Information about Alex

Hello! My name is Alex, and I`m available to help with GCSE, A-Level and even university level physics and maths. I have a PhD in engineering from the University of Surrey, and a first class masters degree from the University of Sheffield in Astrophysics (I also won the departmental award at graduation), and have a lot of experience in a range of teaching environments.

Recently I completed my PhD while working with Jaguar Land Rover as a Research Engineer, investigating the effects of friction between the tyre and road. It`s a great company to work for, but more importantly the work I`m doing is drawing on all of my degree and A-Level experience, so I know what it`s like to come full circle with this stuff!

As part of my doctorate, in October 2019 I was awarded an incredibly prestigious Industrial Fellowship by the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851. These Fellowships have historically been awarded to some of the biggest contributors in science, including 13 Nobel Laureates such as Peter Higgs, Paul Dirac, James Chadwick and Ernest Rutherford. The Royal Commission`s current president is HRH The Princess Royal. In addition, in February 2020, I won the Young Scientist Prize at the TireTech Expo, and this is also very highly regarded within industry and academia, and in August 2019 I won `best paper` at the IAVSD conference, which is the most prestigious international conference for vehicle dynamics. I`m still in shock by all of the above, to be honest!!!

For peace of mind, in March 2020 I received an updated DBS check as part of my STEM outreach activities. In addition, I was required to undergo a full police check for my work in America, which is a level above a DBS check I believe. This, of course, came back spotless, and I am able to provide both the certificate and references in America and England if required.

If you have any questions, please get in touch. I`m more than happy to speak on the phone, over email, or meet for a coffee if local. I drive so can come to you wherever you are, and pretty much at any time outside of working hours.

Availability: I work full-time, so evenings and weekends are best for me, but please drop me a message if you have a request!

Please note that I am only teaching online (Zoom, Teams or Skype - up to you!) for the foreseeable, due to Covid.

Willing to travel: 15 miles

Experience: In 2016, I worked at a summer camp in New York, teaching guitar. Before that, I tutored maths/physics (even chemistry, geography, English and much more!) for two years alongside my studies in Sheffield, and I was in charge of giving 1:1 and 1:2 tuition to two GCSE maths resit students. All feedback I`ve ever received has been very positive, and I intend on going down the teaching route eventually. I pride myself on a laid-back feel to the sessions, but I always have the students` progress and true understanding at the front of my mind. For the past few years, I have tutored A Level and GCSE students 1:1, and, again, always had excellent feedback.

Alex has been great at helping my 17 year old son with his A Level Physics. Before his first appointment he wanted to know areas my son was struggling with so he could plan the first lesson and work on areas that he finds challenging. Alex is always polite, punctual and friendly. My son really enjoys his sessions with Alex and say he learns a lot. I would definitely recommend Alex for tutoring sessions.
