Enthusiastic and motivated one-to-one tutor specialising in Physics and Maths; I additionally offer lessons in Chemistry and Biology at GCSE level.

As well as being an independent tutor, I also work for a support agency as a one-to-one study skills tutor and mentor for autistic students in higher education. This is a role that I feel fits in well with my private tutoring and, whilst not a subject-specific role, has further informed my approach to the subject-specific tutoring I offer.

I am a graduate of the University of Liverpool, where I received an MPhys in Physics (upper second class) followed by a PhD in Nuclear Physics and an Associate Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy (AFHEA).

Experience: My teaching experience began as a Physics Outreach Assistant at the University of Liverpool, delivering and latterly developing a wide range of educational activities for young people (from reception up to and including sixth-form), as well as training new recruits to the Outreach group on the delivery of such activities. Such activities were delivered in a mixture of settings - on campus, in schools/colleges and at annual science festivals.

As a PhD student I was also a Graduate Teaching Assistant, demonstrating both in workshops (first year Maths and Nuclear Physics; 2nd year Quantum Mechanics and Nuclear/Particle Physics) and laboratory sessions (third year, specialising in the Radiation Detection experiments). It was through this work that I successfully applied for my AFHEA status.

I began tutoring independently a few months after completing my PhD; whilst it was initially on an ad-hoc basis, within a few months I had decided to make it my full-time occupation. From the outset, I found that my HE teaching and outreach experience prepared me very well for becoming an independent one-to-one tutor. My work is now split fairly evenly between my independent tutoring and my aforementioned study skills tutoring/mentoring.
