engaging learning environment, I aim to empower students to explore the fascinating concepts of physics and mathematics confidently. I aim to instil a deep appreciation for these subjects, empowering students to think critically, analyze data, and develop logical reasoning abilities.

Whether students seek assistance with challenging coursework, exam preparation, or simply a desire to delve deeper into the captivating world of physics, I am committed to guiding them every step of the way. Let's embark on an exciting educational adventure and unlock the full potential of physics and mathematics together.

Tutoring Experience

While at the University of Liverpool, I served as the President of the Physics Outreach Society. I secured funding to create engaging workshops for local youth centres, bringing exciting physics demonstrations to overlooked communities. We also focused on promoting Women in Physics, inspiring female students to pursue physics careers.

At Imperial College London, I presented public lectures on quantum physics for science enthusiasts. Additionally, I worked as a demonstrator, guiding undergraduate students through laboratory experiments and teaching them experimental techniques, data analysis, and the scientific method.

With a diverse background in outreach, public speaking, and laboratory instruction, I offer a holistic approach to physics tutoring. My passion lies in captivating students' curiosity, promoting inclusivity, and fostering their scientific skills.

Tutoring Approach

During our initial session, offered free of charge, I will conduct a comprehensive assessment to gauge the student's current proficiency level and identify areas that require additional focus. Based on this evaluation, I meticulously tailor a personalized curriculum that addresses the identified weak points, ensuring optimal learning and minimizing time spent on unrelated topics.

The lessons delivered in each session are reinforced through carefully crafted homework assignments designed to practice and solidify the acquired knowledge. I diligently review and provide feedback on the completed assignments, discussing them with the student at the beginning of the subsequent lesson if necessary. This approach has consistently yielded remarkable progress in my students, as acknowledged by their school teachers and evident in their significantly improved end-of-year exam grades.

To attain the highest grades attainable at any academic level, students must commence private tuition as early as possible. By initiating the learning process sooner, we can cover all essential topics thoroughly, ensuring ample time for comprehensive understanding and mastery.
