Steven

I am a qualified Secondary Science Teacher with QTS, completing a PGCE in Secondary Physics from Bath Spa University. My bachelor degree is in Aerospace Engineering (BEng) from Swansea University and I have a masters degree in Astrophysics (MSc) from Cardiff University. Yes, that is three degrees in total... and I still plan on doing a PhD in exoplanet research!

In addition to classroom teaching and tutoring I work in science communication with various charities and organisations. This involves promoting a love of astrophysics and science to the general public, and pupils who would not normally have an opportunity to learn about subjects that I find fascinating - such as the big bang, exoplanets and black holes.

I get great satisfaction from helping my students exceed thier expectations with very high levels of success, whilst enjoying learning and bringing the subject to life.
