A friendly and professional tutor with a PhD in maths and a Masters in physics from the University of Oxford

Advert description

I tutor maths and physics at KS3, GCSE and A-level.

Every student has their own story, their own style, their own ways of learning. During our tutorials, I’ll get to know yours and present topics in a way that’s relevant, meaningful and interesting to you. It’s not about memorising, gimmicks or short-cuts; I want to help you really understand the underlying principles of what we do, so you can take that knowledge and apply it to new and exciting problems.

Whether you’re breezing ahead, falling behind or studying independently, I will meet you where you’re at and help you achieve your goals. My sessions encourage interactivity and creativity. It's a team effort – you can have real impact on the session, and you’re given the space to tackle difficult challenges, make valuable mistakes and grow from them. And if one method doesn’t work for you, we’ll try another until we find the right fit.

I have studied physics to Masters level at the University of Oxford and have a PhD in maths from Tsinghua University, Beijing. I've presented my own original research to world-leading experts, and have also taught A-level maths in a classroom - I can combine different techniques to present each topic in a way that’s clear and relevant, whether that’s getting right down to the nitty-gritty of the abstract details, or considering practical examples that crop up in everyday life. Whatever works best for you.

I have marked hundreds of exam papers from undergraduate students in mathematics, as well as marking several A-level papers as part of my role as a tutor. I know what the examiners are looking for, and I can help you know too, as well as how to approach and break down the exam questions.

Maths and physics are underrated subjects. They can feel daunting and obstinate, and appear completely irrelevant to our day-to-day lives. But they are powerful, and are woven into the very fabric of our existence, from the interactions between atoms, to the collisions of black holes. They can even be seen in the way flowers grow. Understanding the basic principles of these subjects allows us to explore realms we could never touch – to literally reach for the stars.

My goal is to inspire you to aim high and find your success in these subjects that many find challenging. You are capable, and conquering these topics is achievable.
