Geoffrey

Qualified and passionate about Physics, Maths and science

After graduating with an MPhys in physics at the University of Oxford and completing a PhD from Northwestern University in graphene nanotechnolgy during which time I worked extensively teaching and helping students in introductory physics classes, I have been working at a machine learning startup company.

My general tutoring style is to look at the problems that the student has been having, and then fill in the gaps in the student`s knowledge or methodology so that they are better able to approach questions with less assistance in future. I like to focus on first principles so that the student develops a deep understanding of the key concepts that will help them for life, in addition to helping them pass the examination they are studying for.

I`m happy to help with school examinations, GCSE A-level, or university entrance tests , having myself been through them, and since being involved in science and maths day to day.
