I have a PhD in microbiology/biochemistry, and an over 15-year career in academia. I can teach KS2 to GCSE science and maths.

It is important to me to find out how a particular student learns, and what gets them interested in a subject. From there I will then give the student a strong understanding of the basics, which they can then build from. Ultimately, in my experience it is essential that the student doesn't just recall the correct answer, but that they can tell me how they got there. I teach maths and science from KS2 to GCSE, online. In-person tutoring is possible if the student is local to Loughton. As part of my academic career I’ve always been drawn to any opportunity to teach. I love sharing knowledge about the subjects I’m passionate about. Consequently I've taught maths and science to many people: from children in a nursery and school outreach setting; to undergraduates in tutorials; to medical conference attendees in an epidemic simulation; to laypeople in a lecture on the biology of zombie parasites! Additionally, as part of my PhD I completed the Demonstrators’ Academic Development Programme (DADP). This was essentially a module from the Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice (PGCAP), the teaching qualification for university lecturers. I passed with distinction.
