Experience

Prior to starting my PhD I worked as a secondary school science teacher in London, and I have maintained my passion for education throughout my time as a research scientist. I have designed and led undergraduate courses for students on the topics of communicating science and energy and climate change as well as tutoring Maths and Science students .

In tutorials I take the approach of breaking down problems, building on your existing knowledge and making sure that you know how to answer questions to get the maximum marks from examiners. I aim to make my students feel as engaged, supported and interested as possible - I understand first-hand how daunting the feeling of being left-behind can be.

My previous students have gone on to study Physics and Mathematics at some of the best institutions in the country, including Oxbridge and Bristol, some from a starting point of getting Ds and Es.

Students I have supported with postgraduate work have also had very successful projects awarded high marks. I have particular experience in supporting postgraduate students with data analysis using R, Matlab and Python as well as focusing research questions and support with dissertations.
