Science and maths can be hugely rewarding as they teach critical thinking, physical insight, and challenging concepts. Despite this, these subjects can often be unappealing to students. I am passionate about the STEM subjects, from maths puzzles to the synthesis of exotic magnets (my research project), and I always aim to impart this enthusiasm onto students. I have recently finished teaching undergraduate chemistry tutorials at UCL and enjoyed the challenge of preparing the students for their exams. I find tutoring to be hugely effective in helping a student to engage with a subject, and I aim to foster an atmosphere where it is ok to make mistakes through positive reinforcement. Regardless of whether I am tutoring, demonstrating or mentoring I have found this to resonate with students of all abilities. I believe the best way to tutor is through a student tailored approach, which identifies gaps in knowledge and understanding, tied with clear objectives and logged progress, and have regularly applied this methodology when guiding students through their master’s project. Whether it is exam preparation, catching up, or problem solving, I believe students should learn through fun and effective lessons.

Availability: I am available to tutor weekdays and weekends. Please contact me for further details or with queries you may have.

Willing to travel: 2 miles

Experience: I am a Chemistry PhD student at University College London, where I have taught Chemistry to undergraduate level. My studies, and teaching experience, have given me an in-depth knowledge of the sciences which allow me to have rich subject specific conversations with students, where I hope to both teach and kindle a passion for the subject. I have been tutoring privately for over a year and I am familiar with the current A-level Chemistry and GCSE Maths, Physics, and Chemistry syllabuses.
