I have three years of experience teaching undergrad students and have also helped out during A-level physics revision sessions. Alongside my first-class degree in Astrophysics, I am also an experienced science communicator who have given many presentations to the general public and has a large portfolio of articles. This means I am very comfortable in finding new ways to explain complex topics. My teaching method revolves around encouraging students to break down a topic into easy-to-digest bites before tackling relevant practice questions. This also depends on the preferred learning style of the student, but most benefit from learning by doing things - as opposed to reading blocks of text.

During my PhD, I have worked as a teaching assistant in first-year undergraduate experimental laboratories. My main responsibility is to guide students through an experiment, helping them through the required mathematics for error analysis and marking their lab diaries afterwards. Combined with my previous experience of tutoring groups of A-level physics students, in sessions organised by their school, I believe I will be an excellent tutor in Physics and, due to the mathematical requirements of the subject, Maths. I'm patient, hard-working and understanding.
