Information about Ricardo

Hey there!

I`m Ricardo, it`s nice to meet you! I am currently studying for an MPhys in Computational Physics from The University of Edinburgh.

This degree has given me a great opportunity to learn and do what I`m passionate about: which is the Physical Sciences. I love to mix and match my interdisciplinary knowledge across the various fields in STEM and apply the skills I have gained through previous technology internship positions to my studies and personal life in general. I enjoy a mixture of sports from Tennis to Sailing, and lately even Skydiving! I also do some volunteering work in my free time to give back and show my appreciation for how lucky I am to be where I am.

I genuinely believe that the way technology is changing our societies will have hugely exciting and lasting effects that will make our lives easier, more enjoyable, and hopefully, longer. For this, we need highly prepared and enthusiastic people in STEM and I hope to contribute to that, and maybe you do too!

Therefore, I look forward to helping you see why your studies are interesting and relevant as well as assist you in finding the tools you need to ace your subjects and enjoy yourself as much as possible while doing so!

Looking forward to getting in touch with you, take care and stay safe.

Experience: Private in-person tutoring detailed on CV. Taught Spanish, Maths, Physics, and Chemistry at up to GCSE level; and English at KS3 level. Been a private tutor since 2015.

Firstly it`s crucial to establish a good and comfortable rapport with the student; one needs to be encouraged to ask about every single detail of the problem they do not understand. This ensures lessons feel fulfilling and the various problems and themes we work through are nicely understood.

Therefore, once an appropriate relationship is created, I like to adapt to each student`s most immediate academic needs. For example, while some might need help over the coming couple of months in order to achieve a certain grade in Maths, another might require more sustained support tackling and understanding difficult material in Physics.

I like to mix regular unseen problems into the sessions which are adapted to each student`s abilities; both preparing them for upcoming assessments and helping to consolidate knowledge while giving them the ease of knowing they can successfully tackle a problem that might have once been intractable.

On top of this, I run periodic recap sessions covering learnt material and its applications: ensuring students remain motivated, and crucially, realise that they have honed their abilities in surprising ways. These consolidation lessons also help to give parents the peace of mind that their children are progressing nicely and are engaged with a subject where previously they might`ve lacked the confidence in themselves to pursue fully.
