About
I have a doctorate from the University of Durham in the UK in string theory. Since obtaining my PhD I have worked around the world as a postdoctoral researcher where I have tutored, mentored and taught students from all walks of life and at various levels of education. I have experience in various areas of physics and mathematics including but not limited to: condensed matter, relativity, quantum field theory, string theory, algebra, differential geometry and complex analysis.
My teaching methodology focuses on the individual and finding the best way for them to grasp a subject. Physics and mathematics are important subjects to study as they provide us with several important skills that can enhance career prospects. What I intend for people to learn from me are:
1. the confidence to present and defend your results and importantly to be critiqued,
2. an intuitive understanding of the material with the ability to fill out that gut feeling into a logical argument with precise English,
3. a solid toolkit of techniques to tackle unusual problems,
4. and a lack of fear when faced with a novel situation, in particular, to free form and assess ideas for solving problems before tackling them.
I promise that I will help you develop these skills with kindness and plenty of support (ok, and maybe a touch of humor).

Education
University of Durham
2008 - 2013PhD, Particle theory
I have a doctoral degree in string theory, in particular the applications of gauge/gravity duality to condensed matter physics. This has given me a broad and wide ranging knowledge of physics and mathematics.
University of Durham
2004 - 20084 Year Master Programme in Natural Sciences, Physics and Mathematics
I studied for a joint honours degree in Mathematics and Physics. I have strong skills in both areas.

Reviews
Great Teacher!
Daniel was really helpful and supportive at guiding me through physics problems. He was encouraging and explained all concepts thoroughly making sure I understood all problems. He's also really passionate at teaching which makes me more motivated to learn. Overall great experience.
