Simon

I am an experienced tutor of engineering at degree level; maths, further maths and physics at GCSE and A-level; and chemistry at GCSE level.

I hold a PhD from Imperial College London in engineering, and have 10 years experience working for a reputable engineering consultancy, designing and analysing engineering systems, components and structures. I have considerable and extensive experience tutoring students in all branches of engineering. Please see below for the modules I teach.

My academic and professional experience enable me to teach subject material from first principles, giving deep insights of the concepts, and the practical applications of the subject content.

Subject areas in which I tutor:
=====================
I have extensive experience providing tuition in the following subjects:

(1) Engineering at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Please see below for the subjects I cover.

(2) A-level Maths and Further Maths and GCSE maths, Further maths.

I cover the syllabus for all years, teaching from first principles to give the student deep insights and a solid understanding of the concepts.

In addition I provide tuition for the MAT and the TMUA examinations for Oxbridge applications for maths and computing.

(3) A-level and GCSE physics

I cover the syllabus for all years on all the major exam boards. In addition I help students with the Physics Admission Test (PAT) to Oxford University.


(3) GCSE Chemistry.

I tutor single science chemistry.


Services I provide include:
===================
(1) Help in understanding course subjects.
(2) Advice on non-technical skills such as writing reports and dissertations, giving presentations, study skills, project management
(3) Advice on how to carry out research, eg: performing a literature review, selecting a topic for research, planning and conducting experimental work, writing up research
(4) Proof-reading dissertations
(5) Mentoring and career advice
(6) General engineering advice

Engineering subjects I cover include:
==========================
- Engineering mathematics

Mechanical Engineering:
________________________________-
- Statics and Rigid body dynamics
- Mechanical vibrations
- Solid Mechanics
- Engineering materials
- Fatigue and Fracture mechanics
- Thermodynamics and Heat transfer
- Fluid mechanics and Fluid dynamics
- Finite Element Analysis - modelling and theory
- Control Systems

Civil Engineering:
________________________
- Structural analysis (statically determinate and indeterminate structures)
- Design of steel and concrete structures to Eurocode.
- Structural dynamics
- Soil mechanics and Geotechnics.
- Hydraulics (closed and open channel flow)

Electrical and Electronic Engineering:
__________________________________________________
- AC/DC circuit theory
- Semiconductors
- Digital circuits

Method of tuition:
==================
(1) Face-to-face tuition in the London & Surrey regions.
(2) Online tuition

For online tuition, I use a web-based whiteboard called BitPaper. This allows both tutor and student to talk and write simultaneously on the same board, and while seeing and talking through the Skype web-conferencing application. This is highly regarded by students who notice no difference between online and face to face. BitPaper allows PDF/Microsoft documents and images to be inserted and annotated.
