Tutor Information
About
I am a Physics PhD and experienced online and in-person mathematics and physics tutor, specialising in helping students master challenging STEM subjects and achieve their academic goals.
I have helped students gain places at leading universities including Oxford, Harvard, Stanford, Imperial College London, and other top institutions. I have also taught students from Stanford University, Oxford University, Eton College, Harrow School, and private VIP clients, helping them improve their confidence, problem-solving ability, and academic performance.
I hold a First Class Honours degree in Physics from Aberystwyth University and a PhD in Materials Physics, where my research focused on organic semiconductors, diodes, transistors, photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray techniques, and ultra-high vacuum systems.
Alongside my research, I spent four years at Aberystwyth University teaching and supervising undergraduate students in experimental physics, computing, and mathematics for physicists and mathematicians. I also lectured in Mathematics for Physicists I and Semiconductor Physics, and developed the first Mathematics for Physicists courses taught in the Welsh language.
I specialise in:
• University Physics (calculus-based Physics I & II)
• Mechanics
• Electricity & Magnetism
• Calculus and Advanced Mathematics
• Differential Equations
• Engineering Mathematics
My teaching approach focuses on understanding the underlying concepts and developing strong problem-solving skills, rather than simply memorising formulas. This enables students to tackle unfamiliar problems with confidence and achieve lasting improvement.
Whether you are preparing for university, studying engineering or physics, or aiming for the highest grades, I provide structured, personalised tuition tailored to your goals.
