Hello! I'm Jacob, and I have a passion for making complex subjects like Maths, Chemistry, and Physics both understandable and enjoyable. In the past 6 months, I've developed a strong background in private tutoring, specifically in Maths, Physics, and Chemistry for students up to A-level. This experience has not only sharpened my teaching skills but also deepened my appreciation for these subjects. Additionally, at university, I guided small groups of undergraduate students through tutorial sessions, focusing on preparing them for their exams. These sessions were designed to bridge the gap between theory and the practical application of knowledge, particularly in tackling problem questions. My teaching style is interactive and focused on practical application. I emphasise guided practice to lay a solid foundation, followed by independent practice to build confidence and self-reliance in learning. Whether you need support in specific areas or a comprehensive strategy for exam preparation, I'm here to offer personalised assistance. I also believe in the value of grading and constructive feedback, helping students understand their progress and areas for growth. I aim to create a supportive learning environment that challenges students while encouraging them to explore and ask questions. If you're seeking a tutor committed to your academic and personal development, I'd be glad to help! My academic journey includes achieving top grades (A*) in Maths, Chemistry, Physics, and Further Maths at A-level, complemented by a Master of Engineering (MEng) in Chemical Engineering from Imperial College London. Recently, I've developed a keen interest in Computer Science and Machine Learning. In fact, my master's project was all about diving into Machine Learning, which has been an exciting new chapter in my studies.

My name is Monica and I have just graduated from St. Andrews with an MA in history and social anthropology. I always loved history and indeed still do. I choose to study anthropology because my English teacher got rather annoyed at my consistent questions about the characters' lives. "Just go study anthropology then" - and that is what I did. I am have graduated with a further masters with distinction in the history of Scotland and am moving onto a PHD this October. I love being able to combine my two passions in one degree. I try to explain it as anthropology giving an understanding of the present and history of the past. The marriage of the two academic subjects is interesting, indeed. For example, for my dissertation in the School of Anthropology looks at the community in Glasgow in 1592; tracking the influence of the Reformation at a local freedom. School exams definitely prepare you well for university expectations! There were some things that stood out for me at school as helping. I think you have to look after yourself as well as sticking to a study plan, definitely schedule breaks as well as something nice every now and again. I also think essay plans are key for the arts and english examinations and that is something I would be keen to help students create. Ultimately you need to understand the content, not merely recite a list of facts, once you do it is far easier to remember and argue your point in an exam.

I am a recent graduate from Brighouse, West Yorkshire, with a first class Master's degree in Mathematics (MMath) from the University of Nottingham. I had a great deal of success at degree level - having won academic prizes in all four years and conducted my own research on carbon fibre preforms. I also spent time using statistical techniques to conduct impact analysis at the University of Bath, where I was a PhD research student. In terms of tutoring, I have taught Further Maths A-level to a group of first year undergraduates and Further Maths GCSE to year 11 students. On top of this, I’ve had a number of online and face-to-face students, across a range of qualifications and exam boards. I love watching the lightbulb spark in my students and confidence blossom over time, allowing them to achieve their full potential. Finally, in my free time I enjoy going to the gym, running and doing puzzles. 1st class Master’s in Maths with Applied Mathematics, focussed on mathematical physics, scientific computation and statistics. During this time, I completed a summer research project on modelling the permeability of carbon fibre preforms and my dissertation on numerical methods for solving stochastic differential equations. I got full marks in my A-level Maths and Further Maths, and over the course of my A-level studies I spent time at the University of Cambridge and the University of Manchester. Finally, I was a PhD research student at the University of Bath where I studied impact analysis as well as Bayesian Methods and Quantum Computing.
