About
I have been a full-time professional private tutor in Maths and Science for the past 5+ years, accruing over 100 students and 3000 hours of experience. I work with students for GCSE Maths & Science, A-Level Maths, Further Maths & Physics and Undergraduate Physics.
Most of my clients have been on a one-to-one basis, of which on average I tend to work with over the course of 2 years.
Outside of the academic setting, I am a qualified coaching assistant with England Athletics for Bristol & West Athletics Club where I coach the javelin throw. More often you can find me on a yoga mat and gymnastic strength training, which provide a solid foundation for my rock climbing passion.
Bio
My academic career took me through 3 degrees in physics over a period of about 10 years before I decided to share my knowledge and experience as a private tutor, which I have been doing for nearly 6 years.
