Riaz

I`m 22 years old and originally from Northern Ireland but have moved to Edinburgh for PhD chemistry research.

I have a strong passion for chemistry, recently completing an MSci degree at Imperial College London, for which I obtained a very high 2:1.
I have also devoted two of my summers while studying to doing unpaid research in the laboratories of two different universities in order to deepen my knowledge and experience of the subject.
I took a year out from my studies, setting up and facilitating community building activities in a deprived neighbourhood in York. This helped me develop communication skills and explain difficult concepts to young people, giving me ability to facilitate a learning experience. During this time, I also tutored a number of clients in GCSE maths and science, and A level Chemistry, giving me vast experience of tutoring work.

I`m passionate about the ability to communicate ideas well, something that has been built on by community building work as well as extensively participating in student journalism while at university.

Availability: Negotiable

Willing to travel: 10 miles

Experience: In addition to my experience working in chemistry research, I had a longstanding involvement in student journalism, allowing me to communicate ideas more effectively.
I also devoted a few hours of my time every week to working with junior youth aged 12-15 as part of the Junior Youth Spiritual Empowerment Programme.
I spent the last academic year helping GCSE and A level students in York prepare for their examinations, which has given me a rich experience of private tuition. I also had the experience of tutoring one of my peers during sixth form to help prepare them for a Biology AS level.
