Top 5% Physics Imperial College London graduate with 5 years (~300 hours) of tutoring experience. Doing a DPhil in Particle Physics at the University of Oxford.

I began tutoring 5 years ago during the IB Diploma Programme - helping with mathematics, physics, and chemistry. In the past three years, I have specialized in Undergraduate, A-level and IB-level physics and maths tutoring, notably helping a student from a top UK university improve by over 40% in their retake exams.

In addition to physics, I have provided mathematics tutoring to secondary and high school students. Parallel to this, I have taught piano, successfully preparing a student to pass both their Grade 6 and Grade 7 exams with Distinction.

My expertise extends to reviewing and advising on PhD, internship, and undergraduate application letters. With my own successful applications to prestigious UK universities, I am well-equipped to offer guidance on creating effective applications that highlight your passion and dedication to your chosen field of study.

My primary objective is to ensure you gain a deep understanding of physics and mathematics in our tutorials. However, mastery of the subject matter alone is often not enough to secure top grades.

Many students struggle with general problem-solving and effective exam strategies. These skills are crucial and must be developed over time. Part of my teaching focuses on instilling these skills: how to approach problems, devise strategies for difficult questions, and navigate various exercise types.

Students often overthink complex problems instead of following a systematic approach. Recognizing and addressing this can greatly enhance your problem-solving capabilities. With my extensive experience and familiarity with various exams, I offer insights into what examiners look for and advise on presenting answers clearly and succinctly. This not only deepens your understanding but also facilitates the grading process, improving your chances of success.

I value patience and acknowledge the unique learning pace of each student. I aim to create a comfortable and encouraging environment during our sessions. This is especially important for younger students who might not initially be enthusiastic about the subjects, requiring extra motivation to find these topics engaging and enjoyable.
