I am a recent Physics Graduate from Durham, currently studying a Masters in Computationally Applied Mathematics in Edinburgh. I thoroughly enjoy the subjects I teach and appreciate how they can be applied to the world around us.

My teaching style is entirely dependent on the student, and I have am happy to try different methods depending on the way a student learns. For particularly abstract mathematical concepts, I often find visual aids such as desmos graphing calculator can be useful tools to help picture how these constructs work. Since I was taking these exams not too long ago, I am very familiar with the specific ways in which examiners will phrase questions and how they will mark the papers; so after encouraging genuine interest for the subjects, I am always careful to point out to students that (unfortunately) this is the way they will be marked, and these are the things they should look out for.

My teaching method is entirely dependent on the needs of the tutee. I can fully appreciate that every student can be different, however, I would always try to encourage an interest for the subject itself, including the academic material.
