Katya

Recent computational chemistry PhD graduate. I completed my undergraduate degree at Queen Mary, University of London, graduating with First Class Honours, and received my PhD in early 2021 from University College London. I have been tutoring for over four years, helping students build up their confidence and ability in maths and science. Although I know that for many students study is just a means to an end, I believe that a good, disciplined study habit can be an indispensable tool in life, and this is the most important lesson that I could teach to any prospective student. I have an adaptable teaching style based on Socratic principles, which I tailor to the student. If a student is simply looking for a pass mark - I can teach them how to pass the exam, but if they show genuine flair and passion for the subject, I would gladly go above and beyond, showing them the underlying principles behind what they are learning, and where they can be applied, guiding them to further develop their curiosity.

I can do online tuition with Zoom or Microsoft Teams, with screen-sharing and an electronic notepad. It`s way better than Skype! Contact me directly for online tuition rates. I can do one-on-one sessions, or discounts group sessions (up to 4 students).

Availability: Weekday evenings (after 5pm) and flexible on weekends.

Willing to travel: 4 miles

Experience: During my fourth year at university, I participated in a peer-assisted learning group - which involved weekly tutoring of students in their first and second years. I currently participate in bi-weekly Research Journal Clubs at UCL, during which my fellow students take turns presenting and critiquing research-based presentations.

Since then I have gained over 4 years of experience tutoring GCSE/IGSCE and A-Level Maths and Science, across many exam boards (OCR, AQA and Edexcel). I also teach physical chemistry to first-year university students at tutorials, and mark papers.
