Emma (Tutor in Oxfordshire)

I achieved a first class degree in physics from the University of Oxford, went on to study for a PhD in biological physics, and now I am a postdoctoral scientist in biochemistry. I have a strong academic background in physics and maths, and in order to match this with the biological knowledge I needed for my PhD and postdoc, I therefore have had to invest a lot of my own time in studying outside a formal learning environment. I feel this has made me flexible and sympathetic in being able to adapt learning goals in collaboration with the individual student.

I am happy to consider students pursuing learning on a `non-traditional` or self-motivated route, as well as those who aim to achieve formal qualifications. I don`t believe in an upper age limit for setting yourself goals!

Availability: I work full-time, most typically during weekday office hours, so my availability tends to be limited to evenings and weekends.

Willing to travel: 5 miles
