I studied for a BA in Physics and an Msci in Theoretical Physics at Cambridge university, getting a double first with over 80% in both. Next year I will begin a PhD in machine learning in London. I am available to tutor maths and physics at degree, A-level, GCSE and KS3 levels.

I have recently been giving school preparatory oxbridge interview sessions, based around solving unusual or interesting problems. The aim is to try to encourage students to develop problem solving skills beyond what their core curriculum requires. I have tutored consistently over the last 4 years at various levels as I get a great deal of satisfaction from helping others better understand the subjects I love. In all cases I find the most instructive approach is to solve actual problems and develop an understanding of the underlying principles, rather than working to memorise formulas.

Availability: Immediately until September 2016.

Willing to travel: 30 miles

Experience: I have tutored for several years, predominantly in mathematics A-level and GCSE, but also for maths KS3 as well as physics at various levels. To me, enjoyment of learning is absolutely critical to improvement for any subject. This underpins my tutoring style - I try to guide students to a better understanding by making the subject matter interesting and, above all, encouraging them to ask questions.
