Information about Neil
I graduated with a First in BSc (Hons) Geology in 2011 from Southampton University. As a post graduate I pursued an MSc in Petroleum Geoscience (Geology & Geophysics) at Royal Holloway University where I graduated with a distinction.
Since finishing University in 2012, I have worked as a Geologist for a global Oil & Gas operator, where I have primarily been involved in exploring for new prospects and maturing them to be drilled. I have proven experience in seismic interpretation (Petrel), sedimentology, reservoir modelling, basin modelling, pore pressure prediction and ArcGIS.
Fieldwork experience includes:
Tabernas, Spain - Sedimentology
Clair, County Clare, Ireland - Turbidites
Pennines, UK - Carboniferous, Unconventionals
Brittany, France - Mapping
Huesca and Ainsa, Spain. The regional tectonics and stratigraphy of the Central Spanish Pyrenees with regards to petroleum systems
Wessex Basin (UK) - Petroleum Systems
Anglesey, Wales - Metamorphic Rocks
Tenby, Wales - Sedimentology
Kilve, Watchet, Hartland Quay, Bude and Millook Haven (UK) - Petroleum systems
Aínsa (Spain) - Geological mapping
Tenerife - Volcanoclastic sediments
I currently reside in Central London but I am willing to travel.
If you have any questions, please don`t hesitate to drop me a message.
Availability: I am available throughout the week and weekends. Either morning, afternoon or evenings. I will try to accommodate my schedule around yours.
Willing to travel: 50 miles
Experience: Over the past five years I have tutored Geology, Geography, Chemistry and Physics. I also teach study skills for exam/revision techniques which I can incorporate into a normal tutoring session or at a separate time.
Over the last few years, I have taken students on day long field trips, focusing on various aspects of geology in the Wessex Basin (Lulworth Cove - Kimmeridge Bay). This is extremely important at university level and can be very beneficial at A level (with a parent/guardian present) so as one can see geology rather than just read geology.
I can assist with coursework or dissertations, be it at GCSE, A level or at University.
I believe in a flexible approach to tuition and will alter my teaching style to match the students way of learning. This can include focusing more on the practical side, past paper tests or looking to improve exam and revision techniques.
I will provide all of the necessary learning materials (past papers, syllabus, journals etc.).
