Thomas

Hello!

My name is Tom, I have just graduated from the University of Edinburgh with a 1st class degree in Theoretical Physics and am currently pursuing a Sustainable Resources MSc at UCL.

I hope to give my students the technical skills, creativity and self belief required to approach and solve complex problems in the physical sciences. A lack of understanding of the fundamentals makes it impossible to gain any real understanding or satisfaction from studying science and mathematics, therefore, I work on giving my students a grounding in the basics before moving onto more complex topics. I have found this also is the best way to approach assessment!

I feel grateful to have studied physics at university. It was simultaneously incredibly challenging, rewarding and engaging. If I can give my students a similar experience then I am doing a good job! Beyond course content I am also happy to help students through the university application process, having completed it many times myself. My clear communication skills, deep understanding of the topics and friendly personality make my lessons both engaging and fun!

I look forward to hearing from you,

Tom.

Availability: I am available weekdays after 4 pm.

Willing to travel: 8 miles

Experience: I have previous experience teaching physics and maths to students in Uganda, fellow classmates and as part of a school mentoring system.
